One of the most recognizable Broadway shows is at the Paramount Theater in St. Cloud through May 13. I was granted a backstage pass to check out the show before it opens! Here's a sneak peek at West Side Story.

West Side Story is a modern-day telling of the Shakespeare classic Romeo & Juliet. It takes place in the Upper West Side neighborhood of New York City in the mid 1950s. It has been hailed as one of the best musicals ever written and has been transformed to the movie screen, toured around the world and held a long run on Broadway in New York.

The GREAT Theater production brings some of our best local talent to one stage for a fun production.
