Latest 7's Paul Clark came to the opening night and gave our production 5 out of 5!
For a young cast today, it is still the show everyone wants to be a part of, and Brighton’s own City Youth Theatre Company’s slick, professional production neatly balanced the twin emotions of desperation and hope at the show’s core. Both the Jets and the Sharks managed to convey disillusionment with the American Dream.

Bernstein’s magnificently eclectic score was skilfully mastered by the 12 piece pit orchestra. A triumph!
