I'm kind of interested in watching ITH, but I don't have a major desire to see any of the new musicals of this season. I want to see them to see them, but...
regardless, that was the best performance thus far for a new musical. The show looks fun

Posted: 6/15/08 at 10:05pmOMG, I never really paid attention to In The Heights before, but after that performance I'm totally seeing it.

Posted: 6/15/08 at 10:06pmDid they chop up the song for Time restraints or to cut language?

I am breathless with IN THE HEIGHTS number! that was an excellent number!
I am just being honest and fair... I thought they captured the very essence of the show..unlike PS (which is hard for me to say...)
I really love the number...96 G ... best number tonight on New Musical Category!
and yeah.. they are GOING to win it tonight!

Posted: 6/15/08 at 10:07pmGreat performance from IN THE HEIGHTS. I didn't like the transition in the beginning (I thought it was awkward), but it was still pretty good.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

<< This ITH number is crap.

Um....ok
Given that Lin is losing his voice, I thought they were very good. One of the best numbers on Broadway right now, when you see it live.

Posted: 6/15/08 at 10:08pmProbably time. Its over 5 minutes on the recording and it started with the opening number, too

Posted: 6/15/08 at 10:08pmI need a transcription of Mark Rylance's speech. What a weirdo. I love him.

Naugh! Patti was in wonderful voice and gave them the most professional performance of the evening, bar none.
They should retract the choreography award and give it post-performance to Rob

Posted: 6/15/08 at 10:09pmI didn't know what to think about ITH in the beginning, but that was great. Now I want to see it!

ITH - so glad i'll be seeing it again the week after next!! (: This and Patti were the best numbers so far!
I would love for Lin-Manuel to win best actor but I think it will be Paulo Szot... Only 5 more categories...

Posted: 6/15/08 at 10:10pmI'm hoping someone will put Rylance's speech up on youtube.
