WEST SIDE STORY Begins Next Week

CT Rep closes the 2016 Nutmeg Summer Series with the iconic American musical WEST SIDE STORY onstage July 7-17, 2016.

One of the most beloved shows of the American musical canon closes out CRT’s Nutmeg Summer Series. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is transported to New York City, as two young lovers find themselves torn between their love and their allegiance to rival street gangs. Arthur Laurents’ book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim is widely regarded as one of the best ever written, featuring “Tonight”, “America” and “Somewhere”.
