Karen Olivo is unmistakably the best thing about West Side Story, and the new Vanessa (her name escapes me, I'm sorry ._.) is also very awesome in the role.
OMG i love the music in this show! I would give anything to be able to go to new york and see it but I am a 14 year old living in kansas so my chances of seeing it any time soon are extremely slim.
lol...im 14 too! i am a broadway junkie! i live in miami thou....i wud do anything to got to newyork! the first thing im gonna see is in the heightz! then legally blonde of course! lol
my uncle will be mad at me for this but, i think the music from in the hiegts is a little bit better than passing strange(my ucle plays youth in passing strange i hop ehe doesn't read this comment)
I saw this show 2 weeks ago. I met Lin-Manuel Miranda, Robin De Jesus, Christopher Jackson, and a bunch of the other actors. I was literally three rows away from the stage. Congrats on winning best musical and best score!!!
I travel there only to see it and it's worthed, I'm from Puerto Rico too. Yo se que las cosas estan malas aqui pero vale la pena ir a verla. El dinero es para disfrutarlo. espero que vayas.
Haha. That song that starts on 2:59 is awesome. The pacing and score works so well together. I wonder if the 13 nominations already signifies that this musical has tied up the Tony.
very recommended. good luck on getting tickets to it, after winning a best musical tony this show is almost certain to be booked solid for a long time.
I thought she may have been sick. She still sounded great, but she normally belts basically the entire song. I was wondering why she wasnt up to her usual standard of fierceness..
It was also 8 or 9 in the morning..so it would probably be really hard to be able to sing JUST as well as she would at night AND she was outside in the cold.
yeah, I felt bad that she cracked, but it's understandable. It was super early in the morning. I don't think she had half an hour for her to warm up completely and stuff.
GRAFFITI PETE!
