West Side Story International Tour Seeking Lighting Technicians

One of the most successful stage plays of all time, West Side Story, is finally back in the award-winning production, the only one in the world to feature Jerome Robbins' original choreography. With its Broadway premiere in 1957, West Side Story redefined an entire genre in terms of music and dance. The original film adaptation, which won ten Oscars, made the musical known to an audience of millions.
