Okay when comparing West Side Story to Romeo and Juliet...

[WCGreen]

What two parts does Rita play...

Is Doc really the friar....

And is officer Kruptkey really from Viena.....

1. love stories are all alike ... boy falls in-love with girl ... yada yada

If Rita is the soul of West Side Story - she would have the equivalent role as Juliet ...

Doc has a Candy Store I'm not sure how that would relate to the Friar ...

Officer Krupke = Yeah you, gimme one good reason for not draggin' ya down the station house, ya punk! ... a cop from Vienna would say the same ...

2. Well, Maria is and was the soul....

Tis Rita who offer to console..
So with that I say she is the nurse...
In Juliet's Life she did immerse...
