Snag a Role in West Side Story


October 15, 2018

Remember West Side Story? Millions of people have grown up with the Broadway show and musical film, and now legendary director Steven Spielberg is looking to bring the classic back to the big screen. While actor Ansel Elgort has already been cast to play the role of Tony, there is still no word on who will portray the role of Maria. However, the film is currently seeking actors to help fill out the cast, and the auditions are happening right here at the Miami City Ballet.

For those unfamiliar with West Side Story, it began its life as a Broadway musical, debuting in 1957. Inspired by Shakespeare’s iconic play Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story uses the Upper West Side of New York City as its setting during the 1950s. It tells the story of a pair of rival teenage gangs of different ethnicities called the Sharks and Jets and the romance that develops between the aforementioned Tony and Maria. The show ran for more than 700 performances and was nominated for six Tony Awards. In 1961, the musical was adapted into a film and received eleven Academy Award nominations, winning nearly all of them including Best Picture.

For those interested in auditioning for a role in Spielberg’s West Side Story, they should be individuals with a strong dance background between the ages of 15 and 25 that are also able to sing. Auditions will be taking place on October 29.
