A Musical project seeking Production Partners.

In a city divided by invisible borders, two worlds collide. An urban tragedy where the echoes of Broadway meet the relentless pulse of jazz.

The Projet

West Side East Side Story 2 is a musical work that reinterprets the tension of the modern city through a sophisticated jazz lens. Inspired by the theatrical genius of Leonard Bernstein, the score is written for a powerful jazz combo (Trumpet, Trombone, 3 Saxophones, Double Bass, Piano, and Drums), accompanying a cast of singers, dancers, and actors.

The narrative—a contemporary take on classic archetypes—explores the divide between the "West" (the affluent) and the "East" (the struggle). It is a story of love, social friction, and the inevitable clash of cultures, performed in a high-energy, cinematic style.

Why Partner with Us?

• Originality: A unique fusion of Broadway-inspired drama and pure jazz instrumentation.

• Universal Themes: A story that resonates in every major metropolis—from New York to London, Amsterdam to Berlin.

• Artistic Vision: A work that combines raw, street-level energy with the technical rigor of a composer published by Universal Edition Vienna.

Creative Scope

We are currently entering the development phase. We are looking for production partners, theater directors, and artistic venues to collaborate on:

• Staging & Scenography: Bringing the "Canal" universe to life.

• Cast Development: Recruiting performers with both acting and jazz-vocal capabilities.

• Touring & Distribution: Positioning the show for an international run.
