Young lovers are caught between prejudice and warring street gangs in one of the most important and powerful musicals of all time.
An unforgettable score. A love story that transcends time. West Side Story is one of the most powerful and poignant musicals ever created. Inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, this groundbreaking production transports the classic tale to the gritty streets of 1950s New York City, where the “American” Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks battle for control.
Through breathtaking choreography, stirring lyrics, and one of the most celebrated scores in Broadway history by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim, this tale of love, loss, and hope remains as relevant today as it was at its debut.
