West Side Story

Directed by: Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins

1961/155 min/70mm Film

When young Tony (Richard Beymer) and Maria (Natalie Wood) fall in love in 1957 New York City, their romance helps to fuel the fire between the warring Jets and Sharks, two rival gangs vying for control of the streets

Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins’ West Side Story is widely regarded as one of the greatest movie musicals ever made. The film brings Leonard Bernstein’s iconic score and Stephen Sondheim’s lyrics to life with electric choreography and a dazzling use of color. Originally shot in 70mm, this presentation showcases the film as it was meant to be seen, with exceptional clarity and scale.
