Cool‚ man! The stunning‚ groundbreaking‚ and legendary musical that set the bar for all musical theater!

Tony and Maria, Leonard Bernstein’s 20th-century incarnation of Romeo and Juliet,
struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice. Our production of West Side Story gets a hip, urban look, and features the original Jerome Robbins choreography in one of the most innovative, heart-wrenching and relevant musicals of our time.

From the first notes to the final breath, WEST SIDE STORY is one of the greatest love stories of all timeThe score is a musical masterpiece by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim—songs that have become part of our very culture.
