West Side Story
This Tony winning tale of love, fate and betrayal has withstood the test of time
Leonard Bernstein's majestic score, in particular, is undiminished, shifting fluidly between blasts of syncopated brass fueled by testosterone and rage, and some of the most achingly beautiful expressions of love ever sung.

Why see West Side Story?
West Side Story is on tour and hits the in , ,
More than fifty years ago, a show about New York City changed musical theatre forever. Now, it's coming home to make history once again.
From the first notes to the final breath, West Side Story is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Arthur Laurents' book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever.
The score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim -a collection of standards that includes 'Tonight,' 'America,' 'Maria,' 'I Feel Pretty' and 'Somewhere' - is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. And the extraordinary, Tony-winning choreography by Jerome Robbins completely changed the language of Broadway dance.

One of the Best

OUTSTANDING and true to the Original
I am confused by all of these uneducated opinions I am reading
on this site from others who saw the show. The show is VERY
true to the original in so many aspects. The choreography is
practically the exact same as it was when the show opened at the
Winter Garden theatre in NYC in the 50's. The outstanding
performers kept the amazingly difficult show going with fantastic
pace and precision of choreography and vocals alike. The
crudeness was not added. Originally, Anita was beginning to be
raped when Doc enters the room. Most people have seen the film
and that is what they remember. The film is different and songs
are in different places and sung by other characters. The ONLY
changes in this production are the addition of Spanish in less
than 5% of the show, which adds to the racial tension of the
piece, and that Anybodys sings Somewhere, which results in a
heart-breaking new moment in the show. The show is
OUTSTANDING and please don't miss it! Thrilled this amazing
show is here! ... Read more
