Разница в подходах - как творческих, так и производственных - к экранизации Вестсайдской истории
внятно отслеживается, если сравнить одну и ту же музыкально-хореографическую мизансцену в двух версиях,
разделённых шестью десятками лет.

Boy, boy, crazy boy,
Get cool, boy!
Got a rocket in your pocket,
Keep coolly cool, boy!
Don't get hot,
'Cause man, you got
Some high times ahead.
Take it slow and Daddy-O,
You can live it up and die in bed!
Boy, boy, crazy boy!
Stay loose, boy!
Breeze it, buzz it, easy does it.
Turn off the juice, boy!
Go man, go,
But not like a yo-yo schoolboy.
Just play it cool, boy,
Real cool.
Bernstein/Sondheim
This song is known for its fugal treatment of a jazz figure,
described by one writer as "possibly the most complex instrumental music heard on Broadway to date"
