First, Anita, angry at the time, tells the rest of the jets to tell Tony that Maria, his one and only love, had died. When Tony gets the news, he is overcome with sadness. So he goes out, and practically commits suicide by yelling for Chino, a member of the opposite gang, the sharks, to come and shoot him. Suddenly he sees Maria, realizes she isn't dead, and they hug. And just as they hug, Chino comes out and shoots Tony in Maria's arms.

Is there a relationship between the dramas of ancient Greek tragedy and the writings of William Shakespeare or the musical drama West Side Story?

hey there! I'm in 8th grade and i took general music this semester and we watched west side story. my teacher explained to us that the play romeo and Juliet is similar to west side story because tony thinks maria is dead and he wants to die. Juliet thinks romeo is dead and she kills herself. then, maria sees tony dead, and tells them to kill her too, like romeo drinking poison when he sees Juliet. hope this answers your question! p.s. I'm not positive about who died first in romeo and Juliet, but i know that is how they are similar.
