West Side Story is a musical written by Arthur Laurenis, Leonard Bernstein, and Stephen Sond¬ heim. The story is based loosely on Shake¬ speare's Romeo and Juliet. Two teenage gangs, the "American" Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks (newcomers), struggle for control of their west side neighborhood. At a dance at a gym, Jet Tony falls in love with a Shark's sister, Maria. -.e

They know they can't be together because of the gang's war, but that doesn't stop them. Their love for one another and the gang rivalries that exist lead to a tragic endingfor many of the play's characters.
