THEATER

Transplanting Romeo and Juliet to the slums of New
York City may have seemed like a crazy idea in 1957,
but WEST SIDE STORY is now recognized as one of the
greatest Broadway musicals of all time. This new
production features Jerome Robbins’ original groundbreaking choreography. June 1-June 26; tickets $29-$102.
