I always loved this number. Saw the show off-Broadway with Karen Olivo, and again on Broadway with Krysta Rodriguez. It makes a real difference when the Vanessa can belt.
"Sing the words, Patti!!!!" Stephen Sondheim to Patti LuPone.
I am soo excited now to see the show again..this time on Broadway! yay! my last 10/10 report for the season. Manuel Lin Miranda is soo cute in the video! I cant wait to meet all the cast!
Hip Hop rapping is not music lol. The ending was the best part except for that awful thing the guys were doing. I don't think those were even words lol. The girls were kind of cool tho.
I absolutely loathe hip hop, however, I find this musical to be very entertaining. That video made me (seduced is more like it) pre-order a copy. Can't wait to see what they put together for the Tony telecast.
Not a fan of hip-hop, but it's good that there are new mediums of storytelling on Broadway. Not sure if it's my kind of show, but at least it's a fresh new voice.
