Musical

The Original Broadway Classic

One of the greatest musicals of all time, West Side Story returns to Sadler's Wells this summer after a sell-out season in 2008 during its 50th anniversary year.

With groundbreaking choreography by the legendary Jerome Robbins, book by Arthur Laurents, an unforgettable score by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, West Side Story changed the face of musical theatre forever. Based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and packed with unforgettable songs including Maria, Tonight, Somewhere, America and I Feel Pretty, West Side Story has been described as "a masterpiece of musical theatre"(Daily Mail) and "a musical landmark"(The Guardian).

Joey McKneely's vibrant stage production of this classic dance musical features Robbins' original choreography, as fresh as it has ever been, and an excellent cast renowned for their stunning energy and technical brilliance. Celebrated conductor and composer Donald Chan leads the live orchestra to play Bernstein's iconic score.

Notes From James:

Growing up West Side Story was one of my favorite movies. Still is in fact. Now imagine my surprise when I finally got to see it on Broadway four years ago. Now was it the greatest thing I've ever seen? No. However it did have Karen Olivo as Anita so that more than made up for it. Which she won a Tony Award for by the way. Cut to four years later and the show is set to return to the West End for the first time since it's sell out run in 2008. The show is set to begin performances on August 7 and run thru September. Pretty short run. Although if reviews are good I would not be surprised if it extends. We shall see. Now for those of you want tickets to see West Side Story you have come to the right place. Good seats are now available for all performances. Get your tickets to see West Side Story at the Sadlers Wells Theatre. It is theatre at it's best.
