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.
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
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."
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.
