WEST SIDE STORY at The Theatre at Solaire

The international touring company of the beloved classic musical “West Side Story,” which features music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and book by Arthur Laurents, will come to The Theatre at Solaire (Aseana Avenue, Solaire Resort and Casino) on August 10-27.

In “West Side Story,” which is packed with countless memorable musical numbers such as “America,” “Maria,” “One Hand, One Heart,” “I Feel Pretty,” and “Somewhere,” William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is transported to modern-day New York City as two young, idealistic lovers find themselves caught between two warring street gangs of different ethnic groups, the Jets and the Sharks.

For the Manila run of “West Side Story,” choreographer Joey McKneely, a former student of Jerome Robbins, will recreate the original choreography of the Broadway production. Renowned conductor Donald Chan, who was a former student of Leonard Bernstein, will lead a 20-piece orchestra.

The show stars Kevin Hack (Tony) and Jenna Burns (Maria).
