The musical "West Side Story," directed by Edgar Zakarian, will be shown on the new stage of the Moscow Taganka Theatre.
How many boundaries do we construct ourselves? Why do we erect walls between "us" and "them"? And what if the very person we've been waiting for our whole lives turns out to be on the other side? America's Romeo and Juliet met just once—and that was enough to divide the world into "before" and "after." But can two hearts stop the noise of hostility? The visual language of film and theater meets in a tragic love story set against a backdrop of street conflict.
Audiences are immersed in the atmosphere of mid-20th-century New York. Jazz and rock 'n' roll meet with the grandeur of the largest orchestra in the history of musicals at the Taganka Theatre. Shakespearean passions come to life in the Manhattan neighborhoods, and choreography becomes a language for expressing the most important things.
The production is based on the 1961 film West Side Story, which won 10 Academy Awards and was based on the Broadway musical of the same name by composer Leonard Bernstein, lyricist Stephen Sondheim and choreographer Jerome Robbins.
The roles are played by Ivan Koryakovsky, Nikita Luchikhin, Roman Serkov, Alexey Finaev-Nikolotov, Alexander Zaryadin, Pavel Komarov, Eldar Danilchik, Marfa Koltsova, Roman Kolotukhin, Stepan Konstantinov, Grigory Pavlishin, Vladislav Neronov, Kirill Yanchevsky, Victor Stepanyan, Maxim Trofimchuk, Alexandra Basova, Alexandra Khovanskaya, Daria Avratinskaya, Ekaterina Vostrova, Nadezhda Bodyakova, Anastasia Lazukina, Evgenia Stegniy, Elizaveta Vysotskaya, Yulia Stozharova, Konstantin Lyubimov, Sergey Ushakov, Anastasia Vivdenko and Anna Safronova.
