Synopsis:
Winner of no less than ten 1961 Academy Awards, including a special Oscar for Jerome Robbins for his choreography, West Side Story is Shakespeare`s `Romeo and Juliet` transported to the slums and racial tensions of contemporary New York. A tough and trenchant musical, its highlights include a sensational opening ballet as the twin gangs - the Jets and the Sharks - flex their musical muscles, to a sublime Stephen Sondheim-Leonard Bernstein score that includes `Maria`, `Tonight`, `Something`s Coming` and the satirical `I Like To Be In America`. The impressive cast is headed by Natalie Wood as Maria, with fiery Rita Moreno and elegant George Chakiris.
