West Side Story
With passion, love, feuding, and violence rolled into one, it's
little surprise audiences worldwide have been won over by the plot
of West Side Story, writes Tamzin Hindmarch
IT WAS described as a modern-day Romeo And Juliet when it
premiered half a century ago.
With a beautiful score by Bernstein, and Sondheim's wonderful
lyrics, the result is a show that appeals to everyone.
Having already enjoyed sell-out runs in Paris, Tokyo, and
Beijing, the 50th anniversary production will arrive in Hanley later
this month.
