It's episode 3 of Three for the Show and this time we have gone way back in the way-back machine to visit the violent yet musical streets of New York in the 1961 musical masterpiece West Side Story. Based on the 1957 Broadway musical, this film is a "modern" retelling of Romeo and Juliet set in 1950s New York City. The story follows two rival gangs: the Jets and the Sharks, who are locked in a violent turf war. But when Tony, a former Jet, meets Maria, sister of the Shark's leader, sparks fly. There's singing, there's dancing, and there's fighting. Roger and Sue have both seen this movie, which means Todd (and his notorious dislike of musicals) is our "Newman." So join us as we find out if Todd stays cooly cool, boy, Roger declares that he feels pretty, and Sue starts a rumble. Okay, daddy-o?
