1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. But he didnt like it; or specificallyBy Mary Anne PapaleMy husband requested this book; since he is an avid West Side Story fan. But he didnt like it; or specifically; didnt learn anything new from it3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Perfectly PositionedBy ejgThis book; like the play itself; comes at the perfect moment in history. Make no mistake: without West Side Story; there might not be a Hamilton. WWS broke ground on Broadway and around the world; bringing critical social issues to audiences through its own unique lens. A Place for Us makes it clear that this production was no walk on the beach. Through meticulous investigation; it exposes the struggle to create and produce this play ndash; struggles between the brilliantly talented (but often tormented) creators; struggles between them and the Broadway hegemony; and struggles between the ethnic groups that vied for their place in America. Foulkesrsquo; book offers a wealth of new insights about the play and its place in the Broadway pantheon. Lovers of theater; lovers of West Side Story and lovers of thorough historical documentation will all enjoy this eminently readable book.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A must read for fans of "West Side Story"By Laurie KI consider myself a bit of a theatre geek. I certainly thought I knew pretty much all there was to know about ldquo;West Side Story.rdquo; Well I didnrsquo;t. Certainly not from the perspective of this terrific book. Foulkes goes WAY behind the scenes delving into the social and economic climate that; literally; became the earth within which this work of art grew. It covers the time from the first germ of an idea (really from before the first germ of an idea) through its theatrical run to the film (and all that ensued after). Right up to the present day. It discusses world-wide political influences on "West Side Story" throughout its life on stage and screen as well as influences "West Side Story" has had on the world in all sorts of political and artistic ways. A fascinating; informative read. I kept emailing/texting/calling friends (all of whom are theatre geeks) to say ldquo;did you know ...?rdquo; There are countless moments in this book no one knew. Having the opportunity to "see" this entire theatrical creation through the lens of history was right up my own personal alley. Heaven.
