Overview

The critically acclaimed and wildly popular Broadway musical appears on the Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour stage.

Take your seats overlooking the concrete jungle of New York City where West Side Story's iconic rumble between the Jets and the Sharks takes place. The picture-perfect backdrop of the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge twinkles with thousands of city lights as night falls.

Nearly every song in this musical is a Broadway hit. ‘America,’ ‘Somewhere,’ ‘Tonight,’ ‘I Feel Pretty,’ and ‘Something’s Coming’.

Experience the magic of outstanding music compositions and witness dynamic choreography unfold on stage, showcased by a vibrant and talented ensemble.

Fireworks are an iconic Sydney trademark. Each performance lights up the Sydney Harbour skyline with a spectacular display of vibrant colours.

Don't waste your money and your life..hours. YOLO. Time is precious. Don't waste it on this. Sound was terrible and could hear echo/lag from the speakers on the other side of stage. Also sound was over loud and washed out the lyrics. Might have just been this show, on my visit. Venue pizzas - average. Price $22-25

Fabulous! All the way around, the setting, the talent, the choreography, the vocalists! We bought tickets late and were in the back row, but worth every penny. We love theatre and have seen shows in London, New York, Chicago and Minneapolis and we were absolutely thrilled with the experience. We ate at one of the on-site cafes on the theatre grounds. We could view the Harbor Bridge, Opera House and the moon setting - magical! Well done!

Going to see thi show was one of the reason for our 3 night short stay holiday to Sydney. Set on the magnifient Sydney Harbour with a stunning backdrop of city lights and fireworks just before interval this is a truely spectacular setting. We travelled to the venue via water taxi from a pontoon located next to the entrance to the Botanic Gardens, a short walk past the Sydney Opera House. Single adult ticket price was $15 but other options included bus, taxi and ride share to the venue enterance. We were unaware of these and had chosen to walk to the Opear House expecting the performance to be close by - it is not. We booked a return water taxi and were very happy when the return trip dropped us at Circular Quay, which reduced our walk back to the hotel. NOTE there is quite a walk from the water taxi drop off point to the venue which includes several flights of stairs which may be a challange for people with mobility issues. We booked mid priced seats (still $284pp) in C block half way up. These provided a good view of the stage and we saw everything. Note that seats at the extreme left of stage in blocks A and B would have poor sight lines and therefore are a lot cheaper. HINT book isle seats if you can as this will help existing the venue at the end of the show. The set is amazingly simple but effective and the singing and dancing wonderful, as you would expect from such a renowned company. This rendition is faithful to the original version and worth seeing. However I doubt younger children would be entertained and the price is high compared to other shows I have seen. I note that as the show started people from the cheaper seats simply moved across to the vacant more expensive ones and nobody tried to stop them, so you might get luckly. Showing till 21 April 2024.

We had fun. We enjoyed the show very much. The show is great. And the background with Sydney Opera House was fantastic. And the fireworks were so amazing.
