⭐ RUMOUR – WEST SIDE STORY – LONDON REVIVAL PLANNED ⭐
A major London revival of the iconic musical WEST SIDE STORY is being planned, it has been rumoured.
The new revival is reportedly being headed by an award-winning director, with the production set to appear next year.
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.
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.
WEST SIDE STORY is based on a conception of Jerome Robbins, with a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Berstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
I’ve been waiting for this one, for such a long time… Fingers crossed! ! !
