“It is a very exciting and adventurous challenge to work in a new production, not yet completed but continuously shaping in the creative process. Preparations precede the rehearsal period and various plans and ideas may as well end up in the dustbin. Then comes the day of the premiere and all the thoughts previously created and ripened find their place and value: they are embodied in the music, moves and play.

For the first time in the Hungarian history of the operetta and musical, the opening of a new musical by world famous American authors could be seen on the stage of the Budapest Operetta Theatre and the Szeged Open-Air Festival!
“In this classical musical the audience witnesses a historical drama following the idea of rebellion, all this interpreted by excellent soloists. Besides the elegant ball dances, grandiose scenes, the spectacular and realistic Prater scene and the waltz of the noble crowd like visionary demons are also worth attention.”

Csokonai Theatre, Debrecen: Leonard Bernstein – West Side Story

Szergej Maszlobojscsikov, the director of the performance does not intend to present the young couple’s tragic story as a banal melodrama. He depicts characters that, wandering on the borderline of reality and imagination, are inserted in the myth of old movies, while trying to escape the emptiness of life. Their conflicts are moved by hatred born out of fear, which does lead to a tragedy in the end, but humor and the youngsters’ natural love of life is constantly present on the stage told with the help of spectacular dances, singing and music.
