West Side Story is a classic and groundbreaking musical - loosely based on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet - which examines the rivalry between two teenage gangs in 1960’s New York City through the tale of two modern “star-crossed lovers.” Tony, a member of the Jets, falls in love with Maria, sister of the leader of the Sharks, and the sparks fly. Bringing several unique elements to the stage – a dark tone, social commentary, extended dance sequences and music that is a blend of both traditional musical theater and operatic styles - West Side Story is a musical like no other, with a score featuring such memorable classics as “Maria,” “Tonight” and “America.” |
