The famous musical "West Side Story" rolled into Shibuya's Orchard Hall on Wednesday, featuring all the Broadway stars straight from New York. Tokyo is one of the many stops on the show's 50th anniversary tour, which has been highly acclaimed thus far on its tour through capitals such as London and Paris.

Actors such as Takeo Chii, 67, Baku Oowada, 58, and his oldest daughter Miho, 25, and flower arrangement artist Shogo Kariyazaki, 50, came to check out Wednesday's performance. The show runs until Aug 9.

Gosh! About 49 years too late! I think I saw it on stage in London in 1961!
