Chords for West Side Story "Cool" on The Ed Sullivan Show

_ _ _ _ Ladies and gentlemen, right now at the
_ _ tremendous Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway in New York City
_ West Side Story, one of the greatest musicals of all time, is coming up to the end of its second year
Now this musical was produced by Robert E.
Griffin, Harrell S.
Prince, an association with Roger L.
Stevens
It's based on a conception of Jerome Robbins, which I'll tell you about, the books by Arthur Lorenz, the music by Leonard Bernstein
lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, the
conductor who will be conducting it immediately for you is Max Coburn
Now the story of what they've done here, the conception by Jerome Robbins was quite original because
he translated the theme of Romeo and Juliet, or rather transplanted it, into New York of the present _ and
instead of the Montagues and the Capulets he pictured two kid gangs such as the kid gangs that terrorize New York
And at this moment in the play, you're going to see part of it here, this magnificent ballet
which is called Cool, this particular moment a shopkeeper uptown is closing a store
comes outside and finds grouped on the
_ on the [C] steps of his store a
gang of kids who obviously have just had engaged in one rumble and are waiting for another gang to start another
ferocious rumble.
So this is a setting, here is the scene _ _ _ _ _
