Library Blog: West Side Story 50th Birthday
West Side Story is celebrating its 50th Birthday! There are two sites you can send patrons to: The Official West Side Story Web Site filled with information on birthday celebrations, photographs of various productions, and a Now Playing list of current productions. You can also send patrons to NPR's piece on the anniversary with information on making a new kind of musical, casting and the path from Broadway to the movies.
You could use the birthday to highlight a couple places in your collection: musicals on DVD, piano scores of musicals (especially if they are rarely checked out), music CDs, and even your general music section in nonfiction. Oh, the potential!
