Act 2: West Side Story 2008 -This electrifying musical sets the ageless tragedy of Romeo and Juliet against the backdrop of gang warfare in the streets of New York in the 1950's. ODT modernizes this love story fated for tragedy amidst the vicious rivalry of two street gangs-the Jets and the Sharks. ODT's production focuses on key Kentucky core content-the elements of dance, drama, and music. The choreography is woven with a mix of realism and fantasy while powerfully promoting an anti-drug and anti-violence message. Enjoy this classic Broadway production revitalized in 2008.
