For the 6th time since the beginning of the 80s, West Side Story, the Berstein-Sondheim Laurents masterpiece, was back in Paris for a limited run as part of a French tour before going to Sydney in April. In sync with the release of the Bradley Cooper biopic Maestro, it is great that younger generations are able to get a look at the real original thing.

Maria, Tonight, Somewhere, America – nur wenige Töne der weltbekannten Kompositionen reichen aus, um die packenden Bild- und Gefühlswelten der West Side Story wachzurufen, und sie nie mehr zu vergessen. Vom 30. Januar bis 4. Februar 2024 macht der Klassiker in einer mitreissenden Neuinszenierung Halt im Musical Theater Basel.
