WSS at Signature - spoiler please
Posted by: Kaoru 04:24 pm EST 12/21/15

I read the regional review of WSS.

"Signature Theatre in Arlington, Virginia, has a reputation for putting its own spin on classic musicals, but the immersive production of West Side Story now in the MAX Theatre is different: a brilliant reinterpretation that takes the original components and uses them in unexpected ways. Director Matthew Gardiner and choreographer Parker Esse use elements of Jerome Robbins' legendary dances and direction while integrating the audience into the action."

Could someone explain how this production is "immersive" and "integrating the audience into the action"? I was hoping the reviewer would explain but nothing's there.

Thank you.
