Little Country Theatre will kick off this semester’s theatre season with “West Side Story,” a musical by Leonard Bernstein, Arthur Laurents and Stephen Sondheim.
“West Side Story,” a Tony Award winning musical, is considered a classic that forever changed the American musical and will highlight Little Country Theatre’s season with energetic dance, unforgettable lyrics and amazing story. The musical successfully broke a barrier as it dealt with violence, youth gangs and racial prejudice. It features some of Broadway's most beloved music, including “Somewhere,” “One Hand, One Heart,” “Tonight,” “America” and “Maria.”
The production will run from Feb. 25 until March 1 in Festival Concert Hall. The show begins at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
