Sing-a-long with Maria and Tony on the streets and rooftops of New York, as true love blooms.
“West Side Story is nothing short of a cinematic masterpiece.”- Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
Their rival neighborhood gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, will never accept the lovers’ star-crossed union, and trouble (as well as a lot of singing and dancing) ensues.
Created by the musical dream team of Leonard Bernstein, Arthur Laurents, Jerome Robbins and Stephen Sondheim, and starring Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, George Chakiris, and the electrifying Rita Moreno, this legendary 1961 film won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Music Score, Best Supporting Actress (Rita Moreno), and Best Supporting Actor (George Chakiris), inspired countless generations of musical fanatics and brought Shakespeare’s classic tale of teenage romance to vibrant life … only here, instead of Verona, the setting is 1950s New York City, and as always, the course of true love never, ever runs smoothly.
A jazzy, snazzy, high energy classic that almost leaps off the screen (when it’s not breaking your heart), West Side Story endures as one of the greatest musicals in Hollywood history.
