West Side Story

West Side Story is based on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet but takes place in New York in the 1950s. Like Romeo and Juliet, Maria and Tony face the same challenges of not being able toe be with each other based on their ethnic differences. For the broad way production Jerome Robbins choreographed and ran for 732 performances. There are some really great dance scenes and beautiful performances.
