for context, LaG high school is one of the city's most funded and prestigious art schools. They have departments in visual arts, instruments, singing, drama, and set design/tech, which is why the set looks near flawless
I honestly clicked on this video because I thought it could cute and kinda cringy to see a bunch of high schoolers do this number, but I was BLOWN away, this is AMAZING! Everything about it, not only the vocals but the choreography! And the acting! My God! This is amazing
Part of me is wishing I attended this school, part of me is wishing my school was as awesome as this, part of me is admiring how amazingly talented every single one of these actors is and the other part of me is just admiring this video so damn much.
@@snowy4045 kinda the point, no one wants to go to a show opening and watch the actors sing quietly, especially for a musical heavy show like In The Heights
guys, for anyone wondering, this is a specialized high school where you have to auditioned for it. it’s the top high school for the arts in nyc. that’s why there so good.
You know, it's kinda sad that the best performance I could find of Carnaval del Barrio is by a high school. Honestly, so much more passion and energy in this performance than in most of the official theatrical productions I've seen
wow, easily one of the best high school productions i've ever seen. i was just browsing for In the Heights songs when i came upon this video! i saw In the Heights with the original cast when i was in my own high school choir, 8 years ago. but seeing this now, i'm really impressed!
I never seen a musical or a performance from La Guardia HS but based on this, they really are amazing!! I wouldn't expect anything less from a Performing arts HS.
"do you wanna waste it when the *close* is so *end* you can taste it" I almost missed it, he brushed it off so easily--the only reason I caught it at all is because I was anticipating the lyrics. I'm so proud. edit: VANESSA BIT HER LIP TO KEEP FROM MAKING A FACE I M
I’m completely in love with this sonny he’s so good They were all good I love how they changed a lot to keep me interested in watching the whole thing even though I watched the original cast version a million times this may even be better than the original imo
I have watched this video three times, and the first two times I completely missed it when he said, "When the *close* is so *end* you can taste it." 😁😂
It's these sorts of productions that make me want to ask my school to do this for our school musical. it would be so amazing to be part of something like this!
Wow wow wow wow, I am so thoroughly impressed with this!! I saw some of the other clips from them, this is by FAR my favorite In The Heights performance!!
It’s LaGuardia, I go there. It’s a specialized school and you have to audition to attend and take classes on your performing arts major, so that’s why it’s so good.
+AlwaysGonnaSing lol tons of schools have white Benny's. It's not a big deal. His race is not specified in the casting descriptions. Like I'm 100% sure not all the actors playing the other characters are Latino....
+AlwaysGonnaSing a "cop out " if it said Benny has to be black I'm sure people would follow that , but the main thing is that Benny isn't Latino which leaves it open to any race, as for a hs that did it in my city the only people who auditioned were white .. Your not gonna force someone who's black to do something they don't want to do
Am I the only one who thinks the young woman playing Daniela looks like she could be Azealia Banks' little sister!? 🤔 They all did a phenomenal job with this production!!
The part where Usnavi jumps into Benny's arms and teases him is fucking adorable
usnavi was me teasing my friends in this song
mephirust 😂😂 it was amazing
novaworm lol
SHE DRAGGED THAT LOOOOOOVE FOR SO LONG XD
AND VANESSA'S FACE DURRING ITXD
@@moirah8683 thats like wow
for context, LaG high school is one of the city's most funded and prestigious art schools. They have departments in visual arts, instruments, singing, drama, and set design/tech, which is why the set looks near flawless
the reason why the video is 9 minutes long is because of how long Daniela held the "love" note 😂
no the og song is 9min and 23 seconds long 😂😂
THIS WAS A HIGH SCHOOL😮😮
sean solis no an elementary
Oliver Reinoso is the LaGuardia High school
Oliver Reinoso That would mean the people in this are 11yo max
A performing arts high school
And they did this amazingly
Only the best high school ever! Everything LAG does turns to gold!
The person playing Daniela was an amazing actress!!! If she's not on Broadway at this point, I will be shocked.
She was in the Color Purple during its original run!!
Daniella MURDERED it!! Great vocals, runs and adlibs
Murder is illegal, it’s also morally wrong
I honestly clicked on this video because I thought it could cute and kinda cringy to see a bunch of high schoolers do this number, but I was BLOWN away, this is AMAZING! Everything about it, not only the vocals but the choreography! And the acting! My God! This is amazing
artkid It's LaGuardia, so it's definitely got a higher bar :)
same
same like omg what high school is this hahaha can i get in
Part of me is wishing I attended this school, part of me is wishing my school was as awesome as this, part of me is admiring how amazingly talented every single one of these actors is and the other part of me is just admiring this video so damn much.
Holly Animates same
Emphasis that this is a performing arts high school and not a normal one but it is good nonetheless
Um okay? This is possibly the least necessary comment in this section
Person Hooman it just gives context for why they’re good ?
@@valerieb4446 ikr. idk why they sounded so bitchy about it.
They just sound too loud

Why is no one talking about “Nina and Benny...” part cause it was soooo funny
You know, it's kinda sad that the best performance I could find of Carnaval del Barrio is by a high school. Honestly, so much more passion and energy in this performance than in most of the official theatrical productions I've seen
To be honest, it makes sense since these are in HS, a time where energy is high. So... yeah.

as a latina, the "COÑOO" at the start was the best thing i seen in all of in the heights interpretetions by the years.
Same. I can confirm, I have had the exact same reaction when a blackout occurred.
DANG THIS DANIELA WAS AMAZING
THIS IS A HIGHSCHOOL?? They freaking killed it!!!
Yeah. Most known performing arts school in ny state.
YALL THE DANIELA WAS ON BROADWAY IN COLOR PURPLE WTFF
i'd die for this daniella like dam who is she i need her on tv
"when the close is so end you can taste it" lol
Ore B haha i noticed that too
oh I hate hearing theatre stuff ups, it makes me feel so bad for them and a lump comes to my throats as if it was my cast mate
haha awesome blooper, but it doesnt reduce the perfomance at all
😂😂
He still pretty great though
i think i'm in love with the guy wearing the puerto rico shirt
K Corona thats graffiti pete
Maaaan that Daniela can sing
I never seen a musical or a performance from La Guardia HS but based on this, they really are amazing!! I wouldn't expect anything less from a Performing arts HS.

Laurel Crown when did he say that?
7:23
Same!
Omg whoever the girl who played Daniela is, she was AMAZING
This is one of the best high school productions of "In The Heights" that I've seen here on YT! Awesome job!
Eric E. Surbano laguardia breeds talent in NYC :D. nicki minaj went there!!
4:24 I can *so* see Lin doing that
I also see him doing 6:08
Well...
@@Mari.babyyy yes
This should be the cast for the movie!!! Because they are all sooo great!!!!!
Emily Quijano totally
I’m completely in love with this sonny he’s so good They were all good I love how they changed a lot to keep me interested in watching the whole thing even though I watched the original cast version a million times this may even be better than the original imo
Best daniella ever!!
This is seriously my favorite thing. This Carla is amazing.
The Daniela was NOT PLAYING! She was on POINT!
This Daniella was AMAZING
This performance is sososososos great and the actres who plays Daniela SLAYS the role!!I love everything!!
Oh my gosh!! This was the best high school production I've ever seen!!!!!!! All the talent!! So amazing!The choreography was outstanding!!!
I need to see the whole production of this like... NOW!
SOMEONE GIVE THAT DANIELA AN AWARD
That “luuuuuvvv” was the best one. This is actually just the best CDB performance I’ve seen.
Still kinda shocked that I'm gonna be a freshman here 😪
I want to go to this school as dancing what did u audition for acting?
I got in for vocals
Ooh nice
what did you sing i want to audition
I sang an Ed Sheeran song
Yes mama! That Daniela is EVERYTHING! she did not come to play with y’all ♥️ Love from Queens
I absolutely love that Daniela kisses Piraguero in the heat of the moment.😆
This production makes me want to ship Sonny and Carla.
Kerah Bundy naw man it's Sonny and Graffiti Pete all the way
Sonny is just a kid pls calm yourself
THIS DANIELLA THOUGH!! 💕 Amazing!
Daniela Carla and Vanessa killed it but mainly Daniela, I loved her long held "love" that was different and very clever.
Omg 5:28 Daniela and the piragua guy 😂👀 i barely noticed that
But like why did Vanessa sound so alike to Karen Olivo, I was SHOOKETH!
I have watched this video three times, and the first two times I completely missed it when he said, "When the *close* is so *end* you can taste it." 😁😂
But damn this Usnavi.
"When the close is so end you can taste it"
jeez...I can't believe it's a high school production....This is too good
Blown away! This was beautiful! I loooooved their choreo
It's these sorts of productions that make me want to ask my school to do this for our school musical. it would be so amazing to be part of something like this!
BROOOOOOOO, THE AMOUNT OF ENERGYYYY IS AMAZINGGG, DEFO WHAT THIS NUMBER NEEDS I LOVED IT
Oh my Gos this girl is sooooo good! I am blown away!
Wow this is amazing I love this Daniella this cast could easily be the movie cast
I really love the Carla in this
WOW the caliber of excellence LaGuardia can produce
pete being absolutely terrified of daniela gives me life
this performance is a delight, jesus im jelous of it
Nothing but respect for MY Dani
THE PIRAGUA GUY I LOVE HIM
I still can't believe this was a highschool performance
Without looking at the title I actually thought this was a professional play and then found out it was in a high school :00
Wow wow wow wow, I am so thoroughly impressed with this!! I saw some of the other clips from them, this is by FAR my favorite In The Heights performance!!
it makes me really sad that i only got to experience one year at LaG and then my parents moved my family to long island :/ LaG will always be my home
Everyone is so freaking talented
Hey, guys don't forget to appreciate the musicians in the pit tooo :D!!!
Is this the high school in Glee?? How can a high school have this kind of production and powerhouse singers. They all sing like professionals.
It’s LaGuardia, I go there. It’s a specialized school and you have to audition to attend and take classes on your performing arts major, so that’s why it’s so good.
Wow this is amazing! I've seen lots of productions of ith on youtube but this is one of my favorites!
Lmao that person that just shouted “coño!” Lmao bless him! 😂😂
that was fire... but that's what I expect from LaGuardia...
Was I the only one who heard a "COÑO!" At the beginning?
Wow. Just..... wow. THIS IS DO GOOD!
That was a HIGH SCHOOL production?!? Amazing
Wonderful! Everyone involved should be proud of their accomplishment!
Piragua guy def a major theatre kid💀💀💀
OUTSTANDING WORK BY ONE AND ALL :) Wishing you all the best on your futures
is carla comforting sonny around the end of the song??
Yes. Poor kid...
lowkey wish my school would do this next school year, would so love to try out for a part
This was amazing! I can't stop watching this.
This Usnavi!!!!! I’m in love!!!!!
Guys it’s so good Bc this is a performing arts school!!! So much talent
The part with Benny and Usnavi had me dead-
The choreo is better than Broadway!
OMG DANIELA IS SO GOOD
After so many cringy tiktok performances this is a real breath of fresh air 🤩 good job everyone!
Man, this Daniela is awesome! (Wait why is that white boy playing Benny though)
The only casting requirement for Benny is that he isn't Latino.
+OfficialLexieI Yeah I get that, but it still feels weird and like a bit of a cop out. (shrug)
+AlwaysGonnaSing lol tons of schools have white Benny's. It's not a big deal. His race is not specified in the casting descriptions. Like I'm 100% sure not all the actors playing the other characters are Latino....

Benny is just not supposed to be hispanic. He can be white or black or even indian it doesn't really matter:)
Am I the only one who thinks the young woman playing Daniela looks like she could be Azealia Banks' little sister!? 🤔 They all did a phenomenal job with this production!!
OH MY GODDDDDD THE DANIELA IS SO GOOD
These are high school students?! They're all so amazing!!!
I need to transfer to this school
DAMMNN. THIS WAS AMAZING ‼️‼️
¡¡¡I HAVE FUCKING GOOSEBUMPS!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
BENNYS WHITE IM CRYING THIS IS AMAZING
Why is Sonny without a
t-shirt?
This was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
WEPA!!!
What type of fame type bullshit high school is this?! Damn, this was fire!! That Daniela, GAHDAMN.
this is actually THE fame school lol so you were right on the money lol
I LOVED THIS!!!!!!
i cannot get over the fact that daniela just grabs piraguero and makes out with him on stage
this really good for a high school
