West Side Story is a musical with a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and conception and choreography by Jerome Robbins.It was inspired by William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet.   

West Side Story

Zooming Cadillac's, glistening skyscrapers, your own washing machine. Just some of the things hard-working Puerto Rican immigrants like Anita and Maria dream of upon their arrival to America.

However, gang violence, low paying work, and racism is the dark reality that greets them in New York’s gritty underbelly.

As the gangs of both factions square up, punching for a fight to settle dominance of Brooklyn once and for all, something remarkable happens right in the middle, blind to the violence and hate around it.

 Then sparks of love ignite!

 And just like that, the die is cast, and these two unsuspecting lovers are thrust into the centre of the escalating conflict. Who will win out in the battle of true love? Their hearts? Or their people?

This ultimate romantic-tragedy is one that will have you laughing, crying, stomping your feet, and screaming ‘Maria’ from the fire escape at the top of your lungs until you find your own true love.

You can be sure when hiring from Thespis Theatrical Costumiers that you will look truly amazing in any of the West Side Story costumes from our collection, where our attention to detail, quality, cleanliness and high standard of replication is second to none.
