Loved this production of West Side Story last night. The quality of the acting, singing and choreography was fantastic, especially accompanied by the amazing West End orchestra! They have got such a brilliant set up with the conversion of the site into a very cool, 'London Urban Chic' venue let alone with Prosecco Bar. It's hard to believe you are on Wilbury Way! Strongly recommend trying to bag yourself last few remaining seats for Sat & Sun matinee!
