A Real Life West Side Story
Manage episode 312607525 series 107440
A new movie version of West Side Story is hitting theaters this week. The musical, which tells a story of romance and rivalry between white and Puerto Rican gangs in New York City, first opened on Broadway in 1957.
The story of warring youth gangs turned out to be prophetic. Just a month before the musical opened, the city was stunned by the brutal murder of a teenager from Washington Heights named Michael Farmer.
Today on the podcast, a real life West Side Story.
This story originally aired on NPR in 2007.
