ACT

The Jets (American) and the Sharks (Puerto Ricans) both form their own gangs. I warn them so hopefully they wouldn't create any fights, but of course they didn't care.

At the dance (which the two gangs attend) the two gangs are challenged to dance with each other. That is when the "Dance at the Gym" musical number takes place. I stopped them

from fighting.

A few moments after I warned them, Riff (the Shark's leader) wants to have a rumble that night at the dance.

That is when Tony (a previous Jets gang member) met Bernardo's sister Maria. They both fall in love. When Bernardo sees them falling in love he pulls his sister away and makes her go home.

Tony finds where she lives and serenades her. That is when "Maria" the music number is sang.

Doc thinks

Maria is actually dead and

tells Tony she has passed. Tony

now feels there is no reason to live

anymore. So he yells Chino's name lots

of times, and asks him to kill him too. Right

when Tony sees Maria, Chino finds Tony

and shoots him. The Sharks and Jets gather around Maria and Tony. Maria holds Tony in her arms and sings to him "Somewhere."

Maria takes away Chino's gun and points it

at the two gangs. She can't fire the gun

so she falls on to the ground crying.

The two gangs leave while carrying

Tony, which leaves Maria to be

the last one to leave.

WEST SIDE STORY

Then all the other Shark girls argue with the Shark guys about the differences between America and Puerto Rico. "America" the musical number happens there.

from Lieutenant Schrank's viewpoint

By: Austin Martinez

I go see Maria to

question her about Bernardo.

Maria tells Anita to go warn Tony

about Chino. When she is looking for Tony she runs into the Jets gang. The gang doesn't believe she is trying to help Tony out. They attack her verbally and physically. Doc (the owner of the store they were in) stops them. Anita gets really mad and delivers them the wrong message, saying that Chino

had killed Maria.

The Jets and Sharks decide which

weapons to use, and decide not to listen to me. Tony tries to make it just a fist fight, but the gang leaders don't seem so interested.

I tried to ask them where they were going to have the fight, but they wouldn't tell me a peep.

Maria is very happy because she plans on seeing Tony again. She sings "I Feel Pretty" the musical number at the bridal shop.

Tony and Maria

were talking, then Anita

wants to talk to Maria so Tony

hides and jumps out of the window.

As he leaves, Maria tells Tony to meet her

at Doc's so they can run away together.

Anita gets mad about her still loving Tony,

and sings "A Boy Like That." Maria sings "I

Have a Love" showing that she loves him very much. Anita sees how powerful their

love for each other is, and tells Maria

that Chino has a gun and is hunting

down Tony to kill him.

Maria sees Tony the next day at the

bridal shop, where they dream of their wedding. They sing "One Hand, One Heart."

Maria asks Tony to stop the fight, and he said he would.

Anita, Maria, Tony,

the Sharks gang, and the Jets gang all sing "Tonight".

Chino (a shark

member) tells Maria

that Tony killed her brother (Bernardo), but she doesn't believe him. She goes to her bedroom and prays that what Chino said was not true.

Officer Krupke tries

to stop the Jets from starting problems. The gang says that they aren't going to create any trouble, and they can't go with their guardians because they don't get any love at home. The Jets sing "Gee, Officer Krupke."

ACT

The gangs meet under a

highway, and Tony tries to stop

them from fighting. Then Bernardo pushes Tony, and Riff punches Bernardo. The two get in a knife fight. "The Rumble" musical number takes place here. Riff was about to stab Bernardo but, Tony holds him back. Riff gets stabbed by Bernardo, so Tony grabs Riff's knife and kills Bernardo in rage. The sound of sirens comes near them, so the two gangs leave. Tony stays, remaining in shock. Anybodys (a tomboy who wants to join the Jets gang) has to bring him away from the dead bodies. Bernardo and

Riff are left there dead.

Tony go sees Maria. She

pounds on his chest with rage but

then stops, because she can't be mad

at him for long because she still loves

him. Then they try to create a plan

to run away together and

sing "Somewhere."

Then Anybodys informs the gang

that Chino has a gun and is hunting

down Tony to kill him. She gets

accepted into the gang. They all

go looking for Tony, even

Anybodys.
