5th Avenue Theatre Adds 2 West Side Story Performances

Due to overwhelming demand for West Side Story tickets, The 5th Avenue Theatre has added two performances at the end of the run.  The show now runs from May 26th through June 19th, with the added performances on June 18th at 7:30 PM and June 19th at 7:30 PM.

A modern retelling of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story "maps the collision course of two feuding New York City street gangs – the Jets and the Sharks – and the young lovers caught in the crossfire. Winner of two Tony Awards and 10 Academy Awards, West Side Story is an American theater masterpiece, with explosive dancing and some of the most electrifying music ever written for the Broadway stage, including 'Maria,' 'Tonight' and 'Somewhere,'" state press notes. 

West Side Story features music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Arthur Laurents.

The 5th Avenue Theatre is located at 1308 5th Avenue in Downtown Seattle.  Tickets are $20 - $75.  Visit www.5thavenue.org for more information.
