'West Side Story' Presented by The Majestic Theatre July 24 - Aug 2!

From the first notes to the final breath, West Side Story is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Arthur Laurents’ book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. The world’s greatest love story takes to the streets in this landmark Broadway musical that is one of the theatre’s finest accomplishments.

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is transported to modern-day 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 of the most innovative, heart-wrenching and relevant musical dramas of our time.

Majestic’s West Side Story stars an ensemble cast under the Direction of Rebecca Antonakos, assisted by A. Robert Dionne, Musical Direction by Judy Hayward, and Choreography by Jen Sassak.

Join us for “West Side Story” on Fridays & Saturdays, July 24, 25, 31 & August 1 at 7pm and on Sunday August 2 at 2pm. Performances will be held at The Manchester Community Music School’s Holy Cross Hall located at 2291 Elm Street in Manchester.
