Lin tells the story of being on his first date with his wife (Vanessa) while in the middle of writing In the Heights. He called Tommy Kail afterwards to see him all about the amazing girl he met and Tommy told him to “hang the phone the f**k up and write the Benny and Nina song, right NOW!” …and that’s how “When you’re home” was born.
In the original Broadway production, while Lin played Usnavi, Christopher Jackson played Benny, so Lin got him to play the ice cream man. The actress who played abuela Claudia is the only actor to reprise her role from the stage to the screen.
Super fun fact: In the original “In the Heights” on Broadway, Lin-Manuel Miranda played Usnavi and Christopher Jackson was Benny 🥰 so they passed the torch but still had cameos, you gotta love it! Also, Abuela Claudia is the abuela we wish we had 😭 Also also, Sonny’s dad-surprise Marc Anthony cameo! Boooom!
The little girl running around during Breathe is supposed to represent a young Nina I think, at home and at peace in her city while she grows up. Contrasting with who she is now, feeling like a failure and so far from her home. Love this movie!
This is probably one of my favorite movie ever. I’m Brazilian and live in Brazil, musical theater it’s not a big thing here like it is over in the US. 99% the musicals we have are translations, and in the state I live in is almost impossible to have stage performances for theater, so all contact I have with musical is through movies and I loved In The Heights so much.
mano SIM!!! e eu simplesmente amei o feeling latino de todo o musical e as pequenas referencias do nosso país durante o filme (mesmo q foram bem poucaskk)
@@duda_gabbi Tem uma bandeirinha do Brasil laaaaa no fundinho, mas tá lá. Eu sei de gente que br que mora no EUA e fala que lá é difícil ser brasileiro até na comunidade latina já que a gente não fala espanhol, a identificação por linguagem meio que se perde

Tive o privilégio de assistir uma versão brasileira PERFEITA de in the heights por 15 reais aqui no rio. Queria ter ido todos os dias, pq tava muito, mas muito bom
I could be wrong (so feel free to correct me), because I haven't rewatched in a while, but my assumption with Abuela not taking her meds was that it was a matter of med rationing. Try to spread the meds out to make them last longer because of the cost. We already knew that money had been tight (the whole scene with the dry cleaner).
@@MoviesinDepth in the lyrics of one of the songs (i can't remember which one or if they cut the lyrics in the movie,) usnavi says that the paramedics declared that "her heart gave out" because of "a combination of the stress and the heat... why she never took her meds, i'll never understand" it can be assumed that she was either spreading the pills out bc of the cost, or she was just plain stubborn and thought she was tough enough to go without them
Yes this movie was filmed on location In Washington Heights. Also if you haven’t let the credits play through, watch till the very end of the credits for a funny little extra with LMM and Chris Jackson
One of my favorite subtle character details in this film, is the moment Abuela makes the choice to move on, .....she takes the stairs instead of the ramp.
Just letting you know, but I believe the little girl running around the block is a kid version of Nina based on the photos her dad has of her in her office and home.
the actress playing abuela is the same one from the original broadway cast! she's incredible. overall i think the film is good, but they made a lot of changes to the story that i wasn't really a fan of. i liked that they gave more character to usnavi's cousin, but they got rid of some songs that i don't think they should have. for example, there's a song that nina sings after abuela dies that makes me cry every time. you touched on the fact that she practically raised most of the block, and that song really goes into more depth with that. nina also still has a mom in the stage version and she has an awesome song during the dinner scene. i have no idea why they got rid of her character tbh. overall, i think you should definitely listen to the OBC soundtrack. maybe you could even make a video about it? discussing the differences between the stage version and the movie? i'd love to hear your thoughts about the changes that were made :)
yes! i LOVE the musical, and I like the movie but I felt like some of the changes were unnecessary and detracted from the overall story (and the few lyric changes felt really unnatural to me but maybe that's just because I'm used to the original versions lol)
I'm pretty sure I spent a good 5 whole minutes freaking out over Patrick Page's cameo (the old man talking to Abuela Claudia). He played Frollo in the stage production of Hunchback and is currently playing Hades in Hadestown.
i think as a fan of the broadway show i struggled to get behind a lot of the changes they made bc it lost some of what made it so special and heartwarming. they butchered abuela's role and character in the movie compared to the musical, and olga merediz deserved so much more than that, bc i feel like some of the impact of abuela's death is lost due to her lack of screentime and cutting of a few songs and stuff that showed her closeness with usnavi - and it's mainly the way they reveal abuela is the one who won the lottery that lets it down for me. it feels so tacked on at the end compared to in the show, when it gets revealed abuela won the lottery during 'paciencia y fe', which happens after 96,000 and not when she dies like in the movie. the audience reaction is great when the reveal happens, I've seen a couple bootlegs and it always feels like such an important moment. and the thing that pushes usnavi to stay is a mural of abuela claudia on the grating of his store, not of his parents home. idk, i enjoyed the movie for the most part, though - and i get some sacrifices had to be made to make the switch from stage to movie but it just felt a bit incomplete and some things pushed to the side to make room for other stuff. sorry, i'm rambling, i wanna say so much more but maybe i should just do an overdue review of it to get all my thoughts out on it because it will forever frustrate me.
Anthony is in the upcoming Transformers movie The actress who plays Abuela Claudia played the part all through the show's run on Broadway. She dos the singing voice of Abuela in Encanto. Lin spent like nine years on this before it made it to Broadway.
I’ve been waiting for this reaction since this movie came out!! The entire soundtrack is a straight bop! Also Sonny might be my favorite character…he’s just so funny!
In my opinion, this and Tick Tick are the two top Musical Movie adaptions in the past two decades. Can't wait to see your reactions! And yeah, Jon Chu is the director. ...he also got signed to direct the Wicked movie. ....probably because of this, honestly. Also, more deep diving into the Lin Manuelverse: Abuela in this film, Olga Merediz is not only the same actress who played the role on Broadway, she's also the same lady who voiced Abuela Alma in Encanto. :)
@@larry5466 oooh. Good call! I didn't know it was two people! Thanks! (I do find it odd though. They didn't do that with any of the other characters, did they? I think all the others sang their own stuff.)
@@rjenyawd i think sometimes actors don’t feel comfortable singing or their singing voice doesn’t work well enough so they get a separate actor for it. i think all the other characters are the same actor the entire way through
@@larry5466 oh yeah, I know. A lot of musical movies do that. I just think it's weird Disney cast it that way for this one role and not the others. Like....why didn't they just cast Olga to play Alma altogether? It makes me wonder if there was any casting drama there. I know Lin originally wanted to play Bruno.
west side story and in the heights were filmed at the same time and since both take place in NYC there was a point where you could walk from one set to another (there's some vids of lin doing this haha)
The actors said it was freezing on the day they filmed the swimming pool scene. But it sure looked like fun. Have you watched the live performance of “Come from Away” that ones really good if you haven’t.
when i first saw the movie, i was like oh it's good, it's okay i suppose, but then i don't know, something clicked and i was like wait no this is amazng??? i've had the soundtrack on loop for months
So funny bc I could've sworn I've seen you react to this before. Then I remembered it was West Side Story.😅🤣 This movie got me feeling all types of ways. (Me loving Dominicans, Cubains, Mexicans, etc. Even more! *cough cough* AnthonyRamos *cough* )
YES, this is one of my favorite musicals (mainly because I'm latina)...also the songs are a BANGER, "Just Breath" is one of my favorite songs, I relate to it so hard. Thank u for the reaction ^-^
The condensed milk in the coffee is definitely a thing my mom has done this. I'm Puerto Rican from the Bronx so not sure if it's a Caribbean thing or a NYC thing lol
I’m sorry I had to comment on your videos separately, it’s just because I’m a fan but I saw this movie in theaters and absolutely loved it. I don’t know what I’ll be doing if I didn’t see your videos and getting excited whenever I see you! I just love it so much! 😍😍😍🥺
Anthony Ramos just wrapped transformers! My best friend and her husband did the wardrobe and directed it. Even had Michael Bay on set for his advice ❤️
This is pretty much my favorite musical and I tried so hard to like the movie but I just don't like the changes they made. The movie is still okay, but I feel like the musical plotlines/chronology make more sense. I do still think the movie is good overall though (aside from one casting choice but not gonna name names there)
I watched this movie yesterday for the first time, thank to you! I cried at you know what scene and my sister kept telling me "She's happy, don't worry about it." Well, excuse me! I am an emotional person.
**I really hope you see this comment** my bestie has been attending college in new york and she lives in Astoria and said that they filmed this movie in Washington heights! She said it was pretty cool except the multiple nights of fireworks going off for filming haha
Condensed milk or evaporated milk on coffee is real😂😂😂 Also they actually did filmed this at Washington Heights back in 2018. Plus I love your comments 😂😂😂😂
Do you know what I think you would just love watching and reacting to for the channel? The step up series! Especially Step up Revolution since they actually do dance flash mobs in the movie, my favorite one!
That little girl that was running around the whole time was Nina as a little girl. I just don't think you heard it, but I'm pretty sure they explained it
You know i just checked last week if you had watched "in the heights" and when i didn't see it i just assumed oh he must have watched it on his own and so didn't react. You sir are very unpredictable with what you have and haven't seen. Recommendations section: Musical: newsies Movie: scream 5, assuming you are caught up on scream.
I’m ashamed to say that I watched it because of the TikTok trend but I really enjoyed the movie. I watched Scream 5 recently and said “Oh My God that’s Vanessa!”
I love & respect Lin so so much, but the stage play was far better than the movie, proof is the pudding as they say, the stage play won 4 Tonys, with 13 nominations and the movie didn’t get any nominations at all for any type of award 🤷♀️
The stage version is better but awards mean jack shit lol, especially when they knew nominating the movie would invite more of those ridiculous “colorism” claims all over again

That’s amazing! Thank you so much for this bit of info! As someone who was in a production of in the heights, this is very cool!
the fact that i was shocked that you haven’t seen this movie. it is INCREDIBLE and deserved more recognition than what it got

They probably cut all that to keep the movie at a reasonable length. How much longer is the stage version?

Abuela is from cuba not from DR like Usnavi, he just wanted to take her with him
In The Heights is one of my favorite musical that made me feel seen as a Latina🇬🇹
♥️♥️♥️
8:45 how did you not notice the You'll Be Back Hamilton song reference? 😂 Lol i was so excited in the cinema and no one understood why
wait can u explain the reference?
Not only is Chris Jackson's cameo a nod to Hamilton, but he was Benny in the original Broadway cast of In the Heights
I’ve been waiting for this reaction since this movie came out!! The entire soundtrack is a straight bop! Also Sonny might be my favorite character…he’s just so funny!

SO GOOD

Saw the notif and said “WAIT, HE HASNT SEEN IT?????!” Im SO EXCITED to see your reaction to this!!!!!! Definitely one of my favorites from 2021🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This is literally my favorite Lin musical and my dream is to ply Nina or Vanessa. I love them so so much!!
Such good characters
The actors said it was freezing on the day they filmed the swimming pool scene. But it sure looked like fun. Have you watched the live performance of “Come from Away” that ones really good if you haven’t.
7:27 yeah Breathe hits way too close to home
Yay! I fell in love with this movie the first time watching it the cinematography, choreography all of it was just so good
Lin also wrote music for and voiced the title character in Sony's animated film "Vivo" … you need to add that to your watch list!
The little girl represents Nina as a child
You are right about John M Chu directing crazy rich Asians, and he is set to direct the movie version of Wicked
The little girl running around in the background was supposed to be little Nina!
the little girl was nina when she was younger it was nina chasing her youth now that shes "left her future"
when i first saw the movie, i was like oh it's good, it's okay i suppose, but then i don't know, something clicked and i was like wait no this is amazng??? i've had the soundtrack on loop for months
ITS SO GOOD
Abuela is the voice of abuela in encanto
4:14 Wait. Your a Brooklyn Nine-Nine fan? I had no idea lol
I love this musical sooo much. It blows my mind that he wrote the first version of in the heights of a sophomore in college
So funny bc I could've sworn I've seen you react to this before. Then I remembered it was West Side Story.😅🤣
This movie got me feeling all types of ways. (Me loving Dominicans, Cubains, Mexicans, etc. Even more! *cough cough* AnthonyRamos *cough* )
Honestly my favorite thing is the transition from the club to blackout
I’m surprised you didn’t catch the Hamilton Easter egg when Kevin is on the phone.
YES, this is one of my favorite musicals (mainly because I'm latina)...also the songs are a BANGER, "Just Breath" is one of my favorite songs, I relate to it so hard. Thank u for the reaction ^-^
The condensed milk in the coffee is definitely a thing my mom has done this. I'm Puerto Rican from the Bronx so not sure if it's a Caribbean thing or a NYC thing lol
I think it's a latinx thing to do, because here in Chile is well known too.
The actors real name is Jimmy Smits
If you want to hear Lin sing, check out Mary Poppins Returns with Emily Blunt.
Such a good time!
IS THE HOLD TONE YOU'LL BE BACK omg
I’m a huge Melissa Barrera fan n honestly forgot she did this movie but UGH shes AMAZING
I’m sorry I had to comment on your videos separately, it’s just because I’m a fan but I saw this movie in theaters and absolutely loved it. I don’t know what I’ll be doing if I didn’t see your videos and getting excited whenever I see you! I just love it so much! 😍😍😍🥺
Another Lin -Manuel Miranda film is Vivo on Netflix. He wrote the songs and was the main voice actor.
The younger girl running around the whole time is the younger version of Nina(the college girl).... She was remembering growing up and those scenes.
The reason why you probably remember her is because she was recently in the new scream movie. Not the power rangers movie
Anthony Ramos just wrapped transformers! My best friend and her husband did the wardrobe and directed it. Even had Michael Bay on set for his advice ❤️
WHAT. THATS AMAZING
I love Stephanie Beatriz so much
I’ve been so obsessed with paciencia y fe lately. Especially the choreography 17:30
You haven't finished Lin-Manuel's stuff unless you also watched Vivo! It was good and sad.
Down the rabbit hole I go
FINALLY!! THIS MOVIE IS SO UNDERRATED! It’s honestly my favorite musical to movie adaptation 🇧🇷🇦🇷
♥️♥️
That guy that showed the calculated played hades from hadestown! Wow a lot of theater singers
WAT
In The Heights is so fantastic and heartwarming.
This just reminded me how much I love this movie! I need to watch it again soon. It's SO beautiful!
Fun fact: at the hold music at 8:38 is actually a remix of the songyou'll be back from hamilton
This is pretty much my favorite musical and I tried so hard to like the movie but I just don't like the changes they made.

When Kevin was waiting on the phone the song on the phone was you’ll be back from Hamilton
Btw the pool scene was filmed in the freezing cold 🥶
Condensed milk or evaporated milk on coffee is real😂😂😂
Also they actually did filmed this at Washington Heights back in 2018.

What's funny is that Moana is the first film I watched by Lin Manuel-Miranda the second being this movie and the third being Encanto
Do you know what I think you would just love watching and reacting to for the channel? The step up series! Especially Step up Revolution since they actually do dance flash mobs in the movie, my favorite one!
That little girl that was running around the whole time was Nina as a little girl. I just don't think you heard it, but I'm pretty sure they explained it
honestly idk if they ever explained it, i think it was just heavily implied with the visuals
You finally did my request
You know i just checked last week if you had watched "in the heights" and when i didn't see it i just assumed oh he must have watched it on his own and so didn't react. You sir are very unpredictable with what you have and haven't seen.

This is so weird I just started watching this movie in class today lol love your videos btw 💜

This is just my theory on the little girl. I think she represents the suenitos of the people of Washington Heights. Idk that’s just my theory
I loved the movie. Definitely enjoyed it more than West Side Story.
I can’t wait to see Anthony in the new Transformers movie
Have you seen Vivo. The songs are also written by Lin Manuel Miranda
HOOOWWWW have you never heard the music? You HAVE to see the stage show if you ever get a chance because there is SO much that is changed in the movie
Also all the eAsTeR eGgS
I’m disappointed in myself for not seeing this until now…. 💀
@@MoviesinDepth you should be 😛
The West Side story is also good!
♥️♥️♥️
I’m ashamed to say that I watched it because of the TikTok trend but I really enjoyed the movie. I watched Scream 5 recently and said “Oh My God that’s Vanessa!”
VANESSSA
U need to add Vivo on Netflix and Freestyle Love Supreme movie/doc on Hulu. Two more LLM projects. FLS actually helped him before In The Heights play
Composed by Lin-Manuel Maranda in this musical
You haven’t mentioned “Vivo.” Have you done that one yet?
This is so funny. I’m actually in my school’s production of In The Heights
Lin-Manuel Maranda is from Puerto Rico
Eyyy this comment is different from the others but love the miku poster in the back, got the exact same pic as my wallpaper
i still haven't watched this movie, but it's on my list of movies to watch
This and Tick Tick Boom, superb.
Did you ever see the after credits scene? One last Lin moment!
VANESSAA!!
Yes musicals reaction
Awesome
I love & respect Lin so so much, but the stage play was far better than the movie, proof is the pudding as they say, the stage play won 4 Tonys, with 13 nominations and the movie didn’t get any nominations at all for any type of award 🤷♀️
The stage version is better but awards mean jack shit lol, especially when they knew nominating the movie would invite more of those ridiculous “colorism” claims all over again
What about Vivo?
I second this!
It was amazing, Cancel culture got its claws in it, BUT loved the movie and the story.
Did you watch Mary poppins?!
Love it but too much stopping and commentating…
Eh - I’m second.., well hi buddy
I loved this movie it reminded me of when my highschool did a "In The Heights" musical, I loved being apart of the ensemble, it was😙🤌 chief's kiss
Am I the only one who thought the movie had no plot and too many irrelevant, mediocre songs
