Why see West Side Story? How is the story relevant today? Where there is a difference of opinion, there is potential to destroy. We might not go so far as to kill each other (as the show portrays) but we often aim to critically injure- careers, reputations, home life, self esteem, etc. After seeing this show, I hope people leave the theatre reflecting on where their opinions clash with others, perhaps politically, spiritually, ethically, or elsewhere. I hope that in their reflection they find that having different points of view is never worth destroying another person- in any way.
