Is this not an hour long commercial for IN THE HEIGHTS?
Say what you want, Billy Elliot, Young Frankenstein, even Titanic had the same treatment (albeit on non-public TV stations).
It may be in the guise of a documentary, it's generated to sell tickets.
This is the shortened, TV version of the Chorus Line movie. Far better, as well.

I agree that this is fantastic! And Yankeefan, I must ask, is it a bad thing to generate ticket sales? I think not. :)

Oh, hell no. My point was that all shows should be so lucky to get this kind of coverage. Guess I didn't express it well.

This is actually amazing. I didn't even really like the show, but this is terrific behind the scenes doc.

Absolutely not.. Maybe you should have waited to watch it before making that assumption. It was FAR from it.
The interviews were great, and honestly... I thought it was fascinating and very touching. Loved the part with Mandy and her parents !!!

I wish it was longer. It was so good. My favorite part was when Seth Stewart was walking and they put up the billboard with his picture on it. I had chills the entire show

I would rather have shows do this then have Britney Spears stunt casting.

Did it look like they edited two different clips from the finale - from some of the angles it looked like Lin Manuel didn't have a goatee.
And yes, there were portions of this that I had tears in my eyes - especially when they interviewed Chris Jackson at home with his son.

I didn't care much for the show either, but this is one fantastic commercial nonetheless. A bit contrived, alot of sincerity, and the ah shucks quality of Miranda makes this a winning promotion for the show. The director Thomas Kail, should have been an actor, as he plays well to the camera. And that dancer Seth Stewart is also a star in the making, which prompted me to youtube him. He's quite the entrepreneur it seems .
Olivo also came off sincere and you can never go wrong with Priscilla Lopez-so genuine. Good for them.
