	~West Side Story~
	Based on a conception of Jerome Robbins Book by Arthur Laurents Music by Leonard Bernstein Lyrics by StephenSondheim

	~From the directors and designers who brought you *Les Misérables: School Edition* comes the landmark hit musical West Side Story. The world's greatest love story takes to the streets in this ground-breaking Broadway musical that is one of the theatre's finest accomplishments. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is transported to modern-day, as two young idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the Jets and the Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one of the most innovative, heart-wrenching and relevant musical dramas of our time.
	"A superlative musical; a chiller, a thriller, as up-to-the-minute as tomorrow's headlines"
