The world's greatest love story is transported to New York City in one of the theater's finest accomplishments. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet takes to the streets as two idealistic young lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs — the American "Jets" and the Puerto Rican "Sharks" — and their struggle to survive in a world of hatred, prejudice, and violence becomes one of the most breathtaking, relevant musical dramas of all time. In the spirit of City Lights' 2006 production of Jesus Christ Superstar, this glorious musical-theater experience finds new life and renewed poignancy in the intimate, innovative, and uncompromising setting of the City Lights stage.
