Casa Mañana will open its 2025–26 Broadway Season with one of the most iconic musicals of all time, WEST SIDE STORY, running November 1–9, 2025. The production reimagines Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet amid the rivalries of 1950s New York City and features Leonard Bernstein’s legendary score and Stephen Sondheim’s unforgettable lyrics.
About the Production
West Side Story follows Tony and Maria, two young lovers caught between the feuding Jets and Sharks. The timeless musical blends breathtaking dance, emotional storytelling, and an unforgettable score that continues to resonate nearly 70 years after its Broadway premiere.
The production stars Alex Benoit (The Notebook on Broadway) as Tony, Addie Morales (Les Misérables National Tour) as Maria, Gaby Albo (Six National Tour) as Anita, Yurel Echezarreta (Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story) as Bernardo, and RJ Higton (The Outsiders Original Broadway Cast) as Riff.
The ensemble includes Sydney Alie, Jack Bianchi, Henry Cawood, Bennett Cooper, Alyssa Evans, Julia Fleckenstein, Nick Nazarro, David Postlewate, Caleb Sporrer, Payton Zemaitis, Amber Marie Flores, Alex Haquia, Paulo Hernandez-Farella, Abriela Rodriguez, Oscar Antonio Rodriguez, Rodolfo Santamarina, Daniel Vanegas, Sofi Warren, David Coffee, Bob Reed, and Zach Sutton.
