Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute has announced plans to launch a city-wide exploration of the Leonard Bernstein-Stephen Sondheim-Arthur Laurents musical West Side Story, which will include a large-scale staging of the landmark work in a century-old Queens factory building.

Three performances of West Side Story will take place March 4-6, 2016, at the Knockdown Center, a restored 50,000-square-foot factory located in Maspeth, NY.

Sounds better than the POS version they revived a few years ago. It was like watching Chelsea gym bunnies fight, and had about as much tension. UGGGGH
