About the show
CAPA return to the FUSE International stage with the electrifying West Side Story, a blistering collision of love, loyalty, and rivalry set to one of the most iconic scores in musical theatre history.
Razor-sharp choreography, soaring vocals, and raw emotional stakes bring the streets of New York alive as two gangs battle for territory and identity, and two young lovers dare to dream beyond the lines drawn around them. A bold, electrifying showcase marking CAPA’s return to the festival with their Pro-Team, and a celebration of young performers at the height of their craft.

The Pro-Team is its elite performance company: of current students and Alumni. An ensemble of advanced students working at a near-industry level. They rehearse like a company, think like creatives, and perform with a polished, professional edge, bringing ambition, precision, and serious stage energy to every production.
