]]> West Side Story is the classic American love story musical, about forbidden love between the member of one rival New York street gangs  and the sister of another.  The two rival gangs, the Sharks and the Jets, each coming from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, fight for their turf during the 1950s, in the rough streets of Hells Kitchen.

With the familiar musical score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim and songs such as "America," "Maria," and "I Feel Pretty", adds to the story on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

The production coming to the National Theater in Washington, DC starting December 15th should be a wonderful production of song and dance.

“America”, From the film West Side Story.
