Hey everyone! I'm Chris, a Fandom Community Manager. We're coming up to the release of Wicked in cinemas on 22 November. One of the most iconic stage musicals of all time, and a mainstay of Broadway and the West End for the past 20 years!

To celebrate, we wanted to highlight stage musicals in general (and their film adaptations), and why they’re so awesome. This wiki is the source of all things West Side Story and we’d love your involvement in this project! In particular, we’d love to hear about what makes this particular musical or stage musicals in general so good.

If you're looking for a place to start, we'd love to hear more about:

1. What are your favourite stage musicals?

2. What got you into stage musicals?

3. What makes a good stage musical?

4. Why should people watch stage musicals?

5. What advice would you give to someone who wants to watch stage musicals? Where should they start?

If you have any queries, please do let me know! I look forward to hearing from you all soon! :D

I saw that there was a WSS Fandom and I immediately was like, "Bro, I love WSS," and so here I am. I recently watched the 2021 movie and I loved it, although it will never be as classic as the original. I've had the songs stuck in my head for the past week. So... ya I hope I'm not lonely on here.

Some stuff:

Fav character: Anita or Tony

Fav song: Something's Coming, Maria, Balcony Scene (Tonight), or Gee, Officer Krupke (I couldn't pick just one lol)

So.... yea. :)

As Fandom is the place where all people come together, we want to invite people to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with us! This event will happen from September 15th to October 15th, with select wikis and characters being spotlighted by Fandom! West Side Story has been selected, with Anita West being the spotlighted character.

Here's what you can do to help!

• Anita's page has been highlighted in the official blog post, so spend some time on her page adding any information that might be missing!

• Join the dedicated Discord server where you can keep up to date on other Fandom efforts this month (ranging from editing projects to hanging out with like-minded people, and even participating or observing a Hispanic-themes video roundtable event)

• Read the general blog about Fandom's efforts

If you perhaps have a cool project about Hispanic Heritage Month on Fandom that you'd like to highlight, definitely join that server to let us know about it! So, come join us on the Discord server - we would love to hear from you!!
