West Side Story is based on Shakespeare's C. Romeo and Juliet.

West Side Story is a modern version of Romeo and Juliet, as there are two gangs (families), who constantly war against each other, but two lovers of opposite sides fall in love with each other, bringing complicated events.

hope this helps
