Yesterday Jamie Foxx was on a late night talk show--Conan O'Brien, I think. He said his 40th birthday was coming up and he was throwing a party with the theme "New Jack City", his favorite movie. What a good idea!, I thought. My favorite movie is "West Side Story", and it's my favorite musical, too. My 50th birthday was last December, and though I haven't had the big party yet, I'm still thinking of doing it.
So...with "West Side Story" as the theme, how would you handle the party: food and cake, decorations, clothing, music, etc.?

Party decorating isn't really my thing. But if you like that movie then check out this mash up: http://www.thetrailermash.com/west-side-story-horror/

Watch the movie again and take notes on the type of clothes they are wearing, especially any semi-formal wear. You can hunt in the re-sale shops for vintage clothing later that is similar or make your party outfit. Serve ethnic Carribean food, especially those of Puerto Rico (which I'm sure, you can get from the people at yahoo.) As far as music, you can tie in the theme with a mix of the original soundtrack of West Side Story and Latin American music, which is easily available. Since the most well-known scene included the song about being in America, your decorations could be based on that, perhaps even with small flags, Your cake could be decorated with a small Statue of Liberty, either piped with icing or a little statuette sitting on top, since it represents the gateway to America.

Ok West Side Story is like Romeo and Juliet
