Description
ABOUT PERFORMANCE
The story inspired by Shakespeare's immortal tragedy Romeo and Juliet, the music of the genius composer Leonard Bernstein, and the challenging dance numbers rank West Side Story among the top pieces of musical theatre. The love affair of young lovers – American Tony and Puerto Rican Maria – is set against the background of the violent struggle of the domestic Jets and the Puerto Rican sharks for domination of the New York streets. Is it possible for their fateful love to survive in a world of prejudice, hatred and violence? The legendary West Side Story, full of famous hits such as "America", "Maria" and "I Feel Pretty", has, over its sixty years of existence, captivated millions of viewers all over the world.
