I don't know about you, but I've always thought West Side Story needed a little extra something. Like Cher doing all the parts. (Part two).

This should be gay nirvana: Cher + classic musical.

Misses the mark, unfortunately.

Holy cripes, I need context. When was this filmed, and more importantly, why?

It was part of a 1979 TV special.

As a huge fan of both "West Side Story" and Cher (I know, what a homo), this makes me really happy. She showed clips of this performance during the Farewell Tour, but I've never gotten to see the whole thing.

For taking on the male characters, her flat chest sure helps .

Her head voice really leaves something to be desired.

This is the greatest work of the 20th century.
