The setting for the song "Maria" in West Side Story takes place in the vibrant yet tense atmosphere of New York City’s Upper West Side during the 1950s. The song captures Tony’s romantic feelings as he reflects on Maria, a girl he has just met, amidst the backdrop of rival gangs and cultural conflict. The urban landscape, with its tenement buildings and street life, serves to heighten the emotional intensity of Tony's longing and hope.
