The forthcoming revival of West Side Story, which arrives on Broadway December 10, is continuing its nationwide search for Latinx performers for the roles of Maria, Anita, and Bernardo.

The production is also looking for contemporary dancers of all ethnicities. An open dance call will be held January 21. To receive an appointment time for the principal roles, email a headshot and resume—or video by January 22—to [email protected].

Directed by Tony winner Ivo van Hove with choreography by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, the reimagining of Jerome Robbins, Arthur Laurents, Leonard Bernstein, and Stephen Sondheim's masterwork will officially open February 6, 2020, at a Broadway theatre to be announced.

West Side Story will feature all-new choreography (a first for major New York productions), with sets and lighting design by Jan Versweyveld.
