"West Side Story" was originally conceived as a Broadway musical, with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. It premiered on Broadway on September 26, 1957, at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City. The story is a modern retelling of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," set in the context of New York City's gang culture. The musical was later adapted into a successful film in 1961.
