The Official "In The Heights" Love Thread.... — Page 27

Awwwww.... I love Robin I hope he wins!
I have never been so happy about a show getting nominated. I guess I just connect with it!
Man I can't wait to watch the Tony's now!

Loved the GMA performance!

So Happy! I love Robin and I hope he wins! 13 Nominations! I hope they win all of them!

Broadway chica, that was beautiful! You should submit that as an op-ed to the times, I'm not even kidding (though if you do that you'd have to delete it from here)

hahaha yankees i am totally in the background of those videos, nice!

13 Noms? Banging.


That was well said Chica :] don't listen to Rent, they're probably jealous because they couldn't come up with something as well eloquent as that.

Still basking in the wonder of it all, 13 hours later.

Oh man... 13 is a LUCKY number!

:)

that is amazing.

hopefully in a month they'll be able to have a ___ tony winner part to it.

you have to give karen credit though. It was clearly an important performance for everyone and she gave it her all and covered up the best she could. If anything I just felt bad for her.

i give her credit too for performing tonight, and also this morning. shes a trooper karen. love the new outside, it was up in no time. the performance i was at this past sunday with krysta as vanessa karen was actually there too. she came out of the stagedoor and did not look good at all, so i let her go but some others noticed her and asked for an signature but she walked by.

Her voice was really, really shot, but only on the high notes. She sang lovely the rest of the time, and I thought she covered admirably. Anyone who's never seen the show (and most people there, I'm assuming, hadn't) could never tell that the chorus in 96,000 sounded emptier without her parts. It was *very* wise of her to save her voice in that moment. And she did what she could with "It Won't Be Long Now" to make it work. I really hope she takes tomorrow off to rest her voice.

Anyway, it was a fantastic performance, and it was lovely being able to attend the show on such a special night. I loved the kids in the crowd. I'm the type who likes a rowdy audience, and the cheers, and even yelling out stuff at the actors cracked me up.

And random, but I think that Daniela's part near the end of Carnaval samples the "Adios, adios adios" from the song "En Mi Viejo San Juan". Which is just...gorgeous. Man, i hope there aren't any copyright issues with THAT one, cause that little detail in the chorus absolutely kills me. I'd hate for it to go the way of "Pollito Chicken"

from the sh-k-boom email blast (this info's not on their website, though) about the Heights cd:

The In the Heights double-disc cast recording is on its way! The CD will feature a special 68-page booklet including photos from the show, the complete show lyrics and a special introduction from Tony-nominated director Thomas Kail.

68 pages, photos, *and* the complete show lyrics? I already love it.

New songs on the website - In the Heights and Pacencia y Fe....or however you spell it.
