The exuberant musical West Side Story, the first major work Stephen Sondheim ever wrote lyrics to, was adapted for film in '61 by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins. Starring Natalie Wood, Rita Moreno, and George Chakiris, the film was an instant hit, winning 10 Academy Awards; it's now considered a classic of the musical cinema genre. Snap along with the Jets at this celebratory screening of the film, where the Oregon Symphony will perform Leonard Bernstein's unmistakable score live.
