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 for ever.
Based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and packed with unforgettable songs including "Maria," "Tonight," "Somewhere," "America," and "I Feel Pretty," West Side Story has been described as "a masterpiece of musical theatre" (The Daily Mail) and "a musical landmark" (The Guardian).
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.
