    If you aren’t winning something for this choreography, I don’t know what more a person needs to do. This was modern choreography with classical techniques. Spectacular!

    In the Heights' When the Sun Goes Down was for me one of the most beautiful musical numbers in cinema history

    I worked as a Universal Studios tour guide and a fun fact about Singing in the Rain is that they had to add milk to the water so that it would show up on camera.

    9:43 It's so funny he says that, because as happy as Gene Kelly looks in that number, he filmed it with a 100+ degree fever. That must have been incredibly uncomfortable and miserable, but he powered through.

    • @lozainepereira1369
      @lozainepereira1369 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think knowing what dancers are like, despite his fever he probably still really loved doing it. Also probably why he still went ahead and did it even with his fever 😍

    I grew up on 180St. ITH and went to Incarnation School on 175th. St where most of the movie was film and I loved the movie. I saw ITH at 37Arts off Broadway and after the show I ran into LMM in the lobby and told him that I loved the show and that he would win a Tony Award. The Broadway show was excellent and I've seen the movie three times in the theater and twice on HBOMax. Alabanza to Christopher Scott.
