Get ready to snap your fingers—the current Broadway production of the 1957 musical West Side Story is coming to the Stranahan. The modern classic recreates Romeo and Juliet in Manhattan's lower west side in a 1950’s era recasting of the Capulets and Montagues as warring Polish-American and Puerto Rican street gangs, the Jets and The Sharks. With its touching love story, jazzy soundtrack and post-modern message, West Side Story has become one of the most beloved musicals in Broadway history.
8pm Thursday, May 1 through Saturday, May 3; 7pm Sunday, May 2. Also 2pm Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 2. $28-73.
The Stranahan Theater, 4645 Heatherdowns Blvd. 419-381-8851. stranahantheater.org
