ABOUT
“West Side Story” is a timeless musical that transports audiences to the streets of 1950s New York City, where two rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, battle for control of their turf. Amidst the tension and violence, Tony, a former member of the Jets, falls in love with Maria, the sister of the Sharks’ leader, Bernardo. Their forbidden love story unfolds against the backdrop of prejudice, bigotry, and societal divisions.

With its unforgettable characters and powerful storytelling, “West Side Story” continues to captivate audiences around the world with its timeless message of hope and reconciliation.
