It won't be long now -In the Heights ( Original Soundtrack )

[JustMeDom]

she is amazing!



[RhiannonSings397]

Whenever i hear this song, i just get this indescribable magical feeling...It's great:)

[aleguytube]

ojala hicieran este musical en latinoamerica!!!!!!

[quiroz923]

@aleguytube Sabes? no sé qué tan factible sería. Es un musical muy, muy latino, pero también es muy, muy local. Habla de los latinos, pero de los latinos newyorquinos. Incluso ignorando referencia locales (como las direcciones en Benny's dispatch) que realmente no me preocupan tanto, en la traducción se perdería mucho, particularmente el uso del Spanglish. El español le da sabor a un musical para angloparlantes, pero presentado 100% en español... no sé que tan factible sería.

[aleguytube]

@quiroz923 Si me he dado cuenta, pero igual seria para publico que conozca y le gusten los musicales, quizas con pequeñas adaptaciones podria funcionar :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

[aleguytube]

que cancion tan magica!

me pone feliz cada vez que la escucho!!

[Thestralsxxx]

OK, why does Daniela say cono? Doesn't that translate as a kind of swear?

[khonsmosis]

@Thestralsxxx It means damn in spanish. It's spelled Kono. With an accent over the n. And they much worse things than damn in this play.

[Thestralsxxx]

@khonsmosis Oh OK thanks, when I loooked it up they said like "cunt" or "fuck" and that seemed a bit harsh when she was only saying she was thirsty.

[ArielleAdventure8]

@Thestralsxxx yeaah there's some swearing in there... :P like in no me diga showever you spell it which means b****

[Thestralsxxx]

@ArielleAdventure8 I thought no me diga was more like, You don't say???...

Oh Spanish! How you are so interesting!

[adriannacvilla]

@Thestralsxxx Yes, that is what it means. It literally translates to "Don't tell me", but it's used like 'You don't say!' in the song. The person talking about them saying bitch was referring to the beginning of the song when all the girls call Nina "Vieja, sucia, cabrona!" which means "Old, dirty, bitch!" haha ;)

[kayliedarling]

theyre making it into a movie. :) and im pretty sure lin-manuel miranda is still going to be usnavi. :)

[kiwifruit576]

for 5 people its gonna be long now

[lachispaxo9]

no pare, sigue sigue <3

[Weeds2Roses]

@lachispaxo9 Before I heard this song, I was SO confused whenever my friend would randomly say that line. "Don't stop, keep going, keep going" sounds kind of dirty out of context, hahaha. :D

[dancerm]

The Original cast was amazing <3

[DRzCalderon]

No pare, Sigue, Sigue!! Lol

[amberlin360]

I saw this musical and this song, as well as 9600 and Carnaval de barrio, gave me this feeling of being proud of my roots. Gosh Mr. Miranda is awsome!! so talented! If you do get the oportunity to see the movie please do! the music, as well as the play its just awsome!!

[snowstarwarrior135]

I so wanted to see this but then...of course... they have to take it off broadway :(

We were going to have backstage passes and everything... sadsadsadface. This looks like such AN AMAZING PLAY!!!!

[livelacrosse56]

@snowstarwarrior135 why?

[snowstarwarrior135]

@livelacrosse56 they are preparing for the travel groups so they took it off of Broadway...

[suchacometonitsway]

The music gives me chills!!!

[theofficefan731]

@bronzedbeauty947 i met her last week. such an incredible person!!!

[HotBabyBoy397]

[broadwaybound36]

Not only is she talented as hell, but I took a class with Karen Olivo, and shes such a beautiful person. so down to earth it's amazing.

[lepord64]

best part is usnavi and sonnys break down. Freakay Freakay

[penguinzluver213]

hahaha 2:43-3:27 usnavi was hilarious if you've seen the play remember the way usnavi jumped up on his toes when he's like 'dont touch me im too hot!! yeeesss!!!' lol

[westsidestory97]

One day, Karen Olivo and I will be best friends. <3 :D

[theofficefan731]

i'm running to make it home and home's where vanessa's running away from

[sweetducky12]

Does anyone know where to get the instrumental (not piano) to this song?

[ddmnlm0]

GOOD MORNING VANESSA

[quiroz923]

Hehe, alguien puso este video en el muro de in the heights en Facebook.

[MajesticTOASTER]

I love this song so much.

I always tear up.

[fowlertown]

@SingingJuliet No no... I think I meant your response to @tigsport85. If people are only allowed to say nice things, then what's the point?

[MGAgymnast]

beauty! =D <3

[MGAgymnast]

beauty! =D <3

[sk8rtuti]

I love this Instrumental

[choirgirl10]

I LOVE In the Heights and this is my favorite song

[SingingJuliet]

i love this song 2!!! its sooo good. i love how she is so excited in it.

[xWickedxRentx]

okay, i instantly fell in love with this song. o_o

[sweetponyjewel]

i'm singing this song all by myself and i'm scared to death...lol

[SatelliteEmpire]

This reminds of love in pudding. Pudding in love.

[Arkady63]

"You got some schmootz on your face..."

LMFAO! Only in NYC can a Domincan babe speak in Yiddish slang. Proof positive is at my own day job where the local Judios taught our version of Vanessa how to curse in their languages.

It's almost worth pissing her off just to see a drop-dead gorgeous Dominican chick rant in Hebrew and Yiddish.

Half the office is in love with her and the other half are women.

[zoobieshoes]

Oh snap, who's that, don't touch me I'm too hot! hahaha

[emmmmmmmie77]

best show evar!!!

[SuperBrittbabe]

i lOve this song i sang it for my college audition and belted evrynote to perfection they told me right there before i left htat i was accepted into the musical theater program and that i will be getting the letter in the mail within the next few weeks

[Lexigiggles]

@SuperBrittbabe Congrats!

[paigeob]

[imahmazinn]

[soprano746]

Omg my choir is singing the In The Heights Medley for our next concert!

[hoshiuusa]

AAAW im soooooo jelous

[Jennah9]

@soprano746 omg me too. and i realllyyyyy want this solo!!

[evpianofan830]

i'm officially addicted to this song....

[ValdezVideos]

i'm hooked onto this song now.

[rainman1344]

If your spanish, Then " Caranaval del barrio"

If your not, and ur a chick then " Sunrise"

And if ur a dude, Then " 96000"

|

(im not being racist, Its just i think this appeals more towards hispanic people because we understand it a bit more, The little jokes and shiz like dat.)

[R369piano]

Oh man, I can't wait to see this in the spring. It sounds awesome. I heard it got a tony award. I also heard a rumor a school that they're gonna make a movie. is this true?

[awtribute]

Yes, R369, Universal has bought the movie rights, but no news yet on any kind of timetable for making the movie.

[awtribute]

R369, ITH won 4 Tonys out of the 13 they were nominated for.

[KHDisneyATfan]

tho I think it should have won more, like best scenic design

[ilamusicalssm]

blackout

[Doomincognito]

Went to see this while it was still off broadway around a year ago - still makes me quake how fantastic he was. Lin's performance in the new episode of "House" really sparked my interest in his acting, which eventually brought me back to "In the Heights"

[martianZOZ]

Try "When You're Home". Hope you like it.

[TerribleGreenBlizzrd]

96,000 thousand, blackout, breathe? Those are they one I got interested in

[kandiie17]

try "no me diga"

hilarious.(:

[TheShannnOnn]

I officially hate my friend...she got me interested in "in the heights" and now i LOVE it! haha...

[kempokarate12]

freaking loooooove this musical!!!! i'm obsessed with it!!!! and this was such a good song!! but i saw her understudy and she sounded just like this girl. and i freaking love this musical!!!! i just wish it was still going, or that the touring cast is the same

[HikariDragonRyuu]

Actually, Karen Olivo isn't in the show anymore, her understudy is full-time now. I think Olivo was the best, but to each his own, I guess.

[kempokarate12]

oh there's no doubt she was the best. i'm just saying they did a good job casting the understudy because they sound very similar. but i do like karen better. and i must have seen it when her understudy was full time because like a week later it left broad-way. but yes, i agree with you

[krystina162010]

are they doin a movie???

[MissVivaLaVieBohem]

i wish i knew spanish! I love this musical alot, but i wish i knew what everthing means lol

[eclover1231]

i cant wait until the movie comes out!!!!!!!!!

[kempokarate12]

wait are you serious???!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! there's going to be a movie????????? oh man i'm so excited. hopefully if the people aren't these guys they'll do it justice

[FanOfMiLeyRay]

there is going to be film also

[Lara2001]

went to see this in new york was gutted cos i wanted to see spring awakening but apparantly its on tour but fell in love with this musical it is AMAZING!!!!

[tigsport85]

Good song, but the sound quality here sucks. The volume fluctuation is a tremendous nuisance.

[franko3110]

If u dislike it... buy the soundtrack!

[SingingJuliet]

@tigsport85 then dont comment.

[fowlertown]

@SingingJuliet One shouldn't comment unless they have nice things to say? Seems highly unproductive.

[SingingJuliet]

@fowlertown wat r u talking about? how was my comment not nice?

[danitiwa]

@tigsport85 It's not a good song. It's a GREAT song.

[MaDrEaMeR17]

My friend wrote about this song in a senior reflection as a song about breaking away. And she's sure right! I love this song!

[theatreprincess22]

omg i love this song.. she is such an awesome belter.. DYING TO SEE THIS MUSICAL

[gobananahs]

This song is lushhh!! i love itt maann!! =D

x

[shadia45]

the bachata part its so awesome!

[Lovermusicgirl1]

Does anyone know where I could find the Instumentals/karaoke version to this song?

[surfpretzelbsa]

so amazing:)

[SENTERSJA08]

Is the replacement anywhere close to Karen

[britrene17]

no not at all

[sillyjilly679]

alright, this character is supposed to be drop dead gorgeous...her replacement is not. they could of definitely done more to make her look better

i have no clue why she's leave ITH for WST

[cutfootloose211]

i LOVE this song!!!!

[isaacgould44]

Saw the show on May 17.  Was amazing. Highly recommend it for anybody wants to have a great evening!

[Jenniedvm]

I do believe I want to see this show when I go to NYC... It looks awesome!

~Jennie

[Ccgirl4]

I reallllyyyy love this song! Its so catchy! I love the background music lol it makes me happy

[SuperCheese1223]

yeah i went to a workshop too. But they dont let the leads do the wrokshop because its too tiring. we learned 96000 and then saw the show that night. it was AWESOME!

[imthatkindofperson]

I know Karen's dad. He's super cool, ive known him since i was very little, and I think both his daughters- Rocky and Karen are both amaaazing. So dont hate, yall.

[luvin40]

That is the truth. Great family!

[imthatkindofperson]

theyy are amazing.

(:

& now she's up for a Tony in West Side Story as Anita. (:

[basebelle]

I love Robin de Jesus. Why does nobody love him?

[clopezsparrow]

i love him!

i saw the original cast last december & he made me laugh SO hard.

[xJUSTxSINGxITxLOUDx]

I love him!!! He's in my favorite movie!

[bahamichelle]

He's awesome =] I love him =D

[ImaginaryMikey]

I LOVE HIM! I saw the show last sunday evening and it was his understudy. Which made me a little upset in the begining - but as soon as his understudy came out, I was in love all over again. Haha. He was fantastic

[ephmount2]

shut up ckluv2skat .

you couldn't do any better.

[elphiegreen]

relax...its an opinion...lol

[luvin40]

Karen is playing Anita in the revival of West Side Story. She's so awesome!

[dimondsanddaisies]

yeah she is amazing in west side story! saw in the heights with the new vanessa, she was really good too

[ImaginaryMikey]

I really want to see her in West Side! Actually last night, I saw Exit the King, and as we were comming out of the theatre and walking down the street, I could have SWORN she was right in front of us! I tried to catch up to her to say hi, but by the time I got to the corner she had already crossed and the sign was red. I was very sad. Haha. But I totally agree with you about the new Vanessa. She is indeed AMAZING! Saw her last sunday in ITH :-)

[Linl8]

The New Vanessa was great... They both have amazing voices.

[lbrj720]

Do u know who the new Vanessa is it's not Kkaren Olivio is it =)

[daughterxxnature]

this is my favorite song to sing ♥

[GeneralAdmissionBaby]

Our show choir is going to a workshop hosted by them. So yeah, I might just get to meet Vanessa and Usnavi! WOOHOO! Then we get to see the show after!

[twilighter112108]

[Miyroko2]

I really need it.

For a show I'm doing.

And my audition is tomorrow.

A little late to ask, right?

[franko3110]

[Miyroko2]

That's fine.

Thanks for uploading this wonderful song!

Not as good as it could have been.

But it was fine!

;]

[lululemondancer]

This song is my friend's tap solo

[rakelchar5]

I love! in the heights! is awesomeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jajaja la mas alienada

[dsmiertka]

im gonna see this soon, but i dont get what its about? can anyone help!?

[StormiDuh]

It's located in a poor community in Washington Heights. The main character is Usnavi, because his parents saw a big boat with Us Navy on the side, and decided they liked it. And Usnavi's love is Vanessa, and Benny's is Nina. And they want to travel I think, to find someone, and Usnavi's abuela wins the lottery, and they sing a song about winning $96,000; which is an amazing song. And the abuela makes Usnavi promise to guard it with his life. Not a great summary...you should see it(: It's great.
