This is my FAVORITE performance of all time! I regularly come back to it over the years and cry EVERY time I see Arielle Jacobs perform it. Absolute perfection. And as a first generation Latina in the U.S, I feel every word of the lyrics. Thank you Arielle for sharing your beautiful gifts with us
Omg this is so beautiful, so much emotion. Arielle, you do what all good actors and actresses should, tell a story. You don’t even need costumes, you face tells it all. That is truly amazing. I wish I could see as Jasmine, or just in general, but I did see Adam, he was also truly wonderful. Both of you are. Just wow.
Practice every day and look for good teachers. Your voice needs to be strong to do 8 shows a week! See as much theater as you can. And, don't be afraid to put yourself out there!
This is my street I smile at the faces I've known all my life, They regard me with pride. And everyone's sweet, They say, "You're going places!" So how can I say That while I was away, I had so much to hide? Hey guys, it's me! The biggest disappointment You know- The kid couldn't hack it, She's back, and She's walking real slow. Welcome home, Just breathe, Sigue andando el camino Por toda su vida. Nina: Respira. Just breathe- Y si pierdes mis huellas Que Dios te bendiga. Respira. As the radio plays Old forgotten boleros, I think of the days When the city was mine. I remember the praise, Community: Ay, the adoro, te quiero. Te adoro, The neighborhood waved, And said, "Nina, be brave, Te quiero, And you're gonna be fine!" Respira! And maybe it's me, Respira! But it all seems like Lifetimes ago, So what do I say To these faces That I used to know? "Hey, I'm home?" Neighbor Lady: Mira, Nina, Hey, Lady & Community: No me preocupo por ella. They're not worried about me. Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella. They are all counting on me to succeed. Ella si da la talla, Nina: Community: I am the one who made it out. Aaah! The one who always Aaah! Made the grade. Aaah! But maybe I should Mira, Have just stayed home, Nina. When I was a child I stayed wide awake, Climbed to the highest place On every fire escape- Restless to climb. Respira, I got every scholarship, Saved every dollar, The first to go to college, How do I tell them why Respira, I'm coming back home With my eyes on Aaah! The horizon, Aaah! Just me and the GWB, Asking, gee Nina, What'll you be? Straighten the spine. Smile for the neighbors. Everything's fine. Everything's cool. The standard reply, "Lots of tests, Lots of papers." Smile, wave goodbye, And pray to the sky, Oh God, And what will my parent say? Nina, Can I go in there and say, Nina, "I know that I'm Letting you down, " Abuela Claudia: Nina, Just breathe
Hey Arielle. I'm singing this song but are having some trouble with the top notes, do you have any tips on how to do it, because you are doing such a amzing job? Big fan.

LMAO I ALSO SING THE BACKUP PARTS DURING THIS SONG
Maya Vanderpool me too lol
Wow, her voice and face is so full of expression!
Spoken like someone who wishes they could go and watch broadway instead of watching shitty bootleg recordings
The "Oh God" at 3:12 is so incredible!! Idk why I just love that part sooo much
Her diction is lovely.
I'm listening to this at least once a week. I adore her voice. Marvellous.
lol same
Is nobody going to talk about how Arielle did the other parts of the song at 1:45 ???
She pulled it off though!
My class didnt perform it but we did it for fun me and a girl did it wont be long now and had to be both Usnavi and Sonny
This is my FAVORITE performance of all time! I regularly come back to it over the years and cry EVERY time I see Arielle Jacobs perform it. Absolute perfection. And as a first generation Latina in the U.S, I feel every word of the lyrics. Thank you Arielle for sharing your beautiful gifts with us
Arielle you have a beautiful voice. Besides being beautiful
Omg this is so beautiful, so much emotion. Arielle, you do what all good actors and actresses should, tell a story. You don’t even need costumes, you face tells it all. That is truly amazing.
I wish I could see as Jasmine, or just in general, but I did see Adam, he was also truly wonderful. Both of you are. Just wow.
I've seen this video a million times and it still gives me the feels
Saw her as Nina in Seattle and been in love with her since!

Best part is 2:16
What a great voice
ahora creo en el cielo
hey this happened 3 yrs ago today!
This is my street
I smile at the faces
I've known all my life,
They regard me with pride.
And everyone's sweet,
They say, "You're going places!"
So how can I say
That while I was away,
I had so much to hide?
Hey guys, it's me!
The biggest disappointment
You know-
The kid couldn't hack it,
She's back, and
She's walking real slow.
Welcome home,
Just breathe,
Sigue andando el camino
Por toda su vida. Nina:
Respira. Just breathe-
Y si pierdes mis huellas
Que Dios te bendiga.
Respira.
As the radio plays
Old forgotten boleros,
I think of the days
When the city was mine.
I remember the praise, Community:
Ay, the adoro, te quiero. Te adoro,
The neighborhood waved,
And said, "Nina, be brave, Te quiero,
And you're gonna be fine!" Respira!
And maybe it's me, Respira!
But it all seems like
Lifetimes ago,
So what do I say
To these faces
That I used to know?
"Hey, I'm home?"
Neighbor Lady:
Mira, Nina,
Hey,
Lady & Community:
No me preocupo por ella.
They're not worried about me.
Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella.
They are all counting on me to succeed.
Ella si da la talla,
Nina: Community:
I am the one who made it out. Aaah!
The one who always Aaah!
Made the grade. Aaah!
But maybe I should Mira,
Have just stayed home, Nina.
When I was a child
I stayed wide awake,
Climbed to the highest place
On every fire escape-
Restless to climb. Respira,
I got every scholarship,
Saved every dollar,
The first to go to college,
How do I tell them why Respira,
I'm coming back home
With my eyes on Aaah!
The horizon, Aaah!
Just me and the GWB,
Asking, gee Nina,
What'll you be?
Straighten the spine.
Smile for the neighbors.
Everything's fine.
Everything's cool.
The standard reply,
"Lots of tests,
Lots of papers."
Smile, wave goodbye,
And pray to the sky,
Oh God,
And what will my parent say? Nina,
Can I go in there and say, Nina,
"I know that I'm
Letting you down, "
Abuela Claudia:
Nina,
Just breathe
WHOEVER WHEN "ooo" AT THE END IS ME
Hey Arielle.
I'm singing this song but are having some trouble with the top notes, do you have any tips on how to do it, because you are doing such a amzing job?
Big fan.
Seeing Arielle with Peter Dinklage on Game a Thrones: The Musical brought me here.
