Yay 300 posts of love for the show! I think they should do both "In The Heights" and "96,000" just um cut out Xanadu performance or something!
BTW- Nothing against Xanadu just picking a show at random. :)

I have no idea if this has been posted already, but just in case, Freestyle Love Supreme is performing at Comix this Monday, April 21 @ 8 pm. Advance tickets are $15, at the door, $20.

They haven't done a show in awhile, so I'm pretty psyched.

Ugg... I wish that I was still in the city to see that
With regards to the Tony preformance, I think that if Lin and Robin get nominated then they will do 96,000 but if it's only Lin then they will do the opening. They are both great choices.... I just really want Robin to get a nomination

Question for those who have been to Heights during BC/EFA time:

the most recent time I was there the collection speech from the stage included mention of BC/EFA, and the Phyllis Newman's Women's Health Initiative. There was also another organization mentioned that I don't remember the name of, and that I don't remember hearing before, a Latino related organization, that it was mentioned the Heights cast is involved with/collecting for. I was just on broadwaycares.org but I don't seem to be finding it- does anyone know what I'm talking about, what this organization/program is?

That would be Revolución Latina, which was founded (in part) by Luis Salgado.

They're awesome. Basically, they help promote the arts among the latino community.

Oops, double post!

I think they mentioned that through Revolución Latina, they were going to give some money to organizations that deal with the same issues as BC/EFA in Latin America.

Yes, that is the group, R.Evolucion Latina. They have been working with people in Peru, Mexico and Guatemala. I found that Luis Salgado donated his time and directed/choreograph a show call Mezcla in Peru with kids from the streets.
This particular event with BCFA will donate the money collected by ITH to a hispanic organization. I believe it was founded by Luis but also as part of the board is the AMAZING Robin De Jesus and Michael Balderrama who is also a director for R.Evolucion.

I am looking for more and will post soon;

Hey guys--

So In The Heights' Joshua Henry is participating in this cool night of one-act shows and live music at The Cutting Room on April 28th, called "Keep It Short." He'll be acting in one of the one-shows and will be singing a song from the Broadway-bound musical, "Angels." Here's a link for more information:

Hope to see some of you there!
