With groundbreaking choreography by the legendary Jerome Robbins, book by Arthur Laurents, an unforgettable score by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, WEST SIDE STORY changed the face of musical theatre forever.
Based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and packed with memorable songs such as Maria, Tonight, Somewhere, America and I Feel Pretty, WEST SIDE STORY has been described as "a masterpiece of musical theatre" (Daily Mail) and "a musical landmark" (The Guardian).
The movie version went on to win an incredible 10 Academy Awards (including Best Picture) and further cemented the reputation of this undoubted masterpiece.
Now in 2008, 50 years after the show made its London debut, Joey McKneely's vibrant new stage production of the classic dance musical comes to London after wild critical acclaim in Tokyo, Paris and Beijing.
