Spielberg was obsessed with the original cast soundtrack of 'West Side Story' before the original film had been made. He used to imagine the action and dancing that might accompany it. Finally, he has translated idle daydreams into celluloid magic with a blistering reworking of one of cinema’s most iconic films.
The story focuses on teenagers Tony and Maria who fall in love despite having affiliations with street gangs, the Jets and Sharks in 1950s New York. 'Romeo and Juliet' is the source material here with Ansel Elgort ('Baby Driver') as Tony and newcomer Rachel Zegler as Maria. Expect dazzling choreography and a night of joyous fun.
We are delighted to have DAWN GRACIE to perform prior to the film.
Dawn Gracie is an award winning vintage & cabaret entertainer based in Chichester. Her heels are firmly planted in the 50s & 60s and she is known for her love of immersing her audiences and literally getting in the crowd and getting the party started! Dawn is really looking forward to warming up the cinema goers on 6 Aug for the pre film singalong where she will take everyone back to the 50s era.
