I love this. Is that how it normally works every show? They sing from offstage?

Anybody think they would have noticed his voice if they were in the audience and had no idea he was there? Would you be like "Usnavi? Alexander?" I think I would recognize him especially because it does sound so different from the regular voice

Maybe. And he was on the insert. https://twitter.com/Lin_Manuel/status/692482729779265536/photo/1

He was on the insert. However, they do use a bit of a distortion for that bit, so I have no idea how it would sound from the front.

Was he paid for doing that part?

A huge part of his appeal is that he has no chill, no cool, no irony. He is just purely, unabashedly enthusiastic about the things he loves. It's wonderful.

I know he was on the insert, thus my "had no idea he was there" qualifier. I suppose I could have been more clear and said "if he was not on the insert".

Aww... he wasn't on my cast insert from Sunday night. I still had J. Michael Finley, the regular Loud Hailer, listed.
It was my first time seeing the show with Finley in that track/role. However, when the Loud Hailer came on, I was thinking to myself that it sounded off. Like, Finley is a ValJean understudy so I was expecting a deep, more classical sound like Aaron Walpole who was the Loud Hailer previously. Lin's not that. LOL.

That's too bad, sounds like it would have been a fun souvenir.

How fun! Although I doubt Lin would replicate something like this in another show, or make it obvious/intrusive if he did, it's amusing to imagine that he could now pop up anywhere in any Broadway show at any time. Just imagine that voice coming through to an unsuspecting audience in the middle of Phantom - "Christine Daae has returned to you..." And we need a meme in which Lin's picture is shoehorned into key scenes from all kinds of shows.

Actually, judging by other responses from Twitter, it seems like he wasn't on the cast insert in most of the Playbills. Maybe they made just a couple for Lin to have. I mean, if it was on the cast insert, I'm sure someone would've have noticed otherwise.

He was paid scale. And donated it to the Revolutionaries.
