West Side Story
June 27, 2019 8:30pm
Directed by Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise | 1961
With Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno
Leonard Bernstein’s music meets Jerome Robbins’ choreography in a Romeo and Juliet tale transposed to 1950s Upper West Side New York City. Rival teenage gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, vie for street dominance, snapping their fingers through brawls and rumbles. Tension builds in more than one way, as new love forms between members of opposing sides. Natalie Wood offers a star turn as young Puerto Rican Maria, whose romance with Tony (Richard Beymer) feels as if it can soothe the uptown war. Parts spirited and heartbreaking, this visually dazzling Best Picture winner maintains its foothold as an American classic.
