West Side Story is a dynamic reimagining of Romeo and Juliet in the turbulent streets of 1950's New York. As turf war rages between two rival gangs, a pair of star-crossed lovers find themselves caught in the middle - and tragically wrenched between two worlds.
The beautiful, passionate, and heartbreaking work was created by the dream team of Leonard Bernstein, Arthur Laurents, and Stephen Sondheim. Jerome Robbins' kinetic, explosive choreographic style intrinsically tied the musical to its exhilarating songbook, which includes such gems as "Cool," "America," "I Feel Pretty," and "Tonight."
