SYNOPSIS:

There’s a place for us… Somewhere a place for us.

It’s 1959, West Side Story has taken Broadway by storm, and from their family’s tiny apartment in the San Juan Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, the young Candelaria siblings dream of glamorous careers in show business. However, in their father’s extended absence, oldest son Alejandro has had to trade in his tap shoes for a job at the corner store. When the opportunity arises for this talented Puerto Rican family to audition for roles in West Side Story itself, all their dreams seem poised to come true – until a neighborhood-wide eviction abruptly threatens everything they have worked for.
Tony Award-winning playwright Matthew López offers a humorous, moving and dance-filled portrait of a family set on edge by gentrification, stubborn idealism, and a profound love of the performing arts.
