## 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
