2002 - West Side Story
“Director’s Notes
...What you will experience tonight is not only one of the greatest musicals of all time. You will experience one of the greatest musicals of all time performed solely by kids... Here before you is not only one of the greatest and most difficult shows in musical theatre, it is the greatest and most difficult show put on entirely by an all-youth company. Here before you are kids - kids placed in an extraordinary situation, putting on the most extraordinary of all shows.”
