Made: 1992

Record Number: HFC:2021:094

West Side Story is a musical by Laurents, Bernstein and Sondheim set in the mid 1950s in New York City's Upper West Side. Inspired by Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet, it follows the unfolding rivalry between two teenage street gangs, the Jets and the Sharks. The original 1957 production of the musical was Sondheim's Broadway debut. Running for 732 performances before touring, the production was nominated for six Tony Awards including Best Musical in 1958. The musical's London production ran for even longer before it was eventually adapted into film in 1961. This photograph captures a scene from the T.A.O.D.S production of the musical at City Hall in 1992.
