Movie Morning at the Hawaii Theater~West Side Story!

WEST SIDE STORY~~the movie
Free Event!
"Experience one of the most acclaimed movie musicals ever made when the original big screen version of West Side Story (1961) comes to the Hawaii Theater on November 17th. Winner of 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture, this landmark film reimagines Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet amid the rival street gangs of 1950s New York City.
Directed by Robert Weiss and Jerome Robbins, West Side Story features breathtaking choreography, unforgettable performances and a legendary score by Leonard Bernstein, with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Beloved songs, including "Maria," "America," "Tonight," and "Somewhere" have made this timeless musical a cultural touchstone for generations."

Presented as part of the Kupuna Movie Morning series, this special screening is your chance to experience the romance, drama and dazzling dance numbers as they were meant to be seen---on the big screen.

This event is sponsored by the Hawaii Theater Center and the Hawaii LGBT Legacy Foundation. While tailored for seniors, the film series is an inclusive environment welcoming all ages.

Doors open at 10:30 with complimentary coffee & pastries. So come early and hang out with us!
The movie starts at 11:30.
