I heard about this new version aiming to be grittier and more realistic. Also a more diverse cast with one of the Sharks being Indian American and a lot of African-American cast members representing both the Sharks and Jets. Perhaps more modern with a choreography that's more modern dance than the Jerome Robbins ballet-style choreography. And they left out I Feel Pretty? That seems a bit of an odd choice.

Not all the reviews are good.
