Buy Tickets -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEST SIDE STORY BASED ON A CONCEPTION OF JEROME ROBBINS Book by ARTHUR LAURENTS Music by LEONARD BERNSTEIN Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM Entire Original Production Directed And Choreographed by JEROME ROBBINS Originally produced on Broadway by Robert E. Griffith and Harold S. Prince By arrangement with Roger L. Stevens Licensed exclusively by Music Theatre International (Australasia). TONIGHT, TONIGHT THE WORLD IS WILD AND BRIGHT. GOING MAD, SHOOTING SPARKS INTO SPACE! Musical masterpiece West Side Story exploded onto Broadway in 1957 in a sensational storm of exuberant dance and wistful romance. It was a phenomenon that never faded, “an incandescent piece of work” (The New York Times). In 2024, the iconic musical returns to Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour in an electrifying, larger-than-life staging. Experience the greatest score ever written for musical theatre, dynamic dance numbers that soar through the open air, and a love story for the ages. It’s war on New York’s Upper West Side in this modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet. The Jets and the Sharks are locked in a fierce turf battle, but as the two teen gangs hurtle down a dangerous path, Tony and Maria cross enemy lines, dreaming of a time and place where they can love freely. Leonard Bernstein’s score is punctuated with hits: ‘America’, ‘Tonight’, ‘Maria’, ‘I Feel Pretty’, and the enduring ‘Somewhere’. Opera and musical theatre great Francesca Zambello directs a production that revels in all that’s beautiful about West Side Story, with designers Brian Thomson and Jennifer Irwin transforming Sydney into a slice of New York. See why this staging became the highestselling ever on the harbour-top stage, delighting audiences and critics. Limelight called it “a wonderful production that uses the large, outdoor space cleverly, thrills with its electrifying choreography and catchy, complex score ★★★★½”. If you’ve never been to Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour, prepare for a remarkable night out. Arrive early to enjoy the sun setting over Sydney Harbour as you raise a glass and drink in the view at one of the five pop-up bars and restaurants on site. Then take your place in the grandstand by the water to enjoy the enthralling show, complete with live orchestra hidden beneath the dramatic stage and fireworks in the balmy night air. “A WONDERFUL PRODUCTION THAT USES THE LARGE, OUTDOOR SPACE CLEVERLY, THRILLS WITH ITS ELECTRIFYING CHOREOGRAPHY AND CATCHY, COMPLEX SCORE ★★★★½” LIMELIGHT CAST & CREATIVE DIRECTOR Francesca Zambello MUSICAL DIRECTOR Guy Simpson ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR Eric Sean Fogel REVIVAL CHOREOGRAPHER Kiira Schmidt Carper SET DESIGN Brian Thomson COSTUME DESIGN Jennifer Irwin LIGHTING DESIGN John Rayment SOUND DESIGN Des O’Neill REVIVAL SOUND DESIGNER Jake Luther TONY Billy Bourchier MARIA Nina Korbe ANITA Kimberley Hodgson RIFF Patrick Whitbread BERNARDO Manuel Stark Santos STANDBY TONY Joel Granger STANDBY MARIA Clarissa Spata Opera Australia Orchestra DOC Wayne Scott Kermond SCHRANK Scott Irwin OFFICER KRUPKE Joe Clements GLADHAND Doron Chester THE JETS John Rex Berry Molly Bugeja Ella Fitzpatrick Ewan Herdman Luke Jarvis Chloë Marshall Lexie Mav Brittany Page Bronson Pfeiler Dimitri Raptis Jamie Reisin Lewis Shilvock Ryan Smith Bree Stephens Daniel Wijngaarden P.
