...story is what seems least compelling. Partly this is due to the competent but bland cast. As Tony, leader of the Anglo gang the Jets, Matt Cavenaugh is an attractive, sweet-voiced Broadway leading man, but he doesn't look like he could survive a game of touch football, must less a gang rumble. As Maria, the virginal Puerto Rican girl he falls for, newcomer Josefina Scaglione has a lovely voice and good energy but seems to be acting by the numbers.

...government must try to rescue the economy. Former-national bank governor Gyorgy Suranyi and academic Ferenc Glatz have both been mentioned as possible caretaker premiers. Or the country might decide to go to the polls early which would open the way for the rightwing Alliance of Young Democrats (Fidesz) party to gain power. Though Fidesz leaders are publicly calling for an early vote, they may prefer to wait until next year.
