West Side Story

Ponle fuego, ¡vamos! In honor of the upcoming Academy Awards, we are watching the 2021 rendition of West Side Story! In this week's episode, our cohosts gush over the brilliant costuming of Paul Tazewell, a 2022 Academy Award nominee for Best Costume Design. Then, Elizabeth and Spencer dive into the color stories created by Tazewell, Anita's museum-worthy "sun" dress, the return of Rita Moreno, Maria's white dance dress, and Elizabeth discusses her beef with William Shakespeare.
