West Side Story is described by Paper Mill as “the stunning, groundbreaking and legendary musical that set the bar for all musical theatre. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is transported to 1950s New York City as two young idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the Jets and the Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one of the most innovative, heart-wrenching and relevant musical dramas of our time.”

Woolard, scenic coordination by Kelly Tighe, costume coordination by Dana Burkart, sound design by Randy Hansen, hair, wig and make-up design by Amanda Miller and casting by Telsey + Company.
