Recognized as one of the best Broadway musicals, Shakespeare's
Romeo and Juliet is transported to modern-day New York City, as two
young idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the Jets and the Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one of the most innovative heart-wrenching and relevant musicals dramas of our time. West Side Story premiered in 1957 with the movie version being released in 1961. The picture won an incredible 10 Oscars that year, including Best Picture and Best Score. Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's score features well-known songs including Maria, Tonight, America and Cool.
"A superlative musical; a chiller, a thriller, as
up-to-the-minute as tomorrow's headlines." - New York

"There has
never been a happier integration, a more sensitive blending of
story, song and movement." - New York Journal-American
