Experience forbidden love, fierce family loyalties, and the ruthless feud between the Sharks and the Jets through the iconic music of West Side Story! Bernstein’s legendary, Broadway-shaping musical interpretation of Romeo & Juliet with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim comes to life in three concert performances as part of a nationwide celebration of Leonard Bernstein’s 100th birthday year. Soloists for these performances will be announced in the coming months.
