Spielberg worked around ‘West Side Story’ star’s high school musical schedule

West Side Story star Rachel Zegler is sharing her experience of making her film debut role as María in the forthcoming Steven Spielberg remake of the 1957 classic. The musical centers around star-crossed lovers from rival factions who are divided both by competing New York gangs and racial barriers.

Despite the production for the film taking place prior to the COVID-19 pandemic⏤over the summer of 2019 and largely in New York City⏤Spielberg was very graciously accommodating when it came to being flexible with his shooting in order to work around Zegler’s preexisting schedule.
