About

More than fifty years ago, a show about New York City changed musical theatre forever. Now, it's come home to make history once again.

From the first notes to the final breath, West Side Story is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time. Arthur Laurents' book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim — a collection of standards that includes "Tonight," "America," "Maria," "I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere" — is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. And the extraordinary, Tony-winning choreography by Jerome Robbins completely changed the language of Broadway dance.

This groundbreaking new production, directed by the legendary Arthur Laurents, offers a bold new design that builds on the show's raw power and emotion to create a fresh experience unlike any that came before it. Don't miss this thrilling presentation of a matchless work of art.

    West Side Story was great

    by MumsieLen on 4/1/15Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    It was a pleasure to see this play performed the way it was intended. Saw this show in Chicago last year and was very disappointed. Congrats to a stellar cast.

    Fantastic production of West Side Story

    by singingsportfan on 4/1/15Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    This may have been the best show I have seen at Drury Lane. The sets were great, the orchestra impeccable, and the cast was simply spot on. The two leads were so solid, the harmonies so beautiful, several of their songs brought me to tears. And the dancing was exciting! Well done on a difficult show to produce.

    Outstanding!!

    by Nikita7772 on 4/1/15Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    Play was well acted. Singing and dancing were fabulous. Actress that played Maria has the voice of an angel! I saw a production of WSS in downtown Chicago several years ago, & this production was 10X better, less expensive, and in a beautiful, comfortable, intimate venue!! Well worth the money!!

    Excellent , professional performance

    by Mrwint on 3/31/15Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    Overall an excellent production. Very well choreographed, sung and acted. Was a very enjoyable time for my wife's birthday. A couple of scenes were out of sequence from the movie version, but it didn't take away from the whole story.

    West Side Story

    by purtscher on 3/31/15Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    This had to be the best production of West Side Story I have ever seen! The acting, music, and staging was perfect. The characters had a persona on the stage that was enchanting. The music was moving and expertly done. The emotion so real in the play moved the audience. By far, this is as best as it gets!

    Enjoyable but a few have checked out

    by PatronEllie on 3/30/15Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    The ladies were wonderful and spot on (we loved several of them!), but a couple of the young men, not all, barely showed up, as though they are ready to move on, at the end of this extended run. A little laziness with a couple of the background dancers, lagging behind a few beats. The music in West Side Story is lovely. Maria's voice is spectacular, as are all of the main gals. Tony was good, but not much emotional connection.

    A great musical memory

    by 33Ver on 3/29/15Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    West Side story was a favorite musical movie of mine in the 60's and the Drury Lane live performance absolutely lived up to the original movie! Dancing, music, acting was top-notch, I felt like I was 17 again watching it for the first time! Just spectacular, with standing ovations from all the theater.

    West Side Story was great!

    by gizzy346 on 3/29/15Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    We had dinner first and attended the play. Both were very good. The staging for the play was sparse but good considering the space they had to work with. All of the Drury Lane employees we interfaced with were polite and helpful.

    One of the iconic musicals of all time

    by Anonymous on 3/28/15Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    The performers and the performance itself were of the quality of what I would expect in a long running Broadway success. We go to New York every year for the theater and this ranks right up there with are most fond experiences there.

    We love this musical but did not care for some of the scenes to be switched. The main characters were outstanding.

    Fantastic show

    by oldymcold on 3/24/15Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    I thoroughly enjoyed West Side Story. Great singing, dancing and acting. The set was very well done, and the scene changes went off without a hitch. I must admit that in my opinion, Anita stole the show. Very talented and vivacious girl! This is a MUST SEE show!

    Wonderful Evening

    by Noone on 3/24/15Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    Never get tired of seeing West Side Story and this production was as close to a Broadway show you'll get. The talent and sets were wonderful. The theater is beautiful! I highly recommend the dinner that can be purchased with the show. This was no ordinary dinner theater.

    by roc8705 on 3/24/15Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace - Oakbrook Terrace

    The production was excellent. The actors did an amazing job. The lead actor that played Anton had a great voice. They were funny and it flowed very smoothly. Everyone played well off one another. The show was much more than I expected.
