West Side Story at Signature Theatre

West Side Story takes the most famous romantic drama of all time, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and sets it loose on the streets of 1950s New York. This Signature Theatre production finds the ill-fated courtship of teen lovers Tony and Maria playing out against the fierce racial rivalry between street gangs the Sharks and the Jets, in a truly timeless story of passion and prejudice. The famed film adaptation won 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and it has enjoyed many Broadway revivals, as recently as 2009. Written by the dream creative team of Leonard Bernstein, Arthur Laurents and Stephen Sondheim, West Side Story's legendary jazz, Latin and classical-inspired score features the treasured songs "Something's Coming," "Tonight," "I Feel Pretty" and "America."
