West Side Story - on anywhere?

Post by Hecouldshine »

Does anyone know of a production of West Side Story on somewhere over the summer? Local group or music theatre degree show etc One being taken to Edinburgh fringe would be perfect......

Ds possibly doing the choreography of a school production (very small stage) and looking to see how others have done it. It's 3 or 4 years since he saw the tour so apparently he can't remember a thing! :roll:

Might be a bit short notice as it runs from tomorrow until Sunday and not many tickets left, if you can make it you are in for a treat!

Thanks Ditzi. It looks fab but ds has AS levels starting in a week so we need performances later in the summer. I think I've found one by Stage Experience at York Opera House at the end of July but an Edinburgh Fringe one or a Manchester or a performing arts degree course one would trump that - anyone?

It does look really good. It's just too far to go for us the week before AS-levels. I hope you enjoy it.

My dd is taking part in the York production. The choreographer is fantastic and has an excellent reputation in the North (Leeds, York etc) her productions are always of an incredibly high standard. (As this one is a stage experience production it is all done within 2 weeks). :D

cookycrew thanks for letting me know about the York production. That's really helpful. DS wasn't sure when I told him about it but I will show him your post. I hope your dd has a great time :D
