West Side Story, the new hit Broadway revival of the groundbreaking Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim musical, will play Hennepin Theatre Trust's Orpheum Theatre, July 12-17, 2011. This 2009 Tony-nominated and 2010 Grammy Award-winning production features a score considered to be one of Broadway's finest, with such classics of American musical theatre as "Something's Coming," "Tonight," "I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere." Tickets are on sale now. West Side Story is the culminating event of Hennepin Theatre Trust's 2010/11 Broadway Across America-Minneapolis season. For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit HennepinTheatreTrust.org or call 1.800.982.2787.

West Side Story was written by three theatrical luminaries: two-time Tony Award-winner Arthur Laurents (book) and multiple Tony and Grammy Award-winners Leonard Bernstein (music) and Stephen Sondheim (lyrics) in what was his Broadway debut. Librettist Arthur Laurents' Broadway direction will be recreated for the tour by David Saint, the Associate Director for the Broadway production. The original Jerome Robbins choreography is reproduced by Tony Award nominee Joey McKneely (The Boy from Oz, The Life). West Side Story features scenic designs by James Youmans (Gypsy), costumes by Tony Award nominee David C. Woolard (The Farnsworth Invention, The Who's Tommy), lighting by Tony Award-winner Howell Binkley (Gypsy, Jersey Boys), sound design by Tony Award nominee Dan Moses Schreier (Gypsy, A Catered Affair) and hair by Mark Adam Rampmeyer (The Farnsworth Invention).
