RicNic Productions, the award-winning youth theatre group of Winchester, proudly presents the highly acclaimed musical, West Side Story.

This masterpiece of musical theatre transports Shakespeare's ultimate romantic tale to the turbulent streets of New York in the 1950's, where gang warfare is rife. Two idealistic young lovers, Tony & Maria, find themselves tragically caught up in the conflict, to a heartbreaking end.

Come prepared to see such electric dances and memorable numbers such as 'Tonight', 'Gee Officer Krupke', 'Somewhere' & 'America', and be moved to the edge of your seat and beyond by this talented young company's colourful rendition of a stunning classic.

'The evening left the audience with a blissful smile on their face' Curtain Call Awards
