WEST SIDE STORY Continues at The Media Theatre Through 6/11
"West Side Story" transports Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to New York City in the 1950's. The story takes place on the west side of Manhattan at a time when many Puerto Ricans moved to NYC.
Two young lovers, Tony and Maria, find themselves in the middle of street gangs at war-the Jets and the Sharks. The musical captures the essence of struggling to survive amidst violence and prejudice which is one the main reasons it has remained relevant to this day after premiering on Broadway in 1957.
"West Side Story" highlights youthful performers with energetic choreography and songs such as "Tonight", "Maria", "Somewhere", and "America".
At The Media Theatre, "West Side Story" is directed and choreographed by Dann Dunn, with Jennie Eisenhower as Associate Director. Christopher Ertelt is the music director.
