In the New Year, the Exeter University Footlights company present a brand new innovative production of Bernstein and Sondheim's classic West Side Story. Actor Will Moore, director Jordan Murphy and publicity assistant Marcus Beard came into the studio and enthused about this production which I am sure will prove moving and highly professional with superb acting, amazing dance choreography and top class arrangements of the timeless music.

West Side Story runs from Wednesday 29 January to Saturday 1st February. More information on the Exeter Northcott website and the Exeter University Footlights Facebook page.
There's a trailer for the production here.
