New York breaks ground on a bold new era, while the West Side Story dream of a family of dancers hangs in the balance. 

 

“In this family, the first language is neither Spanish nor English, but dance.” – Sylviane Gold, The New York Times

It’s 1959 and West Side Story  is all that anyone can talk about. Inez Candelaria works as an usher on Broadway but dreams that her talented and dance-obsessed children will find fame on the other side of the footlights. Meanwhile, the family nervously counts the days until a neighborhood-wide eviction abruptly threatens everything they have worked for.  

From Tony Award-winner playwright, Matthew López (The Inheritance, Some Like It Hot), the Los Angeles Times praises Somewhere as “ebullient, charming — a sprawling family drama and a coming-of-age story.” From the kitchen of their San Juan Hill apartment to stunning Jerome Robbins-inspired choreography on the streets of Manhattan, this talented and determined Puerto Rican family leans into the pure joy of dance and refuses to give up on their dreams.

“This play stole my heart. By Tony Award-winner Matthew López, it’s about dreaming, it’s about family, it’s about immigration. It’s about living in the shadow of displacement – inspired by West Side Story and also the real-life building of Lincoln Centre. It is absolutely a love letter to dance, an homage to Broadway, with a complex and beautiful message about art and the world we live in.” – Rachel Peake, Artistic Director
