Academy Award winner George Chakiris, the film's unforgettable Bernardo, and Tony nominee Carol Lawrence, Broadway's original Maria, unite for one extraordinary evening celebrating West Side Story - the groundbreaking musical that forever changed the American stage and screen. Palm Springs Cultural Center · Saturday, November 21, 2026 · 7:00pm Together, George and Carol will share intimate stories, never-before-seen clips, and behind the scenes memories from the making of an American masterpiece - from Jerome Robbins' legendary rehearsal rooms to the film shoot that captured lightning on celluloid. Interwoven throughout the evening, special guest vocalists - accompanied by Musical Director Adam McDonald \(Wicked\) at the piano - will perform selections from the Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim score in all their splendor, including "Tonight," "Maria," "Somewhere," and "America." Sixty-five years later, the fire escape still beckons, the mambo still sizzles, and somehow, someday, somewhere still brings audiences to tears. Don't miss this once in a lifetime evening with two living legends of the greatest musical ever made. Special guest vocalists to be announced. Tickets start at $55, with premium options including The West Side Story Experience, featuring a pre-show meet & greet with Mr. Chakiris and Ms. Lawrence and a commemorative lanyard credential. Presented by Alan Eichler and Chris Isaacson in association with Palm Springs Cultural Center.
