West Side Story, called by many the “true American musical and love story,” will be staged by Footlite Musicals’ Young Adults Production when the theater opens its 60th season Friday.
From the first notes of its vibrant score to the last, the landmark Broadway musical is one of the theatre’s finest accomplishments as Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” is transported to 1950s New York City, where two idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the American Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks.
The couple’s struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice unfolds in the heart-wrenching drama presented by 18- to 25-year-old actors.
Production dates are July 10-12, 16-19 and 23-26 at 1847 N. Alabama St. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets, $15 for youths 17 and under, $23 for adults, can be reserved by visiting WestSideStoryIndy.com or calling (800) 838-3006. Tickets for the Thursday productions and this Sunday’s show are $10.
