See the classic American musical West Side Story in a groundbreaking new production directed by its legendary librettist, Tony Award winner Arthur Laurents. This strictly limited pre-Broadway premiere will run from December 15 through January 17, 2009 at the National Theater. WEST SIDE STORY will open in New York City on a date to be announced in March 2009 with preview performances beginning on Monday, February 23, 2009 at a Nederlander Theatre to be announced. West Side Story is the story of two star-crossed lovers, Tony and Maria, who find themselves caught between the rival street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds, the "Jets" and the "Sharks." Their struggle to exist together in a world of violence, hate and prejudice on the turbulent streets of the Upper West Side in 1950s New York City is one of the most heart-breaking musical masterpieces of our time.
