It’s 1957 and two rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, are prowling the streets of Manhattan’s West Side. When Tony falls for Maria, the sister of a rival gang member, a rumble is planned. Like Romeo and Juliet they’re caught in an ages-long feud with no escape, even as they pledge their love for each other. Through the genius of Bernstein and Sondheim, incomparable hits like “Maria,” “Tonight,” “Cool” and “I Feel Pretty” are merged with the greatest love story ever told in this larger-than-life musical.
