Arthur Laurents Playwrite

He said: "I start with the characters, and I let it happen, and they begin to have a life of their own. [...] People talk about writer's block, or they say how lonely it is. I don't think it's lonely. The people I'm working with — I'll put it that way — are much more interesting than most people I know. And I'm dying to see what they're going to do next. So, it's always exciting. I'm never really happy if I'm not writing. (The Writer's Almanac)

West Side Story is a musical conceived by Jerome Robbins with music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and a book by Arthur Laurents
