WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
More than fifty years ago one musical changed theater forever. Now it's back on Broadway mesmerizing audiences once again. From the first note to the final breath, West Side Story soars as the greatest love story of all time. Directed by its two-time Tony® Award-winning librettist Arthur Laurents, West Side Story remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The new Broadway cast album of West Side Story recently won the 2010 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Show Album. The Bernstein and Sondheim score is considered to be one of Broadway's finest and features such classics of the American musical theatre as "Something's Coming," "Tonight," "America," "I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere."

Boston June 2011
This production was beautiful, the dancers were increadable. The only thing that took away from the over all preformance was the large amount of dialog done in Spanish, I get that the show is about Puerto Ricans, and a little bit is not bad. I know the show and am familiar with what is going on, but for those who dont know the show and dont speak spanish, they would have missed large amounts of the plot with this being done.

RE:Saw it on Broadway
The Broadway production was well sung and I would guess that the tour will cut the Spanish language sections out..a wise move. I am conversant in Spanish and could not understand parts of the show. The Jets were like Gap kids but the great score is always thrilling.
