About “West Side Story”
Set in New York City in 1957, the movie tells the story of Tony and Maria, who experience love at first sight at their high school dance. This is more than a story of two star-crossed lovers, though. Tony is white and Maria is Puerto Rican and their blossoming romance leads to high tension between rival gangs, the Jets and Sharks, who are both fighting to take over the streets.
“West Side Story” stars Ansel Elgort (Tony), Academy Award nominee Ariana DeBose (Anita), David Alvarez (Bernardo), Mike Faist (Riff), Brian d’Arcy James (Officer Krupke), Corey Stoll (Lieutenant Schrank), Josh Andrés Rivera (Chino), EGOT winner Rita Moreno (Valentina), and Rachel Zegler (Maria).
“Something's Coming: West Side Story–A Special Edition of 20/20” is also available to stream on Disney+ now. Spielberg’s adaptation of “West Side Story” is the second big screen adaptation of the 1957 stage musical by the same name.
