Gang Side Story
A revival of ?West Side Story? is up for four Tonys. With choreography, and score, and songs that are all regarded as classics, we sometimes forget the show is all about gang violence. The writer Bruce George is a former member of the Bronx gang Kaos Crew, and he gave writer Henry Alford a reality check on “West Side Story.” Produced by Studio 360’s Pejk Malinovski.
