Hello. Hope everyone is doing well during this trying time. One thing not being discussed are all of the spring musicals being cancelled or postponed. My sons high school has been working on In The Heights since November. Unfortunately it has been postponed.

To honor all his classmates and the hard work they all put into this play he has created a one man show of the opening song. Please enjoy and share with anyone who may get a smile from it during this horrible time.

This is great!

 

This got me thinking: Could you re-stage In The Heights as a one-person show? Frame it as an older Usnavi looking back on the neighborhood he grew up in, a la A Bronx Tale or John Leguizamo's early one-man shows?

You can't rewrite the show without the permission of the authors.

Thsnks. He worked very hard on it. Wish I could get him to spend this much time on his math homework lol. My next request for his one man show is ‘One Day More’

Enormous thanks to everyone at Broadway World who wrote such a great article about my son. He honestly couldn’t be happier.
