ARTS Picks: West Side Story

Never was there a tale of more woe than that of Maria and her Tony. Broadway’s West Side Story travels south to the John Paul Jones Arena for one night only. Revel in the Bernstein and Sondheim score, the knife fights, and the love story as the Jets and the Sharks spar on the streets of New York in a musical that remains relevant after five decades.

Thursday 5/9  $35-55, 7:30pm. John Paul Jones Arena. (888) 575-8497.
