West Side Story

Phoenix Theatre
100 E McDowell Road Phoenix

West Side Story's got music by Bernstein, lyrics by Sondheim, choreography by Robbins and a book by Arthur Laurents (with a little help from William Shakespeare). Never before or since has a musical had a more high-powered creative team than West Side Story, and the result was a hit of epic proportions: 10 Oscars, three Tonys and two Grammys. In West Side Story, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is transported to mid-century Manhattan where young lovers Tony and Maria are caught between warring street gangs. Their story and the songs that define them are American classics. You only need to hear numbers like "America," "I Feel Pretty" or "Maria" once and you'll never forget them.
