In The Heights . . . I Believe In Chris Jackson

On the occasion of our brother Chris Jackson's last day at Heights, the good folks at Radical Media put together a collage of Chris moments over the years for the cast and crew, which we all watched together onstage just before Chris' last show. I wanted to share it with y'all.

Chris, love you homey. Can't wait for the album, we'll plug it here first.

Thanks to Paul Bozymowski for editing, Andrew Fried for making it happen, and thanks to Tim Pettolina, Justin Rathbun and Chris Kurtz for figuring out how to pimp the Rodgers into an impromptu movie theater for the occasion.

@SamTheatre There's meh news and good news. The meh news is that I have no idea if there are plans to put out a DVD. That conversation happens a bit above my pay grade, between producers and the good folks at Radical, and what have you. The GOOD news is that I know they have HUNDREDS of hours of footage. What you've seen is the snowflake at the tip of the iceberg, and I'm sure more of it will emerge over the life of this show. Small comfort, I know. But nice to know it exists, right?

That was beautiful! I was lucky enough to see the entire original cast. I was in the very back and the energy onstage just smacked me in the face. Incredible. I wanted to thank you Mr. Lin-Manuel Miranda for making such a beautiful piece of theatre. I was truly lucky and honored to see In The Heights!

Hey Lin!

I have a question. Was the show fully recorded by Radical at the time this documentary was being made or were just a few scenes recorded? - If so, why are they unable to release this amazing show on DVD? That would make me one of the happiest person alive, owning the full show on DVD with it's original cast.

The thing I love about seeing the original cast together, is how much of a family they really are. They all have this bond, even through a computer screen, that feels just powerful. And it shows on stage. I love having that feeling in a production. The saddest part is when its over </3

Really sad that I never got to see this live :((

Chris Fother Muckin Jackson, makes me want to play Benny someday.

Release a DVD!!! :D

This montage brought tears to my eyes (and I wasn't even lucky enough to have seen the show EVER)! It's nice to see how dreams come true. This gives me personally so much hope and inspiration for my own life!
