About the Show:
In what director/librettist Arthur Laurents says will convey
authenticity, this version of the landmark musical will have
Spanish interwoven in the dialogue and songs and gang members
who are more thug life than thug lite.
West Side Story transposes Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to
the gang-ridden streets of Manhattan in the 1950s. Instead of
the Capulets and Montagues, we have the Puerto Rican Sharks
versus the Anglo Jets. In place of Romeo and Juliet are Tony
and Maria, two teens torn between ethnic loyalty and their intense,
abrupt love for one another. The Leonard Bernstein-Stephen Sondheim
score includes "Tonight," "Somewhere," "Maria,"
"I Have a Love" and "Something's Coming."
