The Official "In The Heights" Love Thread.... — Page 39

They shouldn't only sell them when it's sold out. But good to hear!

If and when IN The Heights goes Black and White do you think the picture will change especially when the OBC start leaving.

So, tonight at Heights...



I know there's a lot of love for Krysta!Nina on here, which is great, but, having seen two of the three Nina u/s now, and having seen Janet!Nina more than once now, I love Janet!Nina- an absolutely beautiful performance. I may have cried during Breathe. Amazing.

(ps- random thought- does anyone know the order for the u/s board? Because shouldn't Nina be listed above Vanessa, based on bow order?)

I have no idea how 'sold out' the show needs to be for standing room to be sold, as, post lotto tonight 1- some people left, 2- some people bought tix at the box office, and 3- some people entered their names in the second lotto, the one for the standing room tickets. The box office was still selling tickets for tonight (I think only full price orch was left, but there was availability) when the u/s board went up, after both lottos were done. So, again, no clue how 'sold out' it needs to be.

But- the standing room view is NOT GOOD. Like, it has nothing to do with being able to stand during the entire show or not. I stood in one of the spots to see the view, I'm 5'7, and if I crouched down and put my chin on the wall (there is a wall to lean on) I could *barely* make out the top of the awning of the bodega- there will be no view of the second level of the buildings, of the fireworks, etc. Probably ok if you're a repeat viewer and know what you're not seeing, definitely not something I would recommend a first-time viewer of the show purchase.

yummiest nickel- I am very intrigued as to who you are and what you do at Heights. Not enough to want you to tell me, but- if you're somehow in a position where you know when Janet!Nina will be happening again, my PMs are always open to you.

yummiest nickel: For any info on anything in the heights, my PMs are open to you as well .

And Anakela, could you elaborate on the performance of the understudies? I personally loved Krysta as Nina, and I'm dying to hear about her Vanessa.

Me too please!

Sure, I'll try... I've actually seen Krysta's Vanessa before, she's great- I *love* the way she does Champagne, from flirty surprise at the start (she hides the champagne bottle behind her back, etc.) to the right amount of frustration/heartbreak leading up to the kiss, and the "I'm just too late." Her It Won't Be Long Now is great- she doesn't cop as much 'attitude' against the boys as Karen does (ie mocking Luis, etc.) but it's still good. Definitely not as belty on the 96,000 vocals as Karen is- I really *hate* comparing u/s to the usual actor, but it's just that song especially is made for the huge belting "I'll be down town" thru the chorus- but still really good. And, nothing to do with any of her acting or singing, but it's interesting when Vanessa is shorter than Usnavi. :)

Janet is just... amazing. I think I might've said this all the last time I saw her go on, but great vocals, great acting, and I love how expressive her face is. Her scenes with Carlos and Priscilla were excellent, and she has great chemistry with Chris.

This was my first time seeing Stephanie go on as Carla (I've seen Krysta, and of course Janet), and she was good. At the end, I *loved* her harmonies w/ Andrea on "the hydrants are open..." She didn't have quite the attitude on "but I always say I'm from Queens!" but it still worked, and got the laughs. She actually got really huge laughs on her delivery of "spreading Jesus's love," which was great.

ugh an, i'm so jealous that you got to see this.

-edit-
PS Nickel, if you could be PM me too that would be fabulous and I would be incredibly thankful!
