West Side Story, first produced in 1957, is a modern remake of Romeo and Juliet, star-crossed lovers whose happiness can never be.
"Somewhere" by Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein appears in Act II, after the principals, Maria and Tony realize their respective families/gangs are irreconcilable - Tony, Polish and Maria, Puerto Rican. Hence, "There's a place for us, Somewhere." Not here. Not now.

The idea came about because of the surge of immigrants in the late 1940s and early 1950s in New York City. Originally the musical was supposed to be about a gang of Jewish immigrants rivalling a gang of Catholic Americans, but this plot was felt to have been seen before, and so it was changed to Americans vs. Puerto Ricans, because that idea felt much more original and relevant to the current times.
