Although the music was unique and good for broadway, i thought the story itself was pretty contrived. I'm not hating or nothing, but the story didn't do much for me. I don't feel the conflict was strong enough to create a memorable story. it was as if he was more concerned with the music rather than the story. Now, Passing Strange was the shit.
love it!!!<3<3<3<3 i saw it for a 16th b-day surprised best prez ever!!! ik almost every word 2 every song lol XD n i startd rapping this song in chipmunk lol
The very soul of NYC resides north of 145th St. Anyone who wants to see what makes America's most important city and business seat move and breathe must take a trip to Washington Heights.
i sang a melody of this musical when i was in high school =D the best ever! and we got to preform when it was being showcased in Chicago music festival =) man fantastic times! NNHS!!! fun times. Lin-Manuel Miranda could not have been a more down to earth and fantastic person, thanks for coming to visit our school and us!! =D
Oh God, I want to see this musical SO BAD! I've only seen one Broadway show, for which I'm very lucky, and it was Wicked. It was amazing. I still wanna see this, though!
amazing. like a 1 street version of rent. saw it instead of addams family, cuz it was sold out and i was happy i missed out on it. cuz we had down stair seats.
Saw tht play was amazing plus it was the first one I ever seen it was mind blowing every little detail was in there Enjoyable wish they would put tht on DVD would be nice =D
I can SO identify with the people in this musical, especially NIna, even though I dont live in the USA, but my situation is kind of the same! Lin did such a fantastic job focusing on this topic and transforming it in such an artistic way!
corbin bleu doesn't really pass as a hispanic kid living in the ghetto in my mind, so i'm not sure that would work.also lin manuel miranda just made it perfect,so i don't see how you could really get it better than the guy who wrote the script.but i could be wrong. (but i think i'm right)
Lin-Manuel Miranda was THE BEST. Corbin DOES NOT belong in that musical. AT ALL. He needs to go back to "High School Musical." No one can do what Lin can. I saw it. He makes an okay Usnavi. Lin composed it. Lin will be Usnavi forever. Props to Lin and all of the original cast!!!! :D
You are insane. My friend saw him life. HE IS AMAZING AT USNAVI. I hate his music usually, and I know is more of a 'modern music icon', but hey- HE MAKES A GREAT USNAVI
corbin bleu actually made an impressive transition from film to a live musical! i was surprised, but you should definitely go see it and give him a chance before making your decision. he is very, very good!
Ok so I went to this play last week, and Corbin Bleu was sort of.... average. His acting and singing was good, but being from High School Musical I was expecting more dancing. There was lots of great dancing, but none of it involved Corbin. The play itself is good, it just takes a while to get into it. Worth the money.
@itsmda luuuuuckyyyyyyyyyy!! u got to see corbin bleu perform!!! >u< i saw Lin Miranda perform when they first showed the musical in downtown san jose! it was soooo cool! :)
I saw it last month, really liked it! Won the lottery so we got front row center seats to it. Afterward I met the actress who played Vanessa, who was also in the movie Deathproof so that was cool
I saw the musical in NY recently and It was really really great. A pity I have problems to understand spoken and sung english, so I did not understand much of the letters. But it was cool indeed.
I saw it with the orignal Cast a couple of years ago. I attened some after school prgram at my school and one of the workers his girlfreind was a dancer in the show so she got us free tickets . I also I have a few friends from Washigton heights. I live close to the Heights too.
@Deuszada Just came back from the musical. No lies, he's incredible. He doesn't look like he does in Highschool Musical. His voice is strong. Disney songs do not tdo justice to his talent.
@Deuszada It definitely worked. I saw it two nights ago on Broadway. He's actually brilliant. Instead of being fun like Miranda, whom just to say, is of course my favorite Usnavi, he instead made the character more of a tense, uptight store manager, like he was always stressed or something. Its hard to explain but it was great.
Im gonna dance this in march :D #PuertoRico!
