The Broadway Classic!

The Opera House Theatre Company brings the sizzling streets of 1950s New York to the stage to close out the 2026 season! The artfully danced street warfare and arresting Romeo-and-Juliet-esque romance of one of the greatest musicals ever to grace Broadway is revived by director Shane Fernando. The unmissable production is choreographed by Carson Hobbs based on the legendary choreography devised by Jerome Robbins, alongside Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's angular melodies, thrilling plot, and explosive sneaker ballet numbers!

Just like the Montagues and the Capulets, rival Big Apple gangs the Sharks and the Jets are divided by prejudice and hate. When two young affiliates of each gang, Maria and Tony, meet and fall in love, it inflames the opposing group's warfare. Determined not to let anything get in the way of their destiny together, the lovers meet in secret and plan to run away together, but after a rumble-under-the-highway goes awry, tragedy strikes and fate takes a vastly different turn.
