East Side Story
Bernstein. Sondheim. Robbins. Arthur Laurents and Hal Prince. In 1957, before they became legends, Broadway and the world were rocked not just by a new musical but an entirely new kind of musical. Its original working title was East Side Story, based on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. This is the true story of how East became West and the incredible team who broke new ground with a 360-year-old plot, an unknown rookie lyricist, an operatic score, an interracial theme, and juvenile delinquent gangbangers dancing ballet.
