![INTERVIEW: Sophie Salvesani & Todd Jacobsson (West Side Story)](https://joy.org.au/thecabaretroom/wp-content/uploads/sites/197/2019/04/20190414_West-Side-Story.jpg)
Hailed as the “greatest Broadway musical of all time”, West Side Story kicked off it’s Melbourne season on 6th April and runs through to 28th April. Darren recently caught up with the stars of West Side Story, Sophie Salvesani (Maria) and Todd Jacobsson (Tony) who spoke about playing the iconic roles in this well-known musical and the relevance of the story to our modern world.
West Side Story is a modern re-telling of Romeo and Juliet; this tragic love story tells the tale of two young people whose happiness is destroyed by the hate of two enemy camps in New York City’s urban jungle. The “Jets”, sons of previous immigrants to America, battle the new arrivals from Puerto Rico, the “Sharks”, for domination of the streets.
