West Side Story - film screening

Join us for a special screening of the timeless musical West Side Story (1961) as part of our celebration of cult classic films.

Experience the magic of this legendary film in the historic setting of the Mansfield Palace Theatre Lounge, a venue that began its life as the town's first purpose-built cinema, the Palace Electric Theatre, opening its doors on 13 December 1910.

A modern retelling of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story transports the classic tale of forbidden love and rivalry to the streets of 1950s New York. Two star-crossed lovers, Tony and Maria, find themselves caught between two warring gangs—the Jets and the Sharks. With unforgettable music, breathtaking choreography, and powerful performances, this film redefined the movie musical genre and continues to captivate audiences.

Starring:

Natalie Wood (Maria)
Richard Beymer (Tony)
Rita Moreno (Anita)
George Chakiris (Bernardo)
Settle in for an unforgettable evening of song, dance, and drama in the cozy lounge of the Mansfield Palace Theatre. Drinks and snacks will be available at the bar to complete your cinematic experience!
