This brand-new revival of West Side Story is helmed by three of the most daring theater-makers of our time - director Ivo van Hove, choreographer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker and designer Jan Versweyveld - and is produced by EGOT winner Scott Rudin.
West Side Story - based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet - features star-crossed lovers Maria, a Puerto Rican immigrant and Tony, a young Italian-American - both from the gang-ridden streets of 1950’s Manhattan. The two teens from bitter-enemy gangs - the Sharks and the Jets - meet and fall in love at a gym dance. As tensions rise between the two gangs, racism and bigotry harbored by both sides end in tragic, ultimately fatal consequences for Tony and Maria.
