The Apollo Players present West Side Story

West Side Story represents an ideal fusion of the elements of musical theatre and a seamless collaboration of four of the theatre world’s greatest talents: Jerome Robbins,(Director/Choreographer), Arthur Laurents (Book), Stephen Sondheim (Lyrics) and Leonard Bernstein (Music).

Based on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and packed with unforgettable songs including Maria, Tonight, Somewhere, America, One Hand One Heart and I Feel Pretty, West Side Story remains, even today, a theatrical landmark. The subsequent film version went on to win an incredible 10 Academy Awards (including Best Picture), further cementing the reputation of this undoubted masterpiece.

Now The Apollo Players, one of the UK’s premier theatre companies, bring this dynamic musical to the King’s with a cast of 50 performers, full professional orchestra and ticket prices to suit every pocket.
