West Side Story on Sydney Harbour

Witness a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet through a revival of one of the most renowned musicals to take the Broadway stage. Witness an immersive fusion of music, dance and theater, created by the legendary Jerome Robbins!

Dine by the harbor as a grand rendition of the iconic musical West Side Story unfolds before you in an open-air theater.

Watch Sydney Harbor transform into a slice of New York. A set so elaborate that a 30-meter highway underpass soars above the stage.

Sway to an eclectic mix of jazz, theater, and classical music as hits like ‘Maria’ and ‘America’ come alive with a spirited choreography.

Marvel as a kaleidoscope of colors fills the Sydney sky with fireworks after a live orchestra fills your heart with a timeless love story.

Fun fact: The West Side Story is so loved that it was adapted into a movie not once but twice, in 1961 and 2021. Truly an evergreen hit!

Imagine a stunning outdoor location with spectacular views, an extravagant set, colorful costumes, feisty choreography, acrobatics, and a live orchestra playing musical hits to tell the tale of timeless love, the West Side Story!

NY on Sydney Harbor

Head to the grandstand by the water to enjoy an enthralling show set in New York with its graffitied subway cars and the Statue of Liberty against the backdrop of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbor Bridge. The entire musical is performed under a 30-meter highway underpass that runs across the length of the stage, symbolizing New York’s underbelly, riddled with urban gang culture. 2.5 times larger than any other Australian indoor stage, it required 105 workers to toil for 25 days to build this elaborate stage such that it gives you a taste of New York.

Staging an iconic musical

The West Side Story, a 1950’s musical tale of two star-crossed lovers, is adapted especially for the massive Sydney Harbor Stage. The live orchestra hidden behind the stage accompanied by energetic dance routines make crowd favorites like ‘Maria’, ‘I feel pretty’, ‘America’, and ‘Somewhere’ enliven the air with aching joy. An eclectic mix of music and colors showcase and celebrate the gang rivalry - making the musical a sensorial extravaganza.

But that’s not all, your perfectly balmy Broadway night will end on a high note as fireworks fill the Sydney sky.
