Carson Graham "mi mi mi mi dani I have a question" literally the entire cast. Lmao she knows everything there is to know. I, still trying to figure out how she knew benny and Nina slept together
I fucking cry every time. This is one of my favourite songs in the whole musical cause it encapsulates the feeling of changing immigrant culture today so exactly. It's like this perfect snapshot. It's so fucking bittersweet, when you realise/witness the celebration that is just a total release of pent up emotions, and everyone is giving it all for that one last night, yet it's punctuated by Vanessa and freakin' SONNY who both don't really know how to feel, who don't want to let it all go and who want to leave so bad... the line "We are powerless, we are powerless" is just so... powerful. And when Usnavi sings his solo bit "maybe we're powerless, a corner full of foreigners" and "can we sing so loud and raucous they can hear us across the bridge in East Secaucus" just hits me so hard because that just encapsulates it all so well. The feeling of diaspora, of not knowing where you belong, of being estranged in a corner of a country that you will never fully integrate into, and the dying of what culture you do have/have managed to hold on to. That burning feeling of being powerless, yet refusing to let it die. Fucking amazing.
And if you watched the movie they changed the lyrics that made me sad because when Carla and daniella said “everything changes today…usnavi leaveing today..off to a better place” and when Benny said “ everything changes today..goodbye mr.Rosario…im taking over the barrio” then Carla and Dani said “we’re leaving the barrio”
No lie, this is the show that made be want to be proud and become more a part of my Cuban heritage. I didn't realize what it meant to be hispanic until this show and I became very proud! LA BANDERA CUBANA!
i love how the girls in the back hug when usnavi says "maybe this is our last night together" it mustve been so hard know this was their last night together.
This has got to be the only live concert/performance where I find the people singing along to the songs endearing instead of annoying. Like, you can hear it in the video. Every single lyric? The people know it. Where to come in, where to laugh, where to sing loudly, shout, or answer back... it's awesome and precious. This show has truly touched many.
I cannot even with the perfectness of this cast. They seriously look like they are having the time of their life an would love to be up there with them!
Can I admit that it is going to take every last ounce of my self-control not to bring a giant Dominican flag to wave during the song when the movie comes out I'm also going to have to control myself not to bring my Dominican fur ball Cujo with me honestly he's the best souvenir I ever brought home and that is including bringing home bottles of Dominican rum LOL XD
Cathy A find you the right people, and you good. Rep your city proud! Let that flag fly! If others don’t like it? Give them the F you! Sneak that fur ball in.
You should go watch it with your flag embracing you over your shoulders 🇩🇴 (Although I suppose we're all gonna have to wait a little more for that to happen)
i cant help smiling during this whole song and performance, lin crafted such amazing music and the actors brought it to life and i just love it so much
I can`t stop watching the "We all know that he loooooves you!", "Haven`t you notice you get all your coffee for free!" and "I heard you and Nina went for a roll in the hay!" parts. I love the way Andrea delivered those lines. And I love Carla`s voice in "Look at Vanessa`s face!"
Wow this brings back memories, I flew over from Scotland to be at this, the atmosphere in the theatre was the most amazing ever. The ultimate party ,everyone had a ball
Maybe you’re right, Sonny, call in the coroners! Maybe we’re powerless, a corner full of foreigners Maybe this neighborhood’s changing forever Maybe tonight is our last night together, however! How do you want to face it? Do you wanna waste it, when the end is so close you can taste it? Y’all could cry with your head in the sand I’m a fly this flag that I got in my hand!
Carla is too cute for this world Dani is very dramatic Sonny cares so much for others and wants to be a great friend and be their for Pete Pete just wants to help people with his art and be the best friend he can be for Sonny Piragua just wants his business to go well These are my favorite characters and they are just as important as the other characters.
andrea and janet have the sweetest and lovely chemistry together. my two favs of the musical. andrea outstanding for this number. Remarkable musical, knew it and saw it twice almost 12 years ago. saw it once with lin and other with javier.
My favourite song in the musical. One of the best group musical numbers in Musical Theatre History. it's right up there with Tonight Quintet, Masquerade, La Vie Boheme and One Day More, for me at least.
This may be a stretch, but you know how there's the little reprise bit before Atencion, and the last phrase they sing is 'la bandera Cubana'? Well I'm pretty sure that Abuela Claudia is from Cuba (she says so in Pacienca y Fe), so suddenly that last line becomes all foreshadowy :(
that’s exactly it!!! also, the last lines of the song (not the reprise) are “alza la bandera...” and so on, and they get through DR, PR, and Mexico, and then don’t finish and say Cuba. because the lady from Cuba just died!! more foreshadowing for ya
Nala Hodjat yeah like a 4th cuban. abyeta claudia was 1) full cuban and 2) one of the most important and loved people on the block. just accept the symbolism lmao
This show is so amazing! I'm playing Sonny in my high school's production of In The Heights and it's our closing weekend. This is the best musical of the decade!
I'm watching this while in vaction in the Dominican republic and I saw the musical the night before ifl left for here I have never felt so much pride in being Domican as felt while watching this :D
I love how enthusuastic everyone is in this performance, especially Daniela, I mean they all sound almost exactly like the recording, dare I say better.
I love how Lin just randomly pulls out flags from his back pocket and also her voice sounds so good, and also Lin’s face at the beginning 00:13 and onward when she is singing makes me happy, and Karla as a character is adorable
I cannot WAIT to see this scene in the movie, it's gonna have me feeling so many feels!! (I also really like the little transition into Atencion at the end)
When Lin pulled a huge ass DR flag out of his back pocket it literally looked like he did some magic and just made it appear out of thin air from the camera angle that this is filmed at.
Thanks for sharing this! I didn't know about In the Heights when it was on Broadway and won the Tonys! Ever since the movie came out, I really wanted to get a feel for the original Broadway production.
In the heights doesn’t even show Honduran culture and I’m not from New York but I’ve never felt more represented in a musical and movie than I do with this movie.
Do you realize that Usnavi was going to leave Sonny, who is 16 and Usnavi is his legal guardian. And he thinks that money is going to help. What would have happened to Sonny, would he have gone to live with Dani and Carla or Pete. Or would he be taken by social services? I feel so bad for my bby Sonny his only family (I think) was leaving him.
I though the movie cast did really well. Plus, in terms of original cast members that appeared in the movie, Lin was piragüero, Chris Jackson was the Mr. Softee man, Olga Merdiz reprised her role as Abuela Claudia, Seth Stewart (Graffiti Pete) was the bartender in The Club scene, and the late, great Doreen Montalvo was one of Nina's neighbors in "Breathe." Janet Decal (Carla) made a voice cameo in the title song saying "I've never been north of 96th street," and Javier Muñoz made a voice cameo in "The Club" as the guy asking Vanessa to dance. Priscilla Lopez made a cameo as Camila, albeit only in pictures since she isn't alive in the film.
I feel like Peggy and Piragua guy have the same purpose, they're both very small roles yet everyone loves them
Ryan Fleur But Piragua guy actually gets a song.
Carla and Peggy
*AnD pEgGy*
@Yellow yeah that's what I think too
Lol true
"I'm chelieeeeeedominicarican... but I always say I'm from quEENS" iconic
Kwins*
DominiCUrican!
Chile* je
Ikkk
Carla steals the show for me
critics: the most important characters in In The Heights are Nina, Benny, Usnavi, and Vanessa
everyone else: DANI
True, so true
Carson Graham "mi mi mi mi dani I have a question" literally the entire cast. Lmao she knows everything there is to know. I, still trying to figure out how she knew benny and Nina slept together
Me: SONNY
Mani same!she knows everything happening in the whole neighbourhood within seconds. Arguably the most underrated character in the show.
me: CARLA
I thought it was so funny when she said "Ask Me Why" everyone was like WHY!?
Mandy looks like a lost child sitting politely in her chair omg I love her
she's adorable
True. Also she is so cute!!
Same though
JUST ADORABLE
Same she’s so amazing 🥺🥰
I fucking cry every time. This is one of my favourite songs in the whole musical cause it encapsulates the feeling of changing immigrant culture today so exactly. It's like this perfect snapshot.

Fucking amazing.
That's why the opening number gives me chills. "In the Heights, I hang my flag up on display. It reminds me that I came from miles away".
Averyl Fong This is the best comment I have ever seen on TH-cam.
amen
And if you watched the movie they changed the lyrics that made me sad because when Carla and daniella said “everything changes today…usnavi leaveing today..off to a better place” and when Benny said “ everything changes today..goodbye mr.Rosario…im taking over the barrio” then Carla and Dani said “we’re leaving the barrio”
It made me sad when they didn’t put it in the movie because it’s my favorite lines of the musical
"Went for a roll in the hay HAY!" is my favorite part. Benny looks so mortified
Elizabeth Kim So much PAIN
He is slowly dying inside
Omg i used to think the line was "went for a bullride"
When the time comes, they really need to do a reunion for Hamilton and bring everyone from the original cast back.
Marlena B yesssssss pleaseeeee
Marlena B And I'll pay a million dollars to come see it
+Agnes A I'd pay 96,000 dollars lol
Yeeeesss
Lyn Marie ahh I see what ya did there
No lie, this is the show that made be want to be proud and become more a part of my Cuban heritage. I didn't realize what it meant to be hispanic until this show and I became very proud! LA BANDERA CUBANA!
Same exept la bandera Mexicana
Me too!
-A fellow Cuban
La bandera de Puerto Rico is my proud flag. VIVA LATINOAMERICA
This actually brought me to tears because it makes me so proud, LA BANDERA CUBANA
R Othon my flags are the chile and venezuelan flaags, im proud of latinoamericaaaaaaaaa
i love how the girls in the back hug when usnavi says "maybe this is our last night together" it mustve been so hard know this was their last night together.
i love how carla was laughing so much after dani said the "you get all your coffee for free" bit
aw just look at mandy sitting on her chair for the whole song she's so adorable
I KNOW I LOVE HER
she wasn't a part of the song, that's why
@@aj_san3788 yeah I know, Nina was finding Abuela passed away in her bed during this song.-
@@foxtatertot I hate you /j
Lin might be the only person I know that keeps a whole full sized flag in his pocket.
AND his Usnavi hat
i get chills every time andrea burns opens her mouth wow
Erin Kelley you mean BURNS? Okay I'll get out.
Erin Kelley she a fireball that’s for sure!
I love the joint Sonny/ Vanessa "We are powerless"
Lin sipping water and looking all proud in the background *insert smiley with heart eyes*
Carla is such a sweetheart I can't even deal.
She's like Peggy, a precious bean that needs to be protected
this is me exactly
Ikr, this little Smol baby!♥️
6:30 when his voice cracks like hes going to cry :(
nooooooo😭😭😭😭
I love how he changed the lyric from "Vanessa" to "mi gente"!!! @ 7:12
I don’t speak Spanish but I’m learning. What does it mean?
@@kpapa07 it means "my people"
Jonathan Tuala thanks so much
thank you
Carla's little "why" gives me life 💞
This has got to be the only live concert/performance where I find the people singing along to the songs endearing instead of annoying. Like, you can hear it in the video. Every single lyric? The people know it. Where to come in, where to laugh, where to sing loudly, shout, or answer back... it's awesome and precious. This show has truly touched many.
I can't be the only one who's favorite character is Carla
North of Sophia I’m not alone!!!! Yay!!!
North of Sophia She's like peggy ❤️
I love her, she's so innocent
Or piragua guy
Ooohhhh... me,me,me,me!! :P
when he says "maybe this is our last night together" looking at his old crew, WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO MY HEART LIN-MANUEL
I cannot even with the perfectness of this cast. They seriously look like they are having the time of their life an would love to be up there with them!
Can I admit that it is going to take every last ounce of my self-control not to bring a giant Dominican flag to wave during the song when the movie comes out I'm also going to have to control myself not to bring my Dominican fur ball Cujo with me honestly he's the best souvenir I ever brought home and that is including bringing home bottles of Dominican rum LOL XD
Cathy A find you the right people, and you good. Rep your city proud! Let that flag fly! If others don’t like it? Give them the F you! Sneak that fur ball in.
bring your flag to the movie!
You should go watch it with your flag embracing you over your shoulders 🇩🇴 (Although I suppose we're all gonna have to wait a little more for that to happen)
Leonardo Pontes yah I’m really sad about that
I have all the intention to sing along Dani! bring your flag and I bring mine :D
2:45 The way she walks away... UNNFF KICK MY FACE
Marty McFly she could step on me and I would thank her
if she stabbed me i’d prolly ask for the knife as a souvenir
If she stepped on my face, I'd apologize for messing up her shoes
man Andrea's voice never ceases to impress me
i cant help smiling during this whole song and performance, lin crafted such amazing music and the actors brought it to life and i just love it so much
This cast is the best
The way Lin's voice cracks on "maybe tonight is our last night together" UGH
Chris's face @5:15-5:19 and then the little shocked face he makes after that when he gets bumped
Love how they treated it like an actual performance
I really hope they have a reunion concert next year for their 10 year anniversary
YESYESYESYESYES
They did at Broadwaycon
when Lin whipped out the flag though
I can`t stop watching the "We all know that he loooooves you!", "Haven`t you notice you get all your coffee for free!" and "I heard you and Nina went for a roll in the hay!" parts. I love the way Andrea delivered those lines. And I love Carla`s voice in "Look at Vanessa`s face!"
“From Puerto Rico to Santa Domingo, wherever we go we rep our people” gives me chills every time I listen to it
*whips out Italian, Ecuadorian, Colombian, Spanish and American flags* ESA BONITA BANDERA
Contiene mi alma entera! *sostiene bandera Chilena*
Pretty sure those "italian" flags are Mexican lol
@@attabooii your right they aren't italian.
Uhm? my flag isn't Italian 😁
Am I the only one that thought Carla was a little girl because of her voice
It's just like Peggy.
Me when I first heard this song
But she's a mommy now
I think she’s supposed to be a teen or pre-teen
@@emmalob1992 i don't think so, she's dating daniella and she's in her 30's in the show so I imagine they're supposed to be around the same age
Wow this brings back memories, I flew over from Scotland to be at this, the atmosphere in the theatre was the most amazing ever. The ultimate party ,everyone had a ball
The dress that Daniela is beautiful 😻
She is slaying. She's a queen.
"Abuela claudia won the lotto.."
*PULLS FLAG Out Of ThIN AiR!*
Maybe you’re right, Sonny, call in the coroners!
Maybe we’re powerless, a corner full of foreigners
Maybe this neighborhood’s changing forever
Maybe tonight is our last night together, however!
How do you want to face it?
Do you wanna waste it, when the end is so close you can taste it?
Y’all could cry with your head in the sand
I’m a fly this flag that I got in my hand!
Carla is too cute for this world
Dani is very dramatic
Sonny cares so much for others and wants to be a great friend and be their for Pete
Pete just wants to help people with his art and be the best friend he can be for Sonny
Piragua just wants his business to go well
These are my favorite characters and they are just as important as the other characters.
The energy in this song adds 10 years to my lifespan
Andrea is so freaking underrated. So talented and her enunciation 😀😀
andrea and janet have the sweetest and lovely chemistry together. my two favs of the musical. andrea outstanding for this number. Remarkable musical, knew it and saw it twice almost 12 years ago. saw it once with lin and other with javier.
Why is this one of the only videos on TH-cam of Lin singing this song live with the cast :-(
"Why In The Heights obc cast is best"
best song in the show, easily
My favourite song in the musical. One of the best group musical numbers in Musical Theatre History. it's right up there with Tonight Quintet, Masquerade, La Vie Boheme and One Day More, for me at least.
love the cheering for Andrea
This may be a stretch, but you know how there's the little reprise bit before Atencion, and the last phrase they sing is 'la bandera Cubana'? Well I'm pretty sure that Abuela Claudia is from Cuba (she says so in Pacienca y Fe), so suddenly that last line becomes all foreshadowy :(
Damn that's not a stretch, it's a good observation that's going to make me cry now
Eliza Keating
that’s exactly it!!! also, the last lines of the song (not the reprise) are “alza la bandera...” and so on, and they get through DR, PR, and Mexico, and then don’t finish and say Cuba. because the lady from Cuba just died!! more foreshadowing for ya
MakeshiftPicture But Carla’s Cuban too.
Nala Hodjat yeah like a 4th cuban. abyeta claudia was 1) full cuban and 2) one of the most important and loved people on the block. just accept the symbolism lmao
I'm happy to be at least 1/4 of carla's nationalities (I'm chilean) :D
Dia Kuun wenaaaaaa csm
I’m Cuban :)
Tanuki-san 00 saaamme viva chile 🇨🇱
Tanuki-san 00 I’m Cuban.
Ahhhh!!! I love hearing the audience singing along to the best lines, because that’s exactly what I do all the time!
That line "let's have a carnival" at 1:08 is killer
This show is so amazing! I'm playing Sonny in my high school's production of In The Heights and it's our closing weekend. This is the best musical of the decade!
I'm watching this while in vaction in the Dominican republic and I saw the musical the night before ifl left for here I have never felt so much pride in being Domican as felt while watching this :D

Look at Vanessa's face! (No ligit tho look at Karen's face when they say that. She's so adorable)
And one second later she got out off the character and started dancing. Love her!
I am going to be playing Piragua Guy in July here in New Jersey and I cannot wait for this song!!!!!!!!!!! Chills every freaking time!
This makes me so proud to be Dominican 😂👏🇩🇴
THIS IS SO MUCH FUN
I love how Lin just randomly pulls out flags from his back pocket and also her voice sounds so good, and also Lin’s face at the beginning 00:13 and onward when she is singing makes me happy, and Karla as a character is adorable
Sonny's claiming Nina was his because she was his babysitter first and Chris being like "I don't care" is so good HAHAHAH
I cannot WAIT to see this scene in the movie, it's gonna have me feeling so many feels!! (I also really like the little transition into Atencion at the end)
Everyone losing it when piragua guy starts vocalizing is just *chefs kiss*
Props on the steady hand filming! That's quite a zoom! Thank you for your mad skills and sharing this with us all.
I'm ready for a Broadway revival with this cast..
The girl in the crowd that sing along to "you get all your coffee for free" is a mood
Man, Andrea Burns is having the time of her life here and in the musical during this song
This gave me chills I'm shook
❤❤❤❤❤ dese lord , is so beautiful to SEE this song in real ❤❤❤❤ LOS AMOOOO
This is the ultimate party. So much fun
THIS SONG WILL BE MY ANTHEM!!! PLAY THIS EVERYWHERE!!!
Im so glad I found this clip. I just watched the recent "In the Heights" movie. And witnessing this reunion is such a *chef's kiss.
This song makes me so damn happy!!
Just casually came back here to watch Andrea own the stage
This song makes my heart soar every time
When Lin pulled a huge ass DR flag out of his back pocket it literally looked like he did some magic and just made it appear out of thin air from the camera angle that this is filmed at.
This song is going to hit so hard in the movie after Alabanza
Maybe tonight is our last night together, gets me everytime :(
Thanks for sharing this! I didn't know about In the Heights when it was on Broadway and won the Tonys! Ever since the movie came out, I really wanted to get a feel for the original Broadway production.
4:20 "P'arriba esa bandera!, alzala donde quiera!"
My heart: OMG I AM SO F*CKING PROUD OF BEING LATINAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
The audience is fantastic!
i'm in love with benny
Haley Breiding so is Nina
arent we all

Sonny and Usnavi live with Abuela. Yes it’s canon, it’s literally in the script
Space Ace Sonny has a mom. Lin confirmed it on Twitter.

“WE’RE FLYING TO DR TOMORROW!!”
*pulls flag out of ass*
Am I the only one that started learning Spanish because of this musical
Damn i really wish I got to see this musical live on broadway way back then.
I CRY EVERY TIME!
oh god I cry everytime watching this performance... Lin is amazing
Lin Manuel Miranda is a dork and I love him so much
Lins goofy dancing is just the cherry on top of this 🥰
The end reminds me of 'My Shot'
Tears are streaming down my cheeks :'-)
Why is Carla so cute! UGHHH
Vanessa's face at 5:20 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Who else is here after watching In The Heights movie?
Just finished playing Usnavi in a local production. Great show!
