The really great thing about the Broadway cast album of WEST SIDE
STORY is Larry Kert's performance. His singing is amazing and he must
have been the perfect Tony! I watched the film version on the big
screen recently and was reminded that the musical scenes were
absolutely terrific but the dramatic scenes were really turgid. Just
my opinion, Channing

You are right Steve. It was Carol Lawrence and Larry Kert. I've
always wondered which soundtrack West Side Story fans like more, the
Carol Lawrence version or the Marni Nixon verison? I so love Marni
Nixon in her many incarnations, but Carol Lawrence had a beautiful
voice.

Okay Joe & Michael,
The mistake was obvious. Just a careless slip. The Broadway Maria
in West Side Story was played by Carol Lawrence, not Gertrude
Lawrence.
Gertrude Lawrence was outstanding as Amanda in The Glass Menagerie.
