A timeless tale of love and rivalry, WEST SIDE STORY brings Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet to the streets of 1950s New York. Caught between the tensions of two warring gangs—the Jets and the Sharks—Tony and Maria find themselves drawn to each other despite the violence that surrounds them. Featuring iconic songs like “Tonight,” “America,” and “Somewhere,” WEST SIDE STORY remains one of the most powerful and enduring musicals of all time. All performances include Spanish supertitles
