About Broadway Theatre<\/a> Seating Chart<\/a> West Side Story<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the five theatres to be actually located on Broadway, the Broadway Theater opened on Christmas Day 1924. The theatre was meant to be a venue for vaudeville shows and motion pictures but officially hosted a play, The New Yorkers, in 1930. The Shubert Organization acquired the theatre in 1939 and renovated it extensively in 1956 and 1986. The theatre has been extremely popular with musical productions because of large seating capacity, and the large stage, which is nearly sixty feet deep. The original exterior and the interior of the Broadway theatre were constructed in the Italian Renaissance style. In 1991, when a skyscraper was built above the theatre, the exterior reemerged in polished granite. Over the years, Broadway theatre has hosted various successful productions, including Rodgers and Hart\u2019s Too Many Girls, My Sister Eileen, South Pacific, Funny Girl, Cabaret, Mame, Fiddler on the Roof, The Wiz, Evita, Les Mis\u00e9rables, The Color Purple, Promises, Promises, Sister Act, and most recently King Kong.

West Side Story – Playing At The Broadway Theatre<\/h2>\n

\"broadway-Theatre-Seating-Chart\"<\/span><\/p>\n

West Side Story is making its return to Broadway this winter and will have a fresh cast and crew taking the original story through untreaded paths. The original show is considered one of the most successful Broadway musicals of all time. Four prominent names in the field of theatre came together for the original production in 1957 – Arthur Laurents (book), Leonard Bernstein (music), Stephen Sondheim (lyrics), and Jerome Robbins (direction and choreography). It ran for a whopping 732 performances then.<\/p>\n

The new take on West Side Story will be a collaboration between director Ivo Van Howe, designer Jan Verseyweld, and choreographer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker. This reimagining of the classic musical shall feature 23 new performers making their debuts on Broadway. We expect the show to leave its imprint in Broadway musical history when it premieres.<\/p>\n

The Story<\/h3>\n

A take on the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story is set in the Upper West Side locality of New York city. Two street gangs The Sharks (from Puerto Rico) and the Jets (from Poland) take centrestage. Tony, the protagonist of the show, is an ex-Jets member and the gang leader’s bestie.
