West Side Story on Broadway a Must See!

The classic American musical "West Side Story" returns to Broadway and it's a show that shouldn't be missed!

The story of Romeo and Juliet is transported to the turbulent streets of New York City in the 1950s. Star-crossed lovers are caught between rival street gangs. Directed by librettist Arthur Laurents, the show features Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's legendary score.


2009 Tony Award Winner! West Side Story is the winner of Best Featured Actress in a Musical, Karen Olivio who as Anita steals the show. Who can forget the great movie musical with Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno. One of my all time favorite movies.
Well this show is selling unbelievably well which surprises me a bit since it opened to mixed reviews, but word of mouth is great and the show should stick around for a few years.
Call Applause now to get your tickets at a great best.

Applause has tickets for this show and all Broadway shows(including London productions) that can be purchased by calling a sales expert live at 800-451-9930. Ask for the Below Face Value Deals for most Broadway shows this Summer!!

Tonight, Tonight, See West Side Story on Broadway

My favorite movie growing up was West Side Story. Every time it would come on I would plop myself in front of the Television (black & White) and watch and sing along. I think I knew every word back then. Well my favorite movie is now on Broadway at the Palace Theatre playing to sold out audiences nightly and I couldn't be happier. West Side Story is a modern version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. It takes place in New York City and tells of the clash over ethnic loyalty and and intense love for one another between Maria who is involved with the Puerto Rican Sharks against Tony who is involved with the Anglo Jets (both street gangs).With a classic score by Leonard Bernstien and Stephen Sondheim and directed by Arthur Larents this remake of West Side Story is sure to be a hit and a show you do not want to miss. For the best Seats at the Best Prices Call Applause.

Cast Announced For The Revival Of West Side Story



After much speculation and rumors complete casting was announced today for the upcoming revival of West Side Story. The cast of this landmark musical will feature an array of Broadway veterans as well as a few newcomers. Playing the star crossed lovers Tony and Maria are Matt Cavenaugh(A Catered Affair,Grey Gardens,Urban Cowboy)and 21 year old Broadway newcomer and acclaimed opera singer from Buenos Aires Josefina Scaglione. Rounding out the cast is one of my favorites Karen Olivo (In The Heights) as Anita. Portraying the parts of rival gang leaders Riff and Bernardo are Cody Green and George Akram. It has been almost 30 years since the last revival and I can't wait to see this one. Expect West Side Story to be a big contender come Tony time.

Get Tickets To See West Side Story On Broadway Thru Applause Theatre Service


The new Broadway production of West Side Story, directed by Arthur Laurents, will begin previews Feb. 23, 2009, at the Palace Theatre(current home to Legally Blonde)According to producer Kevin McCollum,(Tony Award winning producer of Rent, Avenue Q, and In The Heights)this new production will "introduce the unprecedented element of selectively weaving Spanish throughout both the book and songs." West Side Story librettist Arthur Laurents who was recently lauded for his highly successful production of Gypsy recently stated that,"This show will be radically different from any other production of West Side Story ever done. The musical theatre and cultural conventions of 1957 made it next to impossible for the characters to have authenticity. Every member of both gangs was always a potential killer even then. Now they actually will be. Only Tony and Maria try to live in a different world." Expect this new production of this landmark musical to be one of the most highly anticipated of the season. I can't wait!
