West Side Story starts out with a prologue that is essentially a meeting of the Jets and Sharks at a basketball court where challenges are made between the two gangs.
The opening act sees a lieutenant and a street cop breaking up a confrontation between the two groups.
West Side Story is essentially an adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet taking place in 1950's New York, where the Jets and the Sharks represent the feuding families in Shakespeare's story.
