West Side Story has a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Bernstein, and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, bringing Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to the streets of 1950s New York where Tony and Maria find themselves drawn to each other despite the tensions between two warring gangs, the Jets and the Sharks. Music Theater Works' production is directed by Sasha Gerritson, choreographed by Clayton Cross and Isa Ramirez, and music directed by Linda Madonia, with a 22-piece orchestra and Spanish supertitles at all performances. The cast features Luke Nowakowski as Tony, Isabella Ruano as Maria, Connor Ripperger as Riff, Pauleth Jauregui as Anita, and Emmanuel Ramirez as Bernardo, among many others.
