By far the sexiest character in a Bernstein musical, this guy has long played a part in our teenage dreams. Great voice, bad-boy past, dreamy cheekbones - here's why Tony's the perfect manly musical package.
1. As ex-leader of the Jets, he’s a total badboy
Smoulder at us again, Tony.
2. …but also gets crazy emotional after one kiss
Calm down, Tones, you're not in a musical!! (Oh wait, you are...)

3. He’s a sassy dancer
Who doesn't love a bit of finger-clicking goodness?
4. He wears sexy old-man jackets
Who would've thought that a thrift-shop mustard blazer could make you melt?
5. He’s not scared off by Maria’s scary Puerto Rican dad
#fearless
6. He’s super impulsive
Can we come too?
7. He doesn’t care about racial boundaries
21st-century man
8. His face does super sexy things when he sings
Dat smile.
9. He’s a total pacifist
Don't ruin your pretty face, Tones!
10. When he died, so did our teenage dreams of ever finding a perfect man to sing to us on a balcony with our parents downstairs
(Actually who are we kidding, that’s still totally our dream.)
Us too, Maria, us too.
