The thing about musicals, espesecially In the Heights, is that they take a life of their own. I'll always remember and sing the songs in this musical. And if the movie isn't made when im out of college, I'll direct it. Thanks, for the wonderful performance, both on and off stage.
I love Lin's face when he is finishing "Finale" thats exactly how he looks when i saw the matinee on Saturday. and at 2:14 and on "DREAMS COME TRUE BITCHES!!" love it
I've never seen this show, but know every word by heart. I had no money to travel from europe to New York and I'm very sad that I didn't had the chance to see the show :( I'm inspired by you Lin-Manual, my heart just lights up when I see how much this all mean to you. I always say In the Heights is the ''Rent''' of this new generation. The love just flows trough the story. And I hope some day just like you my dreams will come out on Broadway, and I will tell you this story personally! Love!
To me, the story of In the Heights is something truly special and will continue to inspire me every time I hear that opening beat."Alabanza," "Inutil," and "Finale" still bring tears to my eyes! It may not be on Broadway, but it will always live in my heart. P.S. Lin, if you ever get around to reading this, thank you so much for signing my friend's picture for me! It made my life! "No Pare Sigue Sigue!" -Christian (The Bellhop)
In a Broadway dominated by big theatrical presentations that cost millions of dollars to make, In the Heights was a breath of fresh air, a simple yet moving musical about love, home, and family. Thank you, Lin, and the cast of In the Heights, for entertaining audiences for three wonderful years on Broadway. :)
still chills after three years of loving this show. After the amazing success of this show, how can Broadway not continue to support original musicals? In the Heights is every argument for the continued support and encouragement of up and coming composers in this community.
Lin-Manuel Miranda. Thank you. For everything. Al the laugher and tears. Thank you for this. I can't believe that I was lucky enough to see this. I will be one of the people in that crowd tomorrow night going for rush tickets. I'll be there at the door.
Such an amazing show. I went into the theater not really knowing what to expect and I came out absolutely loving it. My one regret was not being able to stay after and meet the cast at the stage door.
I hated the idea of putting a rap musical on Broadway until I actually listened. You taught me to not judge something without actually looking. You taught me what home is and who makes it a home. Thank you for being amazing. I needed it. Lin Manuel, cast and crew, you guys rocked that house every night!
I am going to truly miss this show. It gave me and so many other Latino kids who want to be on the Broadway stage hope that we can make it someday. I am so sad to see it leave but a new chapter awaits this beautiful show. Thank you to Lin and the rest of the cast. Thank you for giving us the hope we've been looking for.
A beautiful show that I never got to see live. Oh... if only I could count the number of times I've mowed my lawn listening to this soundtrack. I just heard it earlier today. In The Heights is a show who's score and message provides an emotional connection that is unparalleled.
I wish I was there to see the final show, as I was there to see it when it first opened, but seeing I am not able to I wish the cast and crew of one of the best shows to play on Broadway in a long time a heartfelt farewell and to 'break a leg' in all and future endeavors. To me 'In the Heights', along with 'Rent', will always hold a special place in my heart and will be the shows I think of when I think of NYC and the Great White Way.
I saw Heights on March 13, 2008. I walked into the theater with absolutely no expectations and really no idea what I was about to experience. I remember the lights coming up for intermission and being glued to my seat, absolutely speechless & inspired. After the show (of course I sobbed) I had the opportunity to meet LMM. I don't remember what was said - I may not have said anything, honestly - but I hope he knows how much his little show has changed the world. No pare, sigue, sigue indeed.
In the Heights is definitely my absolute favourite musical, and always will be. I was never much for musicals, so when I went to NY for a school trip and found out we were watching this, I admit I was skeptical (plus Corbin Bleu was playing Usnavi when we went). I ended up spending some of the little bit of spending money I had left to buy the CD and listened to it nonstop my entire summer. I'll count myself as one of the people stuck on that magnet for sure!
I saw the show on tour. Wish I could have seen it on Broadway. That show changed my life. So beautiful and amazing. Loved it before I saw it, fell completely, dazzlingly in love with it when I saw the strength, the love, the passion, and the power that this show invokes and embodies. The show may be closing, but the feeling, the love, the legacy it has left behind will never fade. It's home. :')
From all of your fans at STuFF FiLMS, you continue to inspire us and show us how it's done...it's time to be proud...real proud. Thank you for bringing us on this journey from beginning to end. We heart you. JDM P.S. You're tearing me apart, Lisa!
Just make me cry a little more why don't you!?! This is so emotional, and SOOO amazing! Thank you In The Heights. For everything. You may be gone, but definately never, never forgotten.
I can't believe that In The Heights is ending i got to see this show when i went to New York with my high school and i wanted to go back to see it again but i never got the chance to...this show means sooooo much to me because we did a dance to this song in my broadway class and it was the last dance i preformed before my knees gave out.....i just want to say thank you for the wonderful memories, you were by far the best broadway show that i have ever seen
Funny, I stumbled to your wedding video and found the "In the Heights guys". Then I found this video. Christmas 2010 my first visit to NYC, I wanted to see a Broadway show that captured New York's spirit or had a NYC pulse. Was recommended "In the Heights" and LOVED IT. Had my video camera and I wanted to capture the final song, to bring home to Canada, but was afraid to turn it on. Now I have this. Come visit us in Toronto. Love your creative spirit and raw energy. USNAVI - too funny.
Wow. This musical means so much to me and I know it does to so many others as well. Thank you Lin and In the Heights for everything you've given us. *insert cheesy less than three here*
I never got to see this show. It's so sad that it's closing. The cast recording is amazing. Thanks for creating it, and for posting this. Good luck to you, and everybody else involved with In the Heights, in whatever else you do. :)
This show will always be one of my absolute favourites. I'm very sad that it's closing, but I'm so grateful that it was able to make it to Broadway in the first place. It has certainly set the bar high for any new musicals that come out. So thank you, to everyone involved, for bringing this show to Broadway and sharing it with the general public!
Lin, you are the most inspirational composer lyricist performer just everything out there. I hope you keep living your dream because with yours your helping other find theres. much love man. --Jacob
Thank you so much to the cast, crew, creative team, and everyone involved with In the Heights. I really cannot express how much this show has impacted my life. This show encouraged me to go ahead and be a theatre major in college, even though I was terrified to do so. This soundtrack got me and my friends through my senior year of high school. Thank you Lin Manuel Miranda for this beautiful story.
Thank you, thank you, thank you a thousand times over, for this wonderful work of theater. It's brought so much joy to so many lives, including my own. Gone but never forgotten
This play is such an amazing play. It reminds me so much of my Spanish family and to see all of the actors putting so much of themselves into it is very comforting. Goodbye In The Heights your had a very good run and I hope to see you again.
Thank you and congratulations to Lin and the amazing cast, crew and everyone involved. I, too, am extremely sad to see this show close. From the first time I saw it three years ago to seeing it close tomorrow night (my tissues are ready) -it's been an incredible journey. This truly is the end of an era... You've changed the lives of so many of us.
This made me cry, my favorite Broadway show ever and I'm SO sad to here its ending. I will miss In The Heights so so much.. NO PARE, SIGUE SIGUE! Love you guys!!!!
Awww! Today's the one-year anniversary which is really sad, but watching this video makes me happy, and you can't have it without the closing. So emotionally conflicted. ") I didn't get to see the show on Broadway, but I had the album, and so knew and loved the music, and saw the show on tour. It was awesome!! :)
Lin, Thank you so much for bringing us "In the Heights". I first saw it about a year ago and when I heard it was leaving Broadway and that you were going to be back for the final performances...I had to go...again! You and the entire cast were AMAZING last night...my husband and I jam out every time we listen to the CD and I can't wait for the movie (fingers crossed). Good luck with everything and can't wait to see what else you have in store! Don't keep us fans waiting too long!
I fell in love with this show two years ago and I finally got to see it for my birthday in October. It was by far one of the best shows I've ever seen. And let's not forget about stuff like Heights Cool Musical Too and Legally Brown =) In the Heights means the world to me, and I'm very sad to see such a wonderful show go, but it will live on forever. Thanks so much, guys.
Lin, you truely inspired me. You are what the broadway world likes to call 'a true artist.' its sad to see a show as great as this one close. All day ive been listening to in the heights all day (-: I think we should have usnavi be a girl with my rapping skills lol. but in all seriousness happy closing because this show deserves to live on for years to come.
I got to see In The Height's in LA, but I live in Dominican Republic, I hope you get a chance to bring it down here, so people can see what a great play it is.
In The Heights was such an unbelievable show and I'm terribly sad to see it coming to an end so soon. I loved every second of it. It made me laugh. It made me cry. And in the end, I left with the feeling that I'd just seen one of the best shows that I will see in my life. I still believe that, to this day. I hope to see In The Heights back on the stage in a couple years. :)
Thank you for so many great memories seeing In the Heights with my friends and family. I saw your show 3 times and fell more in love with it every time. I look forward to the future projects of everyone involved in ITH. You are all so talented and creative. Congratulations on all the success and best wishes for the future.
.....Please tell me there will be a movie made. I watched In the Heights progress ever since Rent closed. At first I thought nothing could replace that show for me....then I heard the music, felt the passion and was proven WRONG. I never got to see the show, but I hope there will be a tour or a movie because something that wonderful needs it
Such a fantastic show I loved it so muchh! sad to see it go but HOPEFULLY itll be back in a few years when i graduate college i can AUDITION for it :D! hopefully it aint be actor equity only D:
@redlifestylz YES YES YES. Though, I was just at a cast party tonight to and I broke out into It Won't Be Long Now. I was so upset when the tour didn't come to T.O. Dancap or Mirvish need to get on that!
Usnavi! whats the name of this song??? its so awesome!! your broadway show " In the Heights" made me a broadway Fan!!! i saw the show January 8th 2011 and im glad we saw you play your part!!! we bow down to you!
Lin is one of those people who just inspire young peoples dreams.
ahahah Lin's shirt. "Im kind of a big deal! " XDD
The thing about musicals, espesecially In the Heights, is that they take a life of their own. I'll always remember and sing the songs in this musical. And if the movie isn't made when im out of college, I'll direct it. Thanks, for the wonderful performance, both on and off stage.
I love Lin's face when he is finishing "Finale" thats exactly how he looks when i saw the matinee on Saturday. and at 2:14 and on
"DREAMS COME TRUE BITCHES!!" love it
So i kind of cried a little watching this....
Saw it with lin-manuel and the rest of the obc a few months after it opened, and i gotta say that it was one of the best theater experiences ever. :)
I've never seen this show, but know every word by heart. I had no money to travel from europe to New York and I'm very sad that I didn't had the chance to see the show :( I'm inspired by you Lin-Manual, my heart just lights up when I see how much this all mean to you.

And I hope some day just like you my dreams will come out on Broadway, and I will tell you this story personally! Love!
Haha, the tags of the video. "Dreams Come True Bitches"
one person got really mad that this show is over and pressed the dislike button by accident...bringbackheights
To me, the story of In the Heights is something truly special and will continue to inspire me every time I hear that opening beat."Alabanza," "Inutil," and "Finale" still bring tears to my eyes!
It may not be on Broadway, but it will always live in my heart.
P.S. Lin, if you ever get around to reading this, thank you so much for signing my friend's picture for me! It made my life! "No Pare Sigue Sigue!"
-Christian (The Bellhop)
This show will come back...it has to. Some day.
Lin-Manuel, gracias por hacer posible que IN THE HEIGHTS se presentara en Puerto Rico. Fue una noche inolvidable. Te amamos y eres un orgullo.
BEST MUSICAL EVER! WE'LL BE HEIGHTS FOREVER!!!
In a Broadway dominated by big theatrical presentations that cost millions of dollars to make, In the Heights was a breath of fresh air, a simple yet moving musical about love, home, and family. Thank you, Lin, and the cast of In the Heights, for entertaining audiences for three wonderful years on Broadway. :)
SOOOOO SAD In The Heights is closing tonight :'''''(
Here's hoping the movie version is at least half as good as the Broadway show.
IN THE HEIGHTS will be forever!
Can't believe I missed it. Probably one of the best musicals ever.
im crying sooooooo much ..

I need the tour to come a little closer to New Orleans....sitting at home on my two vacation days I THOUGHT were going to be spent in New York.... :-(

Love the music now its on tour and im not sure if im going to be able to see it though. I really want Lin to be in it. :(
@xiamxmex it's from the ITH documentary. It's Seth when the poster went up of him in Times Square.
Of all the shows to close on Broadway this past month, In the Heights should NOT have been one of them.
Such a fantastic show I loved it so muchh! sad to see it go but HOPEFULLY itll be back in a few years when i graduate college i can AUDITION for it :D! hopefully it aint be actor equity only D:
Thank you for this :)
@redlifestylz YES YES YES.
