A musical icon and an iconic musical. Leonard Bernstein was born in Lawrence MA and grew up in the Boston area. He was not only one of America's most beloved conductors and composers of classical music; he was also a driving force behind one of America's most beloved musicals - West Side Story (WSS). Besides Bernstein and his dream-team of WSS collaborators, we'll be looking at the astrology of Lin Manuel Miranda, Aaron Copland and more, and how they all connect to 'Lenny' and WSS. We’ll also look at Steven Spielberg and his recent critically-acclaimed remake of West Side Story. Through biographical info, photos, anecdotes, and music, this talk has appeal to Broadway buffs, classical music lovers, as well as students of astrology.
