Come join us as we see West Side Story, a classic, must-see Broadway show. We'll be seated in the Orchestra section: classy, eh?
West Side Story made a huge splash when it debuted on Broadway 50 years ago. Now ... it's back with great reviews, Tony nominations galore &, of course, all its unforgettable songs: "Tonight,” “America,” “Maria,” “I Feel Pretty” and “Somewhere.”
The show is set in New York in the mid-1950s and explores the rivalry between two teenage gangs of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The young protagonist, Tony, who belongs to the American gang, falls in love with Maria, the sister of the rival Puerto Rican gang's leader.
Reviews
“A ROUGHED-UP AND GORGEOUS NEW REVIVAL. IT SOARS. Seeing the huge cast in Robbins’ spectacular dances and hearing Bernstein’s majestic score played by a full orchestra is SHEER EXCITEMENT. THIS IS BROADWAY IN VERY FINE FORM: STANDING UP TO FACE DARKNESS HEAD ON, AND UNAFRAID TO BE A THING OF BEAUTY.” --Time Out
"This FRESH, BOLD production is SO EXCITING IT MAKES YOU ACHE WITH PLEASURE. IT’S BOTH AIRBORNE and TRANSCENDENT.” --New Yorker
Do you live in New York City -- with tons of culture right in your own backyard -- but see Superman Returns and other blockbusters, stuff you could see anywhere? Culture for the Non-Cultured participates in 2-3 cultural activities per month -- including theater, art galleries, museums, walking tours, aquariums, and historical homes. Each event brings in 20-60 people. Usually, we eat afterwards ... because nothing builds community like sitting around a table full of calories! **It is policy that there are no refunds for events, unless they are postponed or cancelled, so make sure you can come to the event before you pay ...**
