Arthur Laurents - R.I.P.

At 93!  Well done, Arthur. 

The writer of musicals that changed the theatre forever, including West Side Story and Gypsy. You made the world happy and sad, but above all, you made it think differently about the musical theatre.

Three little words could sum up this legacy, "Sing Out Louise!" with two others coming in a close second, "Smile, Baby!"

More later.
