THEATRE + COMEDY

More than fifty years ago, a show about New York City changed musical theater forever. Now, it’s come home to make history once again. Broadway at the Hobby Center presents West Side Story, January 12 through January 23, in the Hobby Center - Sarofim Hall.

From the first notes to the final breath, West Side Story is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Arthur Laurents’ book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim — a collection of standards that includes “Tonight,” “America,” “Maria,” “I Feel Pretty” and “Somewhere” — is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. And the extraordinary, Tony®-winning choreography by Jerome Robbins completely changed the language of Broadway dance.

This groundbreaking new production, directed by the legendary Mr. Laurents, offers a bold new design that builds on the show’s raw power and emotion to create a fresh experience unlike any that came before it.

Don’t miss this thrilling presentation of a matchless work of art.

“So exciting IT MAKES YOU ACHE WITH PLEASURE.” –John Lahr, The New Yorker
