WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The landmark musical West Side Story launches a new national tour, based on the hit Broadway revival.
The show transports Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to the turbulent streets of the Upper West Side in 1950's New York City. Two star-crossed lovers, Tony and Maria, find themselves caught between the rival street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds, the "Jets" and the "Sharks."
