Recommended Performance:West Side Story

Edinburgh University Footlights are thrilled to announce that their 2013 production will be one of Broadway's biggest musicals - West Side Story.

In the late 50s, Jerome Robbins transposed a timeless tale of romance and rivalry to the streets of New York in a whirlwind collaboration with Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein and Arthur Laurents.

Over 50 years later, Footlights are revisiting this much loved, multi award winning musical, and rediscovering all the grimy details of the story along the way. Follow the Jets and the Sharks through the dreary alleyways of a post-war New York in their attempt to construct an identity or escape from one. The city is what you make of it; you can come with your arms open or your fists closed.

With fresh choreography and a 29 piece orchestra, this year's production of West Side Story promises to be a rumble!

Showings: 29th January - 2nd February 2013 at 7:30 in Church Hill theatre.
