from eating at a high dining table rather than a low tea table. The English

inevitable hunger before dinner. It is less a working class meal and more

“West Side Story”
New! at the Orpheum
Sunday, July 17
More than fifty years ago one musical changed theater forever. Now it’s
back on Broadway mesmerizing audiences once again. From the first note
to the final breath, West Side Story soars as the greatest love story of
all time. Directed by its two-time Tony® Award-winning librettist Arthur
Laurents, West Side Story remains as powerful, poignant, and timely as
ever. The new Broadway cast album of West Side Story recently won the
2010 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Show Album. The Bernstein and
Sondheim score is considered to be one of Broadway’s finest and features
such classics of the American musical theatre as “Something’s Coming,”
“Tonight,” “America,” “I Feel Pretty,” and “Somewhere.”
