West Side Story at the River Center

The Great White Way comes to the Red Stick as the River Center presents the touring company of West Side Story tonight for one night only. This retelling of Romeo and Juliet set in 1950s New York tells the story of a pair of working class kids who fall in love despite the escalating violence between their respective gangs—with tragic consequences for themselves, their friends and families. Favorite songs like “America” and “I Feel Pretty” are sure to wow in this acclaimed revival. 8 p.m. Tickets are $40-$65. brrivercenter.com
