“We are delighted to bring yet another iconic Broadway musical 'West Side Story' to India for the very first time. This carries forward our vision of showcasing the best of India to the world and bringing the best of the world to India. At the heart of this theatrical is the emotion of love - a force that transcends boundaries and binds cultures.

The plot of "West Side Story" centres on two young lovers named Tony and Maria who are caught up in dramatic events that take place on the streets of 1950s New York.
“Driven by ancient feuds, electric rhythms, a cinematic period setting and the tragic obstacles of destiny, this is a timeless tale that is bound to enthral,” said the organisers in its description of the theatrical which was originally staged in 1957 in Washington, DC.
Superhit songs including "Maria," "Tonight," "Somewhere," and "America" will be featured in the extravaganza, which is being presented by a group of 34 performers and a live orchestra made up of 20 exceptional musicians.
