DURAN ▼ MIAMI SHORES GANG DANCE Look, there was nothing inherently wrong with Steven Spielberg’s 2021 adaptation of West Side Story — the brownface and forced Puerto Rican accents were a bit much. How- ever, despite its shortcomings, Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins’ 1961 film adaptation of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim’s musical remains a classic for many reasons and one of the last big hits of the Golden Age of Hollywood. In a reimagining of Shake- speare’s Romeo and Juliet, Maria (Natalie Wood) and Tony (Richard Beymer) find themselves in love but on opposite sides of two gangs fighting for control of New York’s Upper West Side. O Cinema will screen the 1961 musical masterpiece at Miami Theater Center, inviting the audience to singalong tunes like “I Feel Pretty,” “America,” and “To- night.” 4 p.m. Sunday, at Miami Theater Cen- ter, 9806 NE Second Ave., Miami Shores; 305-751-9550; o-cinema.org.
