West Side Story is here!!!!

Last night was the premier of the fantastic Broadway musical, West Side Story, on its tour in New Orleans. The Mahlia Jackson Theater provided a friendly environment for the traveling show to perform and really made you feel like you were in 1960’s Brooklyn, with hit songs such as, “Tonight,” “America,” “Somewhere,” and “I Feel Pretty.”

The show featured great singing, outstanding choreography, and of course and unforgettable plot. A gang rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, and a romance between two people from different backgrounds, makes for thrilling storyline that really keeps people on their toes. The fight scenes between the Sharks and the Jets featured exciting and dramatic dancing.

The intense drama during the 2nd Act really brought the play to life. The actors and actresses put everything they had into this performance, and made it a truly enjoyable show for everyone.
