this is adorable i love the usnavi especially!!! even though the cast is young, the talent is better than some high school productions i've seen on youtube.
oh my god this is so adorable these kids are all so talented, it takes some serious gaul to learn these complicated raps and overlapping melodies especially the kid who plays Usnavi, he's going places
Y''all are in middle school? Dang, wish my middle school was this talented. My high school is currently doing a production of In the Heights and these middle schoolers are almost on par. That's insane.
This middle school production is better than the adult and college shows I’ve seen. You guys were on key, In character, good actors, and talented vocalists.
Songs, Strength, and Swimming YESS THE PART WHERE HE LIKE RIFFS WAS SO GREAT MY HIGH SCHOOL IS DOING THIS PRODUCTION AND OUR BENNY IS HESITANT TO DO BUT THIS LITTLE KID ROCKED IT!!
I’m so jealous when I was in middle school I didn’t have a performing arts program everyone of these kids are super talented and are definitely going places
Omg that was so amazing!! The talent!! Everyone was so crazy talented! The guy who plays usnavi is a mini Lin😆, and the guy playing Benny has an amazing voice!
Anyone notice how at 4:21 the guy dancing at the top jumps down and hits the girl and the girl’s face is like “what the heck”. You can’t just break character like that omg sadly you just have to keep going😂
^ then they probably shouldn't have taken on something like in the heights, a musical that draws so much of its heart and power from racial identity and heritage :)
I would agree with you on this for a high school production or any other production, but it's middle school. They probably didn't want to do the same shows that every middle school does like Seusical or Annie.
@@elisabethjohnson2846 I’m a bit late to this but nowhere in the show does it say that Benny has to be black. They say he’s non-Latino. Every person who plays a character doesn’t have to look exactly the same as the og cast member, as long as it makes sense with the show. Plus, this little kid did amazing.
My middle school did did so much better than this we had an actual pit orchestra and we had buildings that people could climb on and Janet decal aka Carla came to our show BOOM
Hahayouthought okay... congrats no need to hate on them your school probably has the funds to put on that type of show not everyone is that lucky. This production is amazing for a middle school
Any one else find it kinda sweet how they had to change a couple of the lyrics?
"I never win anything"
"I got more dough than all the banks in Tokyo
Bimble Bury "and son pull your pants up" instead of "pull your damn pants up"
Bimble Bury Right?! It was so adorable 😂❤❤ They all did so well! ❤❤

omg the guy who plays usnavi is literally a mini lin.
Angelica Schuyler HONESLTY

im suprised that no has complained complained that the leads are white. hahaha
bless u i was about to
galactipup at least "that little white kids is gonna know what a Puerto Rican flag is"
maybe it's because it's a middle school production lol
^ then they probably shouldn't have taken on something like in the heights, a musical that draws so much of its heart and power from racial identity and heritage :)

SONNY IS SO CUTE
ITS LITTLE KIDS OMG AWWW
This is so cute omg 😂
最高！💓
Yall sleeping on benny
WHERE IS THIS SCHOOL !!!
It’s the top performing arts middle school in Los Angeles lol
millikan middle school in the valley of los angeles
sherman oaks
benny and usnavi
i ship it #bromance
I don't think these kids should have taken this show on because it is mostly powered by its heritage and racial power :)
In The Whites
more like in the whites
cast a white benny..okay
Elisabeth Johnson isn’t Benny supposed to be a non Latino tho...?
skylerthemedjack - yes but c jack isn’t white with blonde hair..not hate on the kid but for a better casting i would have chose someone else
@@elisabethjohnson2846 it's a middle school production they dont care they're just having fun
@@elisabethjohnson2846 I’m a bit late to this but nowhere in the show does it say that Benny has to be black. They say he’s non-Latino.

Please stop doing shows written for people of color with white kids. I know these are just middle schoolers but it’s really disrespectful.
It ain't that deep
Is Sonny a girl?
RynTheSimmer Awkward no
My middle school did did so much better than this we had an actual pit orchestra and we had buildings that people could climb on and Janet decal aka Carla came to our show BOOM
Hahayouthought okay... congrats no need to hate on them your school probably has the funds to put on that type of show not everyone is that lucky. This production is amazing for a middle school
