Is there a relationship between the dramas of ancient Greek tragedy and the writings of William Shakespeare or the musical drama West Side Story?

hey there! I'm in 8th grade and i took general music this semester and we watched west side story. my teacher explained to us that the play romeo and Juliet is similar to west side story because tony thinks maria is dead and he wants to die. Juliet thinks romeo is dead and she kills herself. then, maria sees tony dead, and tells them to kill her too, like romeo drinking poison when he sees Juliet. hope this answers your question! p.s. I'm not positive about who died first in romeo and Juliet, but i know that is how they are similar.
