[dqDST1913]

Almost as adorable as LIn's reaction...the baby in the wifebeater and the hat. Looks like a cross between Usnavi and Piragua Guy.

AIIIGHT BITCH!!!!

[MsKGB1]

"In The Heights" took the musical world to the heights that will be very hard to reach! It is my favorite and The BEST show of all times!! I was proud and honored to have been a part of this flashmob!! :)

"Yo, stay with us!.."

[geneshi]

[itsjulieNoodles]

This is the best thing I've ever seen!

[MrDmcty1]

[LinaWina]

This flash mob had me smiling hard from start to finish! I love Lin and this was too freakin' cool!! My favorite flash mob ever!

[Kavirako]

AMAZING!!!! LOVE LIN, HE DESERVED THIS!!

[jeffrey322]

Flashmob = Coolest shit I've ever seen!

[RosesNightengales]

Hey is that Lin watching the crowd dancing to his music?

[mlo0531]

@RosesNightengales yes it is :D

[Kassaremidybelllynn]

@RosesNightengales It's a lot of the point of Flash Mobs. Sometimes they just show up and sing to the people - like the flash mob hallelujah one, and sometimes they show up to certain celebrities, like Lin here.

[TheSpitmitt]

This was soooooooooooooooooooo cool

[phunkrockprincess]

Tears in my eyes! The feeling of a little show you created being loved by so many people! I love it! God im so sad i never saw in The Heights, because i live to far away and its exspensive traveling to New York. But i will see it one day! When I have enough money i call the actors myself to do a reprise for moi and the real fans (:

[rebelprincess64]

i'm so sad that ITH is closing :[

[megakingmj]

OMG, this is COOL!!!!!

[sjpark1995]

omg lin is so cute!

[Rapatitoes]

amazing!!!!

[xiamxmex]

i just found this vid like yesterday or the day before & ive already watched it like 25 times.

[DancinSheldon]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! I Cannot watch this video enough. The feeling from when the entire crowd joins and CLAPS! That's magic like no other. Thank you FlashmobAmerica for every one of these you create!

[Gazurella]

His reaction was amazing. This is amazing. He was so touched.

[steffany16]

omg, Lin-Manuel Miranda is so cute! <3 haha

Love this show so much!

[sakeness]

This is GREAT!!! I Love LIN!!!!!

[saphuras1122]

I think I've fallen in love with this musical

[delilking]

2:27 best moment!!!! 

[MusicOrMisery114]

I love how Lin becomes speechless with excitement towards the end. This must have been really special for him!

[BroadwayNerd123]

i dont like the asian!!

[theofficefan731]

Lin's expression throughout this whole thing made it so rewarding. I can truly see the astonishment in his eyes of how a little show he wrote could become this enormous and popular. The fact that 300+ people dedicated this dance to him must have been such a high point in his career. Lin-Manuel Miranda has most definitely found his island.

[nitroxxxxxx]

leute ihr seid geil !!! weiter so !!!!! =)

[berlande101]

flashmob...i saw ur "ad" on onesourcetalent

[playhart]

where the fuck waz i!!!!! i missed it!!!!

[awesomekk143]

i've watched this 30 times already. and i won't ever get tired of this and this musical.

[moncmass]

If any one out there has not seen the show go.....it is one of the best musicals I have ever seen on broadway, I think Mr. Miranda is a genius!

[dirtbikergrl18]

I was there to watch the Backstreet Boys concert...My friend and I were walking from the Hard Rock when suddenly the music stopped. I was very confused after I saw the three main guys walking forward I thought that it was a music video...I even started clapping when everyone else did. I only realized it was a flash mob when everyone stopped clapping and broke into dance lol...It was fun though and very interesting.

[debh3]

I've watched this over and over - so great!!! A great way to promote the musical run in LA and a surprise for Miranda...... so awesome!!!!! I will catch this musical sometime soon, road trip or not......

[AChance2Fly]

THIS iS SICK!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS AND LIN!!!!

[MMMazing15]

I think someone's mouse slipped and clicked the "dislike" button.

This is so incredible

[lillybet1]

I so wish I could be a part of somthing like this. So much fun and enjoyment for the performers and the audience. Amazing.

[Maestrojosh87]

OH MY GAAAAAH!!! If only I was here.

[siloeroxx]

cant wait for the 31st woot woot....

[calialoha25]

my favorite comment while dancing in this was by this family as I walked by who said, "YAYYYYY , IT'S LIKE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!" and then father in the family said, "No, honey, this is Universal not Disneyland." Then as I walking into my place, I saw them move, and the kid said to his dad, "No see I was right. It is High School Musical, see he's in the movie." (pointing at me). LOL by far one of the funniest moments. i high five'd the kid when we walked away at the end of the performance.

[lordofthescooby]

His reaction is the best.

[ortizn05]

By far the best Flashmob ever!!!!!!

[kevherrera]

SO SIIIIICK!! i was working that day, at Buca Di Beppo right around the corner.

So sad I missed this..

[GYOChardonWest]

Dear Flashmobamerica, I love this video more today than I did when I first saw it. I didn't think that was possible but there it is. With 30 thousand views I wish I can prove that I am responsible for 15 thousand of those views. I can not stop watching!! Either I am watching, telling friends to watch it, or sleeping. It's that bad! Well that GOOD actually. Beautifully done. This was a wonderful gift for Mr. Miranda.

[KymsPink59Cadi]

are you guys doing a flash mob for national dance day on July 29th I think it is?

[roecious]

@KymsPink59Cadi Yes. On July 31st.

[KymsPink59Cadi]

@roecious GREAT.... are you planning a video to teach us the dance? Or is it just for professionals,and where is it going to be? Or is this a secret? Anyway just wondering...So happy you are doing it. Did you hear they might make dancing a national holiday? Pretty cool if they do...thanks Roecious...

[roecious]

@KymsPink59Cadi Location is secret right now. Yes, we will have a video to teach the dance. That would be so great to actually make it a national holiday!

[JoleenNordstrom]

@KymsPink59Cadi

Kym! I would be so happy if you came to National Dance Day!! Let me/us know if you do so you can meet up with us that would be awesome! :~)

[surfsexsea]

My friend took me last night as a surprise and it was awesome! In The Heights is here and L.A needs to see it! I cried, laughed, cried, laughed, cried, laughed!

[monnyclubs]

I KNEW HE WAS ALVIE FROM HOUSE!!!...I love him :)

[60daystillmay]

THIS WAS AMAZING!

[aTWASProduction]

that was s0 amazing a i even cryed! I love how a whole community can come together and perform this. It's beautiful. Lin-man, has inspired us ALL!!!

[JaymoLACa]

These flash mob things are such old news.

Hey, "In The Heights": Get a new PR agency

[cutiepiedev]

I saw In the Heights last night at the Pantages!!! Absolutely amazing. This was a great flash mob! Lin looked like he loved it! good job!

[mustangmonica]

Loved it. His reaction was so warm and genuine. Not only his initial reaction to "hey that's my song" when her first heard the feed over the speakers but then to see over 300 people choregraphed to it. Amazing. You could tell he was so touched and moved by it!!

[liameg528]

I love Lin-Manuel Miranda.

[cherisx]

This is so great. I LOVE Flash Mob! I used to live in Washington Heights and am excited to be seeing the show tonight. This was a great precursor to seeing the show. Great job guys.

[tookietookie123]

I wonder what people who aren't dancers do if they get caught in the middle lol

[GYOChardonWest]

I have no idea how many times I've watched this!!! Love it love it love it Question: what's the guy's name who's playing Benny? I think I love him. At least I love the way the way he moves. For real though.....

[ShackNastyVideos]

ooo last note pretty much ruins it

[badger4obama]

Aww, he looks so happy! And he definitely deserves it!  He's so talented and really cute!

[prmumba]

Flashmobamerica you guys are so amazing and are getting better and better. i see big things in ur future. I did a few flashmobs with u last year and moved away but im comin back next year and i just cant wait to flashmob again!

[sungirl21]

You know what gets old?... Rudeness and negativity!  Something these flash mobs completely counteract.

[wolfisms]

It's still fun to watch days after the event. Saw the show Fri night, then was in the Flash Mob the next day. A total ITH weekend. Looking forward to seeing the show again next week.

[zekarkovacs]

@saintsnbraves2 by your own logic, why are you sitting around watching youtube?

[ajazzydancer]

It bothers me a little that they were all lip syncing, It would have been nice to actually hear the crowd singing. I could tell that it was the recording. but Lin's face was great.

[toolateturk]

Enough with the Flash mobs - This serves better as a FANTA commercial - SO L.A.(m.e.). If you're not OPRAH or the show WEEDS or in NYC - nah...don't do it.

[saintsnbraves2]

This shit is getting old. Instead of doing this pointless crap, fly to the gulf coast and volunteer to help clean up the oil spill! Wait! That involves work.

[flashmobamerica]

@saintsnbraves2 Are you in the gulf volunteering? 

[saintsnbraves2]

@flashmobamerica Yes I do volunteer. I'm from the area.

[flashmobamerica]

@saintsnbraves2 That's awesome that you are doing that! I'm sorry for what is going on in your area.

So you know, what we did actually did involve work. A lot. It was something fun to do. And it has also brought joy to thousands! And clearly everyone involved is having the time of their life.I know you're just looking at a video on your computer, but we actually are people trying to do something good in the world. To shit on this is just ridiculous.

[offbook]

@saintsnbraves2 quit trolling

[saintsnbraves2]

@offbook You're a little late with your comment.

[offbook]

@saintsnbraves2 Apparently not cuz you're still trolling.

[ctwomey]

@saintsnbraves2 Sometimes in the midst of helping our fellow man, we need to recharge our batteries with a little fun and good cheer. That's what these things are all about, IMO.

I'm in the middle of a job search, and the lack of opportunities has given me a wee bit of depression. Watching this video made me smile and feel happy for the first time in weeks! Not every altruistic action has to be the size of parting the Red Sea. Sometimes just giving someone a glass of water is a lifesaver.

[flashmobamerica]

@ctwomey Thank you for the comment! Glad we were able to put a smile on your face and bring you some joy!!

[graceofgroove]

@saintsnbraves2 ahhh, haterade. Often tart, always bitter.

Whether you're volunteering to perform surgery in a warzone, rehabilitate injured animals, read to kids, plant trees, clean up oil/tar balls or spread joy through art or by simple act s of kindness, it's all about positively affecting your fellow man. Lighten up and quit judging the worth of other people's contributions according to your standards.

[flashmobamerica]

@graceofgroove YES! Well said!! Very well said!

[wednesdayschild91]

@graceofgroove lol, haterade...i gotta use that

[wed3k]

@saintsnbraves2

nobody gives of a flying fuck with your gulf problems.

[saintsnbraves2]

@wed3k You should give a fuck! Those cars in your video won't run without oil, idiot!

[FireGirlG]

@saintsnbraves2 While I commend your efforts as a volunteer, there's no reason to make comments like that. For the record, you don't know any of these people, or what sorts of community service they may already be into. There's no shame in a group of people doing something fun, and for somebody else. They did this for fun and as surprise for Lin-Manuel Miranda. And stuff like this isn't a complete waist of time either; when stuff like this happens it breaks up the monotony of day to day life.

[saintsnbraves2]

@FireGirlG lol

[FireGirlG]

@saintsnbraves2 You can laugh all you want. For all you know, these people may volunteer at a number of places. I'm not trying to insult you, I'm just pointing out a plain and simple fact.

[Antenox]

@saintsnbraves2

No need to be cynical. Things that inspire good cheer also inspire good acts.

Negativity and cynicism, on the other hand, do nothing but depress and discourage, and may even do more harm than good, even when used to push people to a worthy cause.

[MichiPepper06]

AMAZING!!!!!!!

[Gamerguy3379]

Oh man. I so wish I could have participated in this.

[ctapgoy]

Tears and goose bumps. You guys absolutely killed it!

[malp1]

If the movie version of IN THE HEIGHTS looks anywhere near this good, it will be a blockbuster. Truly awesome!

[ReiNocturna]

Amazing! Definitely put a grin on my face, and that must have been so fun to put together!

[GYOChardonWest]

Without a doubt the best video I have ever seen. So much love! Lin earned that honor. My hat goes off to whoever thought of this, plan it and pulled it off. This is all I want to watch all day long.

[flashmobamerica]

@GYOChardonWest THANK YOU!! Love your comment! We worked hard putting this together and your comment makes it all worth it! Please pass it on so others can get the same joy you experienced. Thanks again!

[GYOChardonWest]

@flashmobamerica Thank you for thanking me but more importantly thank you for posting this!!!

[Koolm5]

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!! Lin is so great...loved his reaction. I am so lucky that I got to meet him in person. In the Heights rocks....I would have loved to be there.

[rickweaver]

OMG!!!!!!! I loved this! I have seen this show 17 times on Broadway (and got to do a walk-on role in the show in NYC)!!!! Can't wait for the movie!!!!!!!! Lin you are amazing! Thanks for changing my life with this show!!!!!!!
