A Threat to the Philistine Liberation Organization

Several members of the PLO will be watching a production of West Side Story this weekend coming.
Many factors suggest this is not appropriate PLO territory - Leonard Bernstein was a major classical music conductor, and Stephen Sondheim is the author of brainy shows (and was a major Broadway nerd in his youth).
But if you look at the details, I think our behaviour is excusable. It is a high school production. Surely even if they were doing grand opera, the fact that it is high school should excuse us.
I must say though, that I think the line "It's alarming how charming I feel" is almost the best English-language song lyric not to be part of an Abba song.
