Well, sometimes dreams do come true and now might be that time, with Stephen Spielberg announcing a casting call far and wide in a search for a new Maria to star in his upcoming remake of the movie.
Casting director Cindy Tolan's Office said Spielberg is looking for a Latino/Hispanic female between the ages of 15 to 25 years old who can sing and has a strong dance background for the 20th Century Fox production.
No officials tryout dates have been announced locally, but interested Maria's should submit a photo and video of themselves singing to westsidestorycastingsearch@gmail.com.
The original stage musical centered around warring gangs in 1950’s New York and Maria's story of loving a man her family doesn't want her to marry. The story is loosely based on William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
