Wow, Chris Jackson is one of my favorite performers/singers but this Benny absolutely killed it. Real nice flow and hit all the notes real smooth. Really really enjoyed his performance.
Thank you so much!! Chris Jackson is my big bro, I was his understudy as part of the Original Broadway Cast and he made sure I was ready and to add my own flare 🙏🏾❤
holy SHIT this whole performance was fucking ELECTRIFYING. That Benny! THAT VANESSA!! THAT ENERGY!!!!!! how is hamilton lmm's most acclaimed musical when in the heights EXISTS?!!?!
Sarah Ma Yeah you can tell their accents are even different, and that's because the west coast has a higher population of Mexicans than the Carribeans that the musical is written to portray
I played Benny... This was a performance from the 1st National tour, Lin joined us for the LA run. I'm actually an Original Broadway Cast member, you'll find my name on the Broadway Cast album, so I was in the room where it happened lol But my role in the show was to cover 6 Male Chorus roles and 1 Lead Benny. I was like a 6th man on an NBA Basketball team. Hope that helped🙏🏾 Go and check out the movie on June 11th!
Loved the Benny and yes for that Vanessa! Karen will ALWAYS have it on lock but Sabrina did her thing. I love this song! The energy of the cast mixed with the audience's was just right~
Oh damn this is one of the smoothest performances of 96,000 I've seen, I adore the original song but I've always felt that the last section where all the characters sing their parts was a little messy but this was really smooth and blended together beautifully
the fact that lin was spitting bars from hamilton 10 years ago during the part where everyone sings together is making me cry i love this man so fuckin much
Damn this song oozes energy. This wasn't half bad!! I do lie the originals better, but these people are good! Especially the people who played Vanessa & Benny! They brought their own flavor to those characters. But, Daniela & Carla...i love the originals :P
We were the 1st National tour, but the role of Sonny played my boy Shaun Taylor Corbett and Benny by myself... We were the only Original Broadway Cast members on the tour 🙏🏾❤ Check out the movie this Thursday!!
@Shimmering heart when broadway show do promos like this one they usually cut the song to fit the show or event's timing I hate when they do it but :le sigh: still a grate performance :D

Next thing you know, Lin has long hair, a child, and won EVEN MORE TONYS
Next thing you know, we’ve been through a pandemic and Hamilton has come out on a Disney streaming service. Hope you’re doing well through all this!
So are we just gonna ignore the fact that at 3:43 the third line Lin sings is "I can sing on the Lopez Sho-o-ow!" LOL XD
JESUS CHRIST THIS BENNY IS AMAZING
He is! Who is he, does anyone know?
Vanessa too!
I prefer Chris Jackson tbh
Leonardo Talavera THIS Benny just knocked me on my ass holy shit!
@@Chelsea-sf3bx me too
I'll always prefer originals, but this Benny is AMAZING
+Billie4Mozzarella Who is it? It is killing me!
+Billie4Mozzarella I saw this Benny on Broadway and I cannot remember his name for the life of me!
+Molly G Figured it out! Rogelio Douglas Jr!
+Billie4Mozzarella For real, this Benny's flow is amazing.
For real tho!

I always hate how the TV performances cut out Sonny's verse because it gets me so HYPED!! Also this Benny is awesome and I love his hair.
Yeah
Sonny speaks too much truth in his verse. Look at the way the US has gone since they hit Broadway, Lin saw the way the wind was blowing.
sonny's part is so inspirational and speaks truth
Appreciate You 🙏🏾
this Benny is mad amazing. Lin smiles a little every time he spits a verse and it makes my heart melt
Check him out on Spotify! Rogelio Douglas Jr.
Thank you 🙏🏾 It was a special moment... We always bonded over Hip-Hop
Lin was back there like dang this brother is good
Has noone noticed Lin changed the words to 'can sing on the lopez show' haha. I love him.
omg didn't notice
I love the originals but I really loved this Benny! I also love Karen but damn this Vanessa is so good! I loved how she pronounced baRRio.

why is the only person part of the original cast here lin?
west coast cast, i believe. Lin flew out to be part of the televised event.
They performed at the Pantageous
Sarah Ma Yeah you can tell their accents are even different, and that's because the west coast has a higher population of Mexicans than the Carribeans that the musical is written to portray
Yeah I know right

For real though, Benny in this one is so Lively, I love him!
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
@@RogelioDouglasJr hey bro didn't think anyone else could do Benny like Chris but you absolutely killed it. That flow, dance & singing was next level!
I saw this cast 2 days ago... LOVE THEM!!!
I had the honor of seeing this cast, what a show!
Oh damn this is one of the smoothest performances of 96,000 I've seen, I adore the original song but I've always felt that the last section where all the characters sing their parts was a little messy but this was really smooth and blended together beautifully
So tight, amazing breath control, perfectly in tune, just crazy good
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
lmao! "Damn where only joking! Stay broke then" then "I GET TO SING ON THE LOPEZ SHOW!" i love Lin XD
I still cry watching this performance to this day
Aww, what did you think of the movie?
This was the cast was the one I saw all those years ago when they toured!
🙏🏾❤
@@RogelioDouglasJr Omg Benny! I saw the show both in LA and again in Orange County during that touring season. You were so amazing! Much love! ❤️
I like this cast.
Holy crap so good! Missin' Sonny's part though but still so good.
this has always been my fav cast, when other people get filled in or replaced it just aint the same
🙏🏾❤
I disagree, this Benny is an amazing performer, and Vanessa is real pretty and signs amazing too. It is a good understudy for the Los Angeles Cast..
+Savannah C Did you see how proud Lin looked at Benny? It was so cute. lol
+Savannah C Omg I was trying to figure out who the chick was. Found it thanks to your comment. lol
She was also Angelica in the Angelica tour for Hamilton! I met her, she’s super nice and really pretty!
Thank you! 🙏🏾❤ I'm an Original Broadway Cast member also... check the cast album, then see the movie this Thursday ❤
"I can sing on the Lopez show..." :-D GOTTA love Lin!

OOOOH I love this Vanessa much more than the original!! Her voice seems more fitting for the song. :)

That breakdown reminds me a lot to Battle of Yorktown... Or I could say it backwards
Damn! This Vanessa is so GOOD!

3:55 to the end sounds like something from hamilton but I can’t put my finger on it. Am I imagining things?
Non-Stop and Yorktown

that guy in the red with the cap seems like he has star potential... I'm going to keep my eye on that young man ;-)
GET ITTTTTTT rogelio!!! :D
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
What about the part with Sonny and Graffiti Pete? I love that part it prepares me for Vanessa talking voice when she says: You are so cute! >.<
@alynn234 yes!!!! i totally saw that!!! i was on the floor laughing!!! this was awesome!!! :)
Oh my god! There is a scene that Lin forgets what is his next line and by a second he remembers his Pinnochio. Wow that was quick
WHO IS THIS SONNY, I'M OBSESSED WITH HIM
Really dont like this Carla. Shes not sassy enough.
@Shimmering heart when broadway show do promos like this one they usually cut the song to fit the show or event's timing I hate when they do it but :le sigh: still a grate performance :D
I think this may be my FAVORITE Benny EVER. :) Anyone know who this is?

VANESSA + USNAVI is the best ship ever!!!!!!!!!!11
The only people that are actually the cast is usnavi and sonny
umm Sonny is played by Robin De Jesus not that guy
Oh well idk
He is in the ensemble though.
Incorrect, Benny is also an Original Broadway Cast member 🙏🏾❤
So mean! But I can't my laughter. It's true lol
I cannot wait to see LIN!!! hopefully he wont have an understudy
Where is Christopher Jackson??? You can't do In the Heights without him!!
Wait. Is that shaun from hi-5
no fucking way, that's actually him?
I knew he looked familiar.
Yes, yes it is... My Bro STC 🙏🏾❤
@theminutepast no he's native american
@cami0902
I think this Benny is a better dancer, maybe even singer, but the original just fits the part better.
Appreciate You 🙏🏾❤
He’s the guy that made encanto
Benny was good!
Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤
Wich cast is this?
LA cast. Lin flew over from New York to be a part of this performance.
Why did Lin stay so much longer than the rest of the original cast? To sell tickets?
This was the 1st National tour 🙏🏾❤
WOW CHRIS WHERE U AT MATE
