About This Event

West Side Story bursts with violent, sensual rhythms and big-hearted melodies. The music ranges from the touching innocence of 鈥業 feel pretty鈥� and 鈥楾onight鈥� to the tension-fuelled 鈥楧ance at the Gym鈥� in conveying the trials of the ill-fated lovers, Tony and Maria, as they attempt to resolve the deep-rooted animosity between two warring communities on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

This rare performance of the theatre score (authorised concert version) features a top-flight cast, joined by an ensemble of students from leading London theatre schools.
