Jason Fraley interviews Broadway star Shereen Pimentel, who played Maria in the 2020 Broadway revival of 鈥淲est Side Story鈥� and returns to this role this weekend in a special new production by the Washington National Opera at The Lyric in Baltimore, Maryland on May 8-10, followed by the Strathmore in North Bethesda, Maryland on May 14-15. They discuss how the show's timeless themes of Sharks vs. Jets can heal our divisive political climate that caused the WNO to leave the Kennedy Center after 55 years. (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")
