UN DÍA COMO HOY… WEST SIDE STORY llega a Broadway

Era 26 de septiembre de 1957 cuando el Winter Garden Theater de Broadway acogía el nuevo musical WEST SIDE STORY, con música de Leonard Bernstein, letras del entonces novato Stephen Sondheim, libreto de Arthur Laurents y coreografías de Jerome Robbins. Nadie sabía en aquel momento que lo que estaban viviendo era un acontecimiento que marcaría la historia de Broadway para siempre: El nacimiento de uno de los más grandes clásicos del Teatro Musical.

Somerset's Farmfest Launches for 2020 with First Acts

Following last year's jubilant return from a one-year hiatus, Farmfest is back once again to challenge the festival heavyweights with a breath-taking mix of acts included in its first line-up announcement. As well as a genre-defying musical menu, the original pocket-size festival remains fiercely committed to affordability with weekend tickets currently just £85. Set to Bruton's sumptuous countryside backdrop, still sponsor-free and capped at 5000 people (preserving its magically intimate atmosphere), all of the key ingredients remain intact for the music lover's choice festival. From early morning workouts to little ones' workshops, brilliantly blended beats to riotous jumbles of jazz and brass-based bonanzas, comedy and poetry – or just a touch of the people's spirited madness. As night falls DJ's take over and keeps the party going long into the night. Farmfest has it all.
