With expressive glances, escalating confusion, and impeccable comic timing, Tricarico and Hession turned the stage into a musical sitcom episode set to Bernstein’s sweeping melody. They mimicked the classic theatrical poses of West Side Story, even playfully over-dramatizing the swelling orchestration as their characters spiraled from romantic euphoria into betrayed bewilderment.

The sextet leaned fully into the ridiculous premise, delivering a performance brimming with exaggerated accents, comedic timing, and expressive character work. Each performer brought a distinct personality to the piece, turning the song into a mini musical skit full of shifting roles and physical comedy.
