MGM HD: West Side Story July 8, 2011

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic film - winner of ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture - as the Hollywood Bowl presents a world-premiere event. The LA Phil plays Leonard Bernstein's electrifying orchestral score and memorable songs with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim live, while the newly re-mastered film is shown in glorious high definition on the Bowl's big screen with the original vocals and dialog intact. This classic romantic tragedy, one of the greatest movie musicals, is based on a masterful book by Arthur Laurents and features breathtaking choreography by Jerome Robbins.
