WEST SIDE STORY Plays Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts, Now thru 6/27

Arthur Laurents' book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. You will find yourself singing "When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way..." all the way home, and "I feel pretty, oh, so pretty..." will dance through your head and bring a smile to your lips.
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is transported to modern-day New York City, as two young, idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the "American" Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one of the most innovative and heart-wrenching musical dramas of our time - as relevant today as it was when it premiered on Broadway in 1957.
