“I am thankful to Theater By The Sea for doing this classic justice and reminding me why WEST SIDE STORY never gets old!”
- EDGE PROVIDENCE

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 filled with hate, violence and prejudice is one of this country’s 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 greatest love stories of all time.

RUNNING TIME: Approximately 2 hrs 20 min (includes intermission)
CONTENT ADVISORY: Contains harsh language and violence. May not be suitable for all audiences.

“A powerful and poignant presentation with outstanding acting, singing and dancing … Who could ask for anything more in this gut wrenching, magnificent production at this historic theatre!”
- THEATER MIRROR
 
“The current production at Theatre by the Sea is vibrant with some stunning dancing and exceptional singers!”
- LIVE THEATRE IN RI
 
“This is a solid production …  with lots of technical bells and whistles, solid acting from a huge cast, and tight choreography!”
- LAW AND ORDER PARTY
