Featuring the inimitable music of Leonard Bernstein, West Side Story tells the story of two rival teenage gangs who fight for control of New York’s West Side. When a member of one gang falls in love with the sister of a rival gang member, a rumble ensues. In this twentieth-century Romeo and Juliet, these two young lovers must find a way to overcome their differences, and the animosity of their communities, to build their life together.
