'''''West Side Story''''' is one of the most popular and influential [[musical]]s of the 20th century. Its central theme is of a love that is not ruled by any notion of [[right and wrong]], and these necessarily lead to tragedy.
:When love comes so strong
:There is no right or wrong
It is based on ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'' with music by famous conductor and composer [[Leonard Bernstein]] and lyrics by [[Stephen Sondheim]]. The Capulets and Montagues of Shakespeare's classic play are replaced with the Jets and Sharks, rival [[street gang]]s<ref>newly-arrived Puerto Ricans and second-generation Americans from white European immigrant families [http://www.filmsite.org/wests.html (Tim Dirks)] </ref>
in [[Manhattan]].
