WEST SIDE STORY Based on a conception of Jerome Robbins
Book by Arthur Laurents
Music by Leonard Bernstein
Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Entire original production directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins
Originally produced on Broadway by Robert E. Griffith & Harold Prince by arrangement with Roger L. Stevens
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with JOSEF WEINBERGER LIMITED on behalf of MUSIC THEATRE INTERNATIONALof NEW YORK.
Based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story tells the tale of rival street gangs, the Jets and the Sharks. Their battle for control of the streets is hijacked when Maria, the sister of the Sharks' leader falls in love with Tony, a key member of the Jets.
They are determined to be together despite opposition from both sides. Unfortunately, this has tragic consequences for all concerned.
Set against the backdrop of the Brighton's Mods and Rockers era of the 1960's, West Side Story is tense and exhilarating but ultimately heart-breaking.
