Enjoy the 1961 movie classic West Side Story all over again, but with an added twist: an audience sing-along!  Mics won’t be provided but you can sing as loud, as soft or not at all, from the comfort of your seat! How fun is that? 

This musical sets the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet against the backdrop of the rivalry of two street gangs, the Sharks and the Jets, in New York of the 1950s. A young woman who is sister to the Sharks leader has her first taste of love with the former head of the Jets.
