Starring Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer
Every Saturday this Summer, enjoy all the great musicals that made it from Broadway to the BIG SCREEN (and sometimes back again).
This week it's WEST SIDE STORY!
West Side Story is a modern musical representation of the classic story "Romeo and Juliet". Two youngsters from rival New York City gangs (the Jets and the Sharks) fall in love, but tensions between their respective friends build toward tragedy. It’s a dazzling musical and an all too common tale of ethnic gangs and gang violence set to music and dance.
Special thanks to MeTV Music 103.1 FM for sponsoring this summer program!
