\u201cSomething\u2019s Coming\u201d \u2014 but it won\u2019t be Tony and Maria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWest Side Story,\u201d executive produced by Scott Rudin, will not reopen on Broadway. On Monday, producer Kate Horton announced that\u00a0the 2020 Broadway revival of the Leonard Bernstein classic will not return, which came after months of no official announcements.<\/p>\n

New York declared in May that theaters could return to 100% capacity on Sept. 14, just about 18 months after they were shut down by COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis difficult and painful decision comes after we have explored every possible path to a successful run, and unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, reopening is not a practical proposition,\u201d Horton said. \u201cWe thank all the brilliant, creative artists who brought \u2018West Side Story\u2019 to life at the Broadway Theatre, even for so brief a time, especially the extraordinary acting company, 33 of whom made their Broadway debuts in this production.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony-winning director Ivo van Hove, choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and designer Jan Versweyveld reimagined the 1957 production with Isaac Powell starring as Tony, Shereen Pimentel as Maria and Yesenia Ayala as Anita. Its run was only 21 performances, with opening night Feb. 20, 2020, and lockdown closing Broadway March 12. The musical being so short-lived, despite its heavy hitters, made it ineligible for Tony Awards consideration.<\/p>\n

The revival featured a more up-to-date plot, a shortened book, greater hip-hop influence and new choreography \u2014 the first major US staging of choreography different from that of Jerome Robbins.<\/p>\n

Rudin produced \u201cWest Side Story\u201d before stepping back after multiple allegations of abuse by staffers.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuch has been written about my history of troubling interactions with colleagues, and I am profoundly sorry for the pain my behavior caused to individuals, directly and indirectly,\u201d he said in a statement in April.<\/p>\n

In addition to \u201cWest Side Story,\u201d shows such as \u201cFrozen,\u201d \u201cBeetlejuice\u201d and \u201cMean Girls\u201d will not be returning to Broadway.<\/p>\n

Horton was recruited to join Barry Diller and David Geffen on the large-scale revival of \u201cThe Music Man,\u201d which stars Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster.<\/p>\n

\u201cWest Side Story\u201d fans can watch Steven Spielberg\u2019s version when it hits movie theaters Dec. 10.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
