ABOUT THE SHOW
West Side Story explores forbidden love and the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, two teenage street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds. Inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and set in 1950s New York City, their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one of the most innovative, heart-wrenching, and relevant musical dramas in Broadway history.
Featuring “Tonight,” “Something’s Coming,” “I Feel Pretty,” “Maria,” and other timeless songs.
