For me personally, In the Heigjts was super fun to watch, but two days later I could barely remember anything that happened. I feel like the plot was somewhat strung together with fishing like and was backed by really colorful, creative, engaging musical numbers. Overall I gave it 7/10.

West Side Story was technically much better. Maybe a bit less fun, but still very fun, and I think the plot was carried out decidedly better. Overall an 8/10.

I prefer West Side Story, but I totally support people with the inverse opinion
