The Official "In The Heights" Love Thread.... — Page 50

<< Well Testing, here is what I think. If In The Heights doesn't win, I want Cry-Baby to win so that everyone can be upset, not just us. :-P

LOL !

Judas, you don't know how happy it makes me that you love this show (especially after telling you how much I enjoyed it).

So I was at the show the other night in partial view in row V. The lady next to me had seen the show before and was talking to her husband and kept asking herself what you can't see.
So after like 5 minutes, I was like, "Oh you just can't really see the faces at the first number of the second act when they're on the fire escape."
She was like, "OH YEAH! RIGHT AFTER THEY BANG!"
I was DIEING laughing and could not help it at all... oh some people are hilariously amazing!

I agree with Judas' thoughts. In the Heights is the best Broadway show I may have ever seen, at least production-wise. (Keep in mind I haven't seen as many as others). It was new, different, and gave me one of the most intense emotional responses I've ever had on Broadway.

Im from Cali too, los angeles area. I had the wonderful opportunity to catch In the Heights in previews this past february. I was moved, and this is by far the BEST show i have seen. Im kind of sad i dont live in ny, because i would see this show every chance i get. Im hoping it does an la stop, im seriously going to buy tickets for every night, lol (if i can afford it). And i am planning another trip back so I can watch it again, I don't think the tour would be the same unless lin manuel was going to do it. I love the soundtrack, but this show just ROCKS when you experience it! I hope it takes all the 13 tony nominations!!

Robin is so cool !! Just got back from the show, and he recognized me outside, and said "hi"-

I asked him if he was nervous, and he said that everything had not really hit him, until a few days ago.

Wished him luck ! Amazing crowd tonight. Looked to be close to a sell-out.

Rickey was on for Seth.

Heard at the box office that Tues night's show is already
Sold Out !!!

are you saying ITH is better than RENT? Hairspray? Xanadu?
i think that is very large statement, however, you are entitled to your opinion. glad that show touched u like it did, u should go see more shows tho!

i dont think that was directed towards me... but it is definitely better than those shows even though i love all of them (and rent is in fact my favorite show for sentimental reasons, but overall well maybe, the context of the shows... idk who knows, who cares?) But how can you even compare, they are all different and unique in their own ways.

I think it's asinine to assume that anyone who loves this show hasn't seen enough theatre. I've seen almost everything currently playing on Broadway, (all the plays, and most musicals) and plenty of things Off Broadway. And I can't even count the amount of productions I've accumulated over the years; not just in New York City, but all over the world. The same is true for many of us. And, yes, I think Heights is one of the best shows I've ever seen. Punto y seguido. It's a matter of taste and opinions, and has nothing to do with how much theatre we've been exposed to.

Ditto to Testing. This is the LOVE thread for the show WE LOVE! If you don't LOVE it I suggest GET OUT! You a entitled to your opinion but if you are going to bad mouth this show be prepared to be bashed on this thread. And I'm sorry but ITH is better than Hairspray. Have you even seen it?

I saw on another thread you were saying you would gag if it won etc! You don't have to say that, nobody really cares. You could just say I would like to see [insert your show here] win. And the Book really isn't that bad, it's very simple and nice. It may not change your life but it's simple. nice, fun, and happy.

So Bye Bye!
