The smash hit musical by Opera Australia is on at Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour until April 21.
In this 20th Century retelling of Romeo & Juliet, the Jets and the Sharks are locked in a fierce turf battle, but as the two teen gangs hurtle down a dangerous path, Tony and Maria cross enemy lines, dreaming of a time and place where they can love freely.
Hits include America, Tonight, Maria, I Feel Pretty and the enduring Somewhere.
Each night, one die-hard fan can buy themselves a slice of stardom, joining the cast on-stage in the iconic 'Dance at the Gym' scene and experience the thrill of performing on stage.
