WEST SIDE STORY - Musical, January 21- February 6, 2005, Rated (PG-13)
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is transported to 1950's New York City, as two young idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the American Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one the most innovative, heart-wrenching and relevant musical dramas of our time.
