West Side Story debuted on Broadway in 1957, telling the tale of young lovers from different backgrounds through music and dance. More than a hundred students at Charlottesville High School take on the musical this week with performances at the Martin Luther King Jr. Performing Arts Center.
“Our cast is pouring heart and soul into every dance move, every note, every piece of the set,” said CHS Theater Director David Becker. “Our students have collaborated beautifully with one another to create this production, and I am incredibly proud of their achievement.”
There are five performances Wednesday through Saturday beginning at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee at 2 p.m. on Saturday.
Tickets are $16.75 and can be purchased online.
