Relive the passion, music, and dancing of West Side Story, one of the most memorable musicals of all time. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is transported to New York City in this Tony Award-winning musical on the stage at Starlight August 20-25.
Tony and Maria find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the “American” Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is enhanced by the iconic music of Leonard Bernstein and lyrics of Stephen Sondheim.
This timeless tale features the classic songs “Tonight,” “America,” “Maria,” and more.
