WEST SIDE STORY
This production is ENTHRALLING, ELECTRIC and taken to a level of PURE PHYSICAL EXHILARATION. It's hard not to melt into sweet agony.

West Side Story is on tour and hits the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh, PA, Ended 23 May 2011.
More than fifty years ago, a show about New York City changed musical theatre forever. Now, it's coming home to make history once again.
From the first notes to the final breath, West Side Story is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Arthur Laurents' book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever.
The score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim -a collection of standards that includes 'Tonight,' 'America,' 'Maria,' 'I Feel Pretty' and 'Somewhere' - is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. And the extraordinary, Tony-winning choreography by Jerome Robbins completely changed the language of Broadway dance.
This groundbreaking new production, directed by the legendary Mr. Laurents, will offer a bold new design that builds on the show's raw power and emotion to create a fresh experience unlike any that came before it. Don't miss this thrilling presentation of a matchless work of art.
