With support from all five conservatories, UNCSA presented a new, fully staged, Broadway-caliber
production of "West Side Story" in 2007. "West Side Story" was directed by Drama Dean
Emeritus Gerald Freedman, who was assistant director of the original 1957 Broadway
production and co-director of the 1980 Broadway revival. Former Chancellor John Mauceri
served as musical director, and Kevin Backstrom staged Jerome Robbins' choreography.
