West Side Story was the tenth mainstage musical produced by Milwaukee Rep, September 17 - October 27, 2019 in the Quadracci Powerhouse Theater. Directed by Mark Clements, it became the best-selling musical in the company's history. West Side Story is based on a conception of Jerome Robbins, with a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Set in 1950s New York City, West Side Story is about two rival gangs struggling for control of their neighborhood. When Tony falls for Maria, the star-crossed lovers find themselves wrenched between their worlds. The beloved musical features unforgettable songs like "Maria," "Tonight," "I Feel Pretty" and "America."
