Wild West Side Story

Act I
"Somethin' Comin'"

by Wild Bill Blackerby & Piney Woods

Wild West Side Story is based on the musical West Side Story by Robert Wise & Jerome Robbins, which in turn was based on the play Romeo & Juliet by Willy Shakespeare.

 

In the year 1881 in a booming town in New Mexico, an influx of Mexican Vaqueros have come to make their fortune. This doesn't sit well with the locals, a group called the Regulators, who run the town. The law is a pair of useless yokels, Marshal Shrank and Deputy Krupke, who barely keep order.

The Regulators were once run by Tony and his best friend Riff, but Tony has decided to get out of town feelin' it's played out. The Vaqueros are run by Bernardo with his cousin Chico. They had come up from over the border to live the dream, but the town had been settled years before and there was not enough wealth to support two powerful groups.

 

We begin our tale as Bernardo's sister Maria comes to town. Tony begins makin' his plans to strike out and find a new fortune. The rival gangs are beginning to decide how to cut the other one out.

And thus the song and dance begins…

 

Scenario
Control of the town between the two factions is movin' to all out war. Random meetings become standoffs. When a gang of Vaqueros find a lone Regulator in an alley they begin chasing him - right into a pack of Regulators. A shootout begins until Marshal Schrank & Deputy Krupke put a stop to it.

Ammo
10 pistol, 4+ shotgun

Starting Position
Standing at table, repeatedly snapping your fingers, two pistols safely holstered loaded with five rounds each.

Shotgun safely staged on table, at least four shotshells on your person.

Procedure
When ready, sing "Somethin' comin', maybe tonight!"

At the buzzer, engage each of the three Vaqueros and three Regulators at least once each with ten rounds, no double-taps.

Use shotgun to engage the Marshal and the Deputy. Reload and repeat. That'll teach 'em to butt in.
