Plot

I have found a review about West Side Story from the stage. It was published Friday 25 July 2008 at 12:00 by Mark Shenton. To have a look at the review this is the website: http://www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/review.php/21381/west-side-story
The review talks abouts what happens in West Side Story, what type of dance they use in the production and talks a bit about Jerome Robbins who was the choreographer. Also it tells you about the production information like all of the cast names who starred in the production, the directors etc.
This is a brief description of the plot of West Side Story.
West Side Story is a modern day version which is based on the 1950s Broadway stage play, from an idea inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The love story of Romeo and Juliet is a bit like Tony and Marie in West Side Story. The feud between the houses of the Capulets and the Montagues is a bit like the teenage gangs the Shark and the Jets in West Side Story West Side Story is set in New York. There is a lot of conflict between the two gangs and it gets out of control and two murders happen in one night. Tony'sbest friend and Jet leader Riff is killed by Maria's brother, Bernardo. In anger, Tony kills Bernardo. Tony realizes his mistake (killing his love's brother) and begs for forgiveness, which, of course, Maria forgives him. They decide they have to leave the city. Chino, the Shark Maria is supposed to marry, vows to kill Tony. Maria begs Anita, Bernardo's fiancĂ©, to tell Tony she will be a little late meet him at Doc's Candy Store, but when Anita is mauled by the Jets, she angrily tells them that Maria is dead, murdered by Chino.
