About West Side Story...
Loosely based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story explores the rivalry between two teenage gangs of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The young protagonist, Tony, who belongs to the white gang falls in love with Maria, the sister of the leader of a rival gang. The dark theme, sophisticated music, extended dance scenes, and focus on social problems marked a turning point in American musical theater.
