Synopsis This ground-breaking modernization of Romeo and Juliet, set on the sidewalks and byways of New York City, is one of the most critically acclaimed and successful musicals of all time. On the harsh streets of the upper west side, white and Puerto Rican gangs battle for control of the turf... and two of the most powerful are the Jets, led by Riff, and the Sharks, led by Bernardo. Now they're ready to fight it out once and for all -- they have only to set the time and place and the rumble will begin. But the situation suddenly becomes more complicated and dangerous when Tony, one of the Jets, meets Bernardo's sister Maria and falls in love. At her urging, he attempts to make peace between the two camps. But then things go terribly wrong... and, like Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers, it appears that Tony and Maria may not be able to overcome the world of hate that surrounds them.
