Why see West Side Story? How is the story relevant today? It’s definitely a cautionary tale of what happens when people are ignorant and/or scared of what is “different” and give in to their impulses to fight against it all. It’s scary to see how relevant this piece still is today. We’ve made huge advances on some things (Medicine, Technology) yet we are still unable to do something as simple as to see past a person’s skin color.
