West Side Story Tickets
West Side Story Broadway Tickets
Get ready to witness one of the classic American musicals when you purchase West Side Story tickets at TicketSmarter. Originally produced in 1957, West Side Story tells the story of two lovers, Tony and Maria, who stand on opposite sides of a conflict between two local gangs. The show, which is essentially a modern-day retelling of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, features music by and lyrics by theatre giants Leonard Bernstein and Steven Sondheim, respectively. Bernstein is known for a number of classical and musical theater works, including the score for On The Town, Sondheim has written many classic musical theatre shows, including Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, Merrily We Roll Along and Gypsy among many others.
West Side Story tickets were first available on Broadway in 1957 after trial runs in Washington, DC and Philadelphia the same year. Thanks in part to standout songs such as “I Feel Pretty,” “Maria,” and “Gee, Officer Krupke,” the first run of the show was nominated for six Tony Awards, eventually winning two.
The show saw an uptick in popularity in 2020, as it was revived on Broadway with a gritty, cutting-edge production that featured video screens and which dropped some classic numbers in the name of realism. Filming for a film version of a more classic interpretation of West Side Story, which was directed by Steven Spielberg, also commenced in 2020. Due to the timeless nature of this story about star-crossed lovers, West Side Story is sure to remain a relevant piece of pop culture for years to come.
