 The premiere took place at New York State Theater on Thursday, May 18, 1995.

"Somewhere", sometimes referred to as "Somewhere (There's a Place for Us)" or simply "There's a Place for Us", is a song from the 1957 Broadway musical "West Side Story" that was made into a film in 1961.
 The music is composed by Leonard Bernstein with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and takes a phrase from the slow movement of Beethoven's 'Emperor' Piano Concerto, which forms the start of the melody, and also a longer phrase from the main theme of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.
Swan Lake (Russian: Лебединое озеро /"Lebedinoye ozero"), Op.
 20, is a ballet composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1875–76.
 Despite its initial failure, it is now one of the most popular of all ballets.

 The film is an adaptation of the 1957 Broadway musical of the same name, which in turn was inspired by William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet".
 It stars Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno, and George Chakiris, and was photographed by Daniel L. Fapp, A.S.C., in Super Panavision 70.
 Released on October 18, 1961 through United Artists, the film received high praise from critics and viewers, and became the second highest grossing film of the year in the United States.

"A Boy Like That" is a song from the 1957 Broadway musical "West Side Story", with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
 In the musical, the song is paired with "I Have a Love" and is sung by the characters Anita and Maria.
 For the original Broadway cast recording, the song was performed by Chita Rivera (Anita) and Carol Lawrence (Maria).
 In the 1960 film version the roles were played by Rita Moreno and Natalie Wood, but the songs were dubbed by Betty Wand and Marni Nixon (as both Anita and Maria).
 However, the repeat of the two stanzas, sung by Anita, along with Maria's counterpoint of her defense, was omitted because of the complexity of the song, as well as to avoid the repetition, which would have slowed down the pace of the film.
