Leonard Bernstein/Arthur Laurents and Stephen Sondheim

Tony and Maria, Leonard Bernstein’s 20th-century incarnation of Romeo and Juliet, struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice. Our production of West Side Story gets a hip, urban look, and features the original Jerome Robbins choreography in one of the most innovative, heart-wrenching and relevant musicals of our time.

West Side Story is a co-production with Houston Grand Opera and Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Presented in English with projected English text.

Two hours and 40 minutes
