The musical does have some truth to it. Even though it is not completely autobiographical. In the time that the musical was based on the truth was that there was friction between a growing population of Latin American immigrants. Gangs would fight eachother. West Side Story is also a version of Romeo and Juliet if you look at the story line except Maria does not die in the end.
