Don't miss this local production of an iconic musical

With an instantly recognisable score from the opening notes, every song is a classic, every dance move iconic.  Over the year West Side Story has been staged multiple times on Broadway and around the world.  Its universal appeal is captured in Tony and Maria's tragic love story set in Manhattan's West Side of the 1950s, but with themes that resonate through the decades and remain as emotional and engaging as ever.  Don't miss your chance to enjoy this local production of a Broadway masterpiece. 

A Musical Theatre Classic

In 1957, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, and Jerome Robbins solidified their musical theatre legend status when the dazzling West Side Story landed on Broadway. Fusing mounting tensions of artfully danced street warfare and an arresting Rome-and-Juliet-esque romance, the all-singing, all-dancing spectacular went on to become one of the greatest musicals ever to grace the Great White Way and the world over.

Called a 'sneaker ballet' thanks to the original sneaker-and-jeans-clad cast, a creative decision used to illicit the gritty realism of New York, West Side Story chronicles the warfare between two rival gangs - the Sharks (white Americans) and the Jets (Puerto Rican Americans). When two young associates of each gang meet and fall in love, they inflame the tensions to boiling point. Battling bloodshed and condemnation, the young lovers are determined to be together, although tragedy waits around every street corner.
