Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” is reimagined in 1950s New York City, where two young lovers are caught between rival street groups, the Jets and the Sharks. With its iconic music, powerful storytelling, and decades-long legacy, “West Side Story” remains one of Broadway’s most enduring and beloved musicals, celebrating love, community, and the strength of human connection.
