West Side Story

The Winston Theatre

�When love comes so strong, there is no right or wrong.�
New York. 1955. A neighbourhood is tainted with conflict between two street gangs; the American �Jets� and the Puerto Rican �Sharks�. Neither can coexist with any form of understanding as they battle for territory and respect. But when former Jet leader Tony meets young Puerto-Rican Maria at a dance everything changes. Is their love doomed for failure? Or does true love conquer all?�
With the original production in 1957 being nominated for six Tony Awards and later being turned into an Academy Award winning film, West Side Story has cemented itself as a true classic. Combining a heart wrenching tale of passion and desire with a beautiful and unforgettable score, West Side Story is a tour de force of musical theatre.�
