Hi Heights fans...

For some reason, YouTube took down the vids from the Easter Bonnet performances of "Tradizzle" and "Un Dia Mas." Did anyone rip the audios? I kept meaning to but never got around to it...and now they're gone! PM me if you can help me out!

Going to see the show tonight with my dad who is seeing it for the first time. I'm excited to see it again and Krysta as Vanessa!

Went back to Heights last night (Janet!Vanessa, Josh!Benny and Krysta!Carla), and wondered- since when do they have an opening announcement (you know- "ladies and gentlemen, blah blah cell phones, yadda yadda recording devices, etc.") before the show?
That was one of the things I *loved*, how the show just *started*- it's dark, radios start going off- without a pre-show warning, kinda thrown off that they now have one.

I think the announcement started either Weds or Thurs of last week. Yeah, I kinda liked it without the announcement too.

Leave it to the few to wreck it for the many. Best of luck to Josh!

I don't mind that they have an announcement, if it'll help people remember to turn off their damn cell phones, or remember that picture taking, etc, is not allowed. I wish they'd also include an announcement about no texting during shows. Cause some people think that as long as they're not making noise, it's perfectly fine to take out a device with a blinding light and just start texting away. It's very distracting and annoying.

And all the best to Josh Henry. He'll me missed, but looking forward to seeing him in Godspell. Updated On: 8/10/08 at 06:05 PM

One of the ushers in the Rear Mezz has her own little cel phone speech, and mentions no pic taking and/or texting.

Its a funny little speech !

Texting at the theater is my new pet peeve. HATE.

[singingbackup]

Posted: 8/10/08 at 6:33pm

Maybe they can offer a discount or free soda if you voluntarily check your cell phone?

[Testing1232]

Posted: 8/10/08 at 6:43pm

No free soda-- please !! Then we have to hear even more "ice rattling" after intermission than we already hear at "ITH" !!!

LOL

Not sure if previously posted, but Tony Chiroldes will be Piragua guy August 12th- 17th.

It's Priscilla Lopez doing the announcement right? It sounded like her Friday night. First in English and then in Spanish.

[Anakela]

Posted: 8/11/08 at 1:51am

You know, I was so thrown by the fact that there suddenly was an announcement that I didn't even notice who was doing it- it's Priscilla?

Ok and so since today was Josh's last day, (right?), then this-
Tuesday, August 19th - Sunday, August 24th: Josh Henry will be playing the role of Benny in IN THE HEIGHTS.
up on broadwayunderstudies.com can't be right anymore (?), so I am really hoping to see Rogelio go on as Benny at some point that week!

[BroadwayChica]

Posted: 8/11/08 at 1:55am

I swear to GOD I was about to post: "Any word on who's going on as Benny during Chris Jackson's vacation, since Josh left the show?"

Anakela, you and I have like minds.

And since I'm posting, I'll add:

-Tony Chiroldes f*cking rocks
-Mandy Gonzalez rocked the house with "Total Eclipse of the Heart" at Broadway Loves the 80s. Her rendition was both hilarious and super fierce. Brava.

OMG yes Mandy tonight!!!

"...turnaround bright eyes"
"ok!" (turns around)

:cue me *dying* from laughing:

//fangirling moment over. for now.

Damn. I really wanted to see Josh but I've been so out of the loop I figured since he "had" those days on BU.com that I would have a chance to see him.

[JerseyGirl2]

Posted: 8/11/08 at 3:05am

Anakela, I was DYING! Mandy KILLED that song tonight. She was funny and beautiful and she just nailed the coffin shut with the vocals. AHHHHH. Killer performance of the show.

Um, ok- *this* is so many levels of genius I can't even deal. From Seth Rudetsky's most recent column:

Speaking of In the Heights, last week I got an email from Lin-Manuel Miranda asking me if I'd partake in an internet film he's doing based on "Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for the Next Elle Woods" called "Legally Brown: The Search for the Next Piragua Guy." I showed up at 37 Arts (where we filmed the TV show and where In the Heights played Off-Broadway) and filmed a "rehearsal" with each of the "contestants": Telly Leung from the upcoming Godspell, Derrick Baskin from The Little Mermaid, Noah Weisberg from South Pacific and Hunter Bell from [title of show]...
