SAINT IGNATIUS’ COLLEGE, RIVERVIEW proudly presents

DEDICATION This production of West Side Story is dedicated to Mr Shane Hogan, our departing Headmaster, for his unwavering and generous support of the Arts, with appreciation and affection from the Performing Arts Faculty.

THE PRODUCTION West Side Story is a modern day adaptation of Romeo and Juliet set in New York City during the 1950s.The Montagues are represented by the White AngloSaxon street gang called the 'Jets', led by Riff.The Capulets are the Puerto Rican 'Sharks', led

by Bernardo. Romeo is Tony, Riff's best friend and Juliet is Maria, Bernardo’s sister.

The musical score is by the legendary Leonard Bernstein, with lyrics by the equally talented Stephen Sondheim. From a musical perspective, West Side Story has one of the most difficult scores written for a musical, that challenges even the most seasoned of professionals, and we aim to present it with a student orchestra.

The cast, musicians and pit-choir have worked hard for six months on this musical and we feel that we have achieved a remarkable standard.

We hope that you will enjoy our production of West Side Story and thank you for supporting the Performing Arts at Riverview.
