West Side Story exploded onto Broadway in 1957 in a sensational storm of exuberant dance and wistful romance. It was a phenomenon that never faded, “an incandescent piece of work” (The New York Times). In 2025, this musical masterpiece will come to the Ohio Theatre in an electrifying, larger-than-life staging in a collaboration with Opera Columbus, CAPA, Columbus Symphony and BalletMet. Experience the greatest score ever written, dynamic dance numbers that soar through the open air, and a love story for the ages. It’s war on New York’s Upper West Side, and the Jets and the Sharks are locked in a fierce turf battle. But as the two teen gangs hurtle down a dangerous path, Tony and Maria cross enemy lines, dreaming of a time and place where they can love freely. Leonard Bernstein’s score is punctuated with hits: ‘America’, ‘Tonight’, ‘Maria’, ‘I Feel Pretty’, and the enduring ‘Somewhere’.
