20th Century Studios has announced the release date for the forthcoming Disney+ debut of Steven Spielberg’s latest film adaptation of West Side Story.
West Side Story is directed by Oscar-winner filmmaker Steven Spielberg from a screenplay adapted by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Tony Kushner.
Based on the hit 1957 musical by Arthur Laurents, Leonard Bernstein, and Stephen Sondheim, West Side Story tells the classic tale of fierce rivalries and young love in 1957 New York City.
This new adaptation will once again center around the romance of Tony and Maria, who fall in love despite being affiliated with rival gangs.
