Heights Youth Theatre presents West Side Story
7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
For most people, the first things that come to mind when thinking of West Side Story are the dancing and the songs. First performed in 1957, West Side Story broke many of Broadway’s expectations and rules about what could be portrayed on the stage. There was a palpable shift from musical comedy to musical theater. Inspired by Romeo and Juliet, the new musical blurred the lines between opera and pop, and reflected on the stage, one of the gang and ethnic conflicts of its time. Unfortunately, we still live in a society that tends to fear difference. At the center of it all is the ability to highlight the views, hopes and fears of teens! Conceived by Jerome Robbins, West Side Story had more dancing than any other musical before it. Add to that, the considerable talents of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim on music and Arthur Laurents on script. Yet, those in power at the time said that it could never happen. It was too dark, too tragic, too timely, too hard. This is far from High School Musical! We look forward to sharing our version of West Side Story!
