West Side Story

POST A COMMENT
March 29 - April 3, 2011
Bass Concert Hall

More than fifty years ago one musical changed theater forever. Now it’s back, and 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 David Saint, using Tony Award-winning librettist Arthur Laurents’ Broadway direction, 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.”

Please be aware that Sunday, April 3rd at 2pm, the annual Orange & White Scrimmage will coincide with our matinee performance of West Side Story, bringing thousands of additional people to our side of campus for the event at the stadium across the street. Please plan on arriving earlier than usual (we will open the lobby at 12:30pm for the 2pm performance) in order to be able to find parking and arrive to Bass on time for the show. Event parking will still be available in the San Jacinto Garage, Manor Garage and LBJ lots along Red River.

Thank you and enjoy the show!
