West Side King

Lots of fun-- great costumes and music. Later, I thought about how the urban version might go...think Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story.

Family lives in nice neighborhood and has a son. Uncle abuses son and father ends up dead. Guilt-ridden son runs away and is taken in by older mixed-race gay Jewish couple. They all live the carefree hippie lifestyle until the former girlfriend shows up with a "you want somma this you gotta come home and get a job" attitude. Of course he moves back only now the place is a ghetto and the nasty uncle is the head gangbanger. Son is elected Mayor, cleans up 'hood and has his own kid. The circle of life.
