Summary: This story reminds us of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." There is a very brief summary of the plot followed by the scene in which Chief Brombden speaks to McMurphy for the first time. This story can be used initiate a conversation about about mental health, wellness, trust and belonging. It's nice when people around you understand you. But sometimes others don't understand you. We notice that the Chief chooses not to speak. Why?

West Side Story was an acclaimed and popular Broadway musical about an ill-fated and impossible love between Tony and Maria. This story is about a recording of the Broadway score in 1984, 25 years later. Bernstein records the songs with a new generation of performing artists, renown singers who learned to act in the opera rather than Broadway actors who learned to sing in the theater. It's a remarkable documentary that captures the dynamic between the maestro and these superstars.
Perhaps because Bernstein is conducting his own piece as an old man, music that he composed many years earlier as a much younger man, you can talk about aging in this context. What does it mean to return to a work from your youth?
