Arthur Laurents, 90, who wrote the libretto to West Side Story, is directing a revival of the musical, which is scheduled to open at a Nederlander theater in March 2009.
But first the show will play at the National Theatre in Washington, the venue of the musical's world premiere in 1957. This pre-Broadway run will be December 16, 2008 through January 17, 2009.
The show was originally directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins, with music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and book by Arthur Laurents. Harold Prince was one of the producers. The show ran for 732 performances. It was revived on Broadway in 1980, and has remained popular in local theaters and schools throughout the world.
