The lyricist for West Side Story was, of course, 19-year old Stephen Sondheim. (I call him my friend Steve, because he once actually spoke to me.)

When they were looking for a title for the show, his suggestion was "Shut Up And Dance."

Thankfully, his lyrics were of a more profound nature.

Thanks for these arrangements, Ralph.
