The No.1 classical musical love story heads back to Birmingham as Stage Experience 2017 presents West Side Story. Following on from the record breaking production of Grease in 2016 and 42nd Street in 2015, the New Alexandra Theatre annual Stage Experience production showcases the outstanding talents of West Midlands’ young performers in a major production supported by a professional creative team.
Inspired by the greatest love story of all time, West Side Story transports the classic Shakespeare tale of Romeo and Juliet into the 1950s back streets of New York during a fierce turf war. Two young lovers Tony and Maria, from rival gangs The Sharks and The Jets, meet, fall in love and begin their tragic fight for happiness in a world of hate and survival. This heart-wrenching tale will take you on an emotional rollercoaster with a story that is still relevant today.
Regarded as one of the best musicals ever written with a powerful book by Arthur Laurents. Its score features many of legendary composer Leonard Bernstein’s and lyricist Stephen Sondheim’s most famous compositions, including Maria, America, Somewhere, I Feel Pretty and Tonight.
