Lyric Opera, Chicago

West Side Story

Join us as this Broadway musical masterpiece comes to life on the Lyric stage.  Tony and Maria are two wide-eyed teenagers who fall in love.  As their friends and family battle with one another, Tony and Maria long for “a place for us…somewhere.”  Their songs illuminate every scene and permeate our culture, from the romance of “Maria” and “Tonight” to the exuberance of “America” and the humor of “Gee, Officer Krupke;” add to that, the bold, iconic dances that smolder and sizzle with energy, and you have a musical-theater experience you’ll never forget! *Main floor seats
