Past Show
July 18 - August 03, 2008
The action-packed retelling of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet brought to new life by musical theatre geniuses Bernstein, Sondheim, Robbins and Laurents. Join the Sharks and Jets, warring gangs on the streets of New York City, and discover that love can bloom in a world of hate, violence and prejudice. A cast of vivacious area teens bring new life to such famous classics as “Tonight,” “America” and “Somewhere.”
