Shorty after Stephen McCarthy moved to Las Vegas in 2004, he offered a female friend an interesting proposition: if she kept the place tidy, cleaned up after his dog Maya and brought in the paper each morning, she could live in his house rent free.

...inherent consequences of cutting out much of the dancing for which the musical is so well known, but the Cabot House production of “West Side Story” at times fails to capture the underlying energy, passion, and physicality of Leonard Bernstein’s and Stephen Sondheim’s seminal work.
