Directed by Academy Award® winner Steven Spielberg, from a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award® winner Tony Kushner, “West Side Story” tells the classic tale of fierce rivalries and young love in 1957 New York City. This reimagining of the beloved musical stars Ansel Elgort (Tony); Rachel Zegler (María); Ariana DeBose (Anita); David Alvarez (Bernardo); Mike Faist (Riff); Josh Andrés Rivera (Chino); Ana Isabelle (Rosalía); Corey Stoll (Lieutenant Schrank); Brian d’Arcy James (Officer Krupke); and Rita Moreno (as Valentina, who owns the corner store in which Tony works). Moreno – one of only three artists to be honored with Academy®, Emmy®, GRAMMY®, Tony® and Peabody Awards – also serves as one of the film’s executive producers.

Bringing together the best of both Broadway and Hollywood, the film’s creative team includes Kushner, who also serves as an executive producer; Tony Award® winner Justin Peck, who choreographed the musical numbers in the film; renowned Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor and GRAMMY Award® winner Gustavo Dudamel, who helmed the recording of the iconic score; Academy Award®-nominated composer and conductor David Newman (“Anastasia”), who arranged the score; Tony Award®-winning composer Jeanine Tesori (“Fun Home,” “Thoroughly Modern Millie”), who supervised the cast on vocals; and Grammy®-nominated music supervisor Matt Sullivan (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Chicago”), who served as executive music producer for the film. The film is produced by Spielberg, Academy Award®-nominated producer Kristie Macosko Krieger and Tony Award®-winning producer Kevin McCollum. “West Side Story” has been adapted for the screen from the original 1957 Broadway show, with book by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and concept, direction and choreography by Jerome Robbins.

From 20th Century Studios, The Walt Disney Company will release “West Side Story” in U.S. theaters on December 10, 2021.

  4. I remember when I first watched this movie freshman year in my intro to theatre class and I literally COULD NOT take my eyes of Riff/ Mike Faist. Mike Faist really stood out in this cast with his dancing and acting it's phenomenal. He seriously needs to be in more musicals.

  11. He was the best thing in the film in my opinion. Really made Riff a standout complex role – hugely compelling. So pleased his film career has really taken off. Incredibly talented and charismatic actor.

  12. loving mike – no wonder he was so good at dancing, he was in newsies!! and that's why there are also some newsies in the jets 😭 (and im pretty sure jeremy jordan also played tony in a WSS hollywood bowl performance!!) i guess the line between newsies and jets is thin

  21. Honestly, he stole all the scenes he was in. The way he overshadowed the lead is kinda funny, because Ansel was so bad and shouldn't have been cast in a musical at all. It's nice to see actual Broadway stars in big movies

  28. I only watch this movie because of Mike faist his performance was breathtaking I adore him so much.
    I watch it at least twice a day just to see Mike faist he's my new favorite star can't wait to see him more often on the screen.

  30. i'm seriously so obsessed with how well this movie was cast. literally the only one who didn't completely steal the show was ansel. rachel, ariana, mike, ben cook…who would have thought that putting people who actually do theater for a living in a musical theater movie would make it better?
