Blackout is a work of genius. I remember seeing it in 2010 - the entire audience was shitting their pants thinking the power had actually gone out. And what a dramatic way to end the first act! In terms of showstoppers, it really doesn't get much better than this.
fidelcanojr I was comment the same thing. I say it during its touring season the same year I think. I still remember how confusing it was then when it clicked...it was amazing and the crowd cheered cuz we all got it at the same time haha.
100% when he was younger he never got the lead role and at one point the theatre teacher told him if he wants to be the lead so bad then write his own plays
@@tedd-ivan I'm honestly scared to see how this is gonna play in the movie. Blackout is just meant for the stage. I don't think the movie will be able to capture the same awesomeness
They way usnavi tries so hard to get a dance in with Vanessa in the musical version puts a whole new meaning to the movie’s “Don’t make me laugh I’ve been trying all night you’ve been shakin your ass for like half of the heights”
Yeah I agree, I've never seen the original version of the musical but seeing it in this video how Vanessa was dancing with other people and Usnavi was trying his best to be with her while in the movie he practically just gave her up and then tried to be a show off towards her by dancing with someone else. Honest to God, the movie version just makes him seem more like an asshole while the original version makes Vanessa seem like a conceited bitch if you know what I mean.
As someone from England i can only imagine how scary blackouts in New York must be, the musical really capture this, however what made this very real was the panic in the audience and the collective sigh and relieved laughter as they realised the blackout was part of the show.
I saw this in London and it was amazing ! It was in a really small theatre where the stage was in the middle of the audience which made you rly feel like you were immersed in it
My parents when there was a massive blackout in NYC during the 70’s and according to them, it was just as bad, if not more so, based on the accuracy of this scene. I even remember my mom crying after this scene ended
@@theumbrellaone5772 Well, I'd say it's more to do with blackouts in big cities like New York, as they're interconnected, and mainly lit up by buildings and stree lights, so taking all that away leaves everything in darkness. As well as that, power cuts are less common as than in more rural areas, so there are less precautions taken. And with all that, there are people who would take advantage of the situation, as there always are. Like in the song, with people trying to rob Usnavi's store.
I WAS WATCHING CLOSELY THE FIGHT SCENE BEFORE THE BLACKOUT AND I AM LAUGHING TOO HARD BECAUSE THIS IS GENIUS: 1.- Immediately after Benny punches this guy Everything kinda freezes and Usnavi is in the back holding Vanessa like yo wtf 2.- Graffiti Pete ditches the girl he's dancing with and pushes her aside. 3.- Nina reaches to stop Benny and Graffiti Pete pulls her back towards the girl he was dancing with. 4.- Usnavi freaking pushing the guy who wants to punch Benny lmao 5.- Some guy helps Usnavi up before some other guy tries to pick a fight with him. 6.- Graffiti Pete kinda TWIRLED the guy Benny punched and threw him off. 7.- Benny escapes the hold of Hat Guy and Nina tried to calm him down. He pushes her away. 8.- Vanessa goes and KICKS the guy with the hat XD 9.- And Daniela, in the far left, is pulling a shoe off to throw it to someone XDD All in, like, 10 seconds. This scene is amazing, the whole thing.
Another funny thing is even when the fight starts graffiti pete is still dancing with the girl until he sees benny get punched then his reaction is just like "so you have chosen death"
To layer that many disparate parts together so seamlessly is genius. And the choreography is on point. This cast must have lost 10 lbs a show keeping up with the pacing.
I can't watch or listen to blackout without crying. Both the Broadway version and the movie version. It really just breaks me, due to its emotion and the energy... Am I crazy?
the movie version didn't really do it for me, maybe just cause i love the whole narrative of blackout in the broadway version. the theatre actually blacking out, abuela showing usnavi the money, benny and nina's fight and then reconciling cause the urgency of the blackout makes them forget their fight... it's the perfect emotional climax to end the first act on. i totally agree, i cant listen to blackout without smiling ear to ear when i hear the first "look at the fireworks". the song is really perfect and makes me feel things every single time i listen to it
@@bethgarcia1838 they didnt do it bc they didnt want to portray minorities as violent/aggressive, it would come off a little tone deaf considering the political landscape. plus the time period is different, nowadays pretty much everyone has a phone with a flashlight, they didnt have that back when this musical came out so it was more chaotic
The version of Blackout in the movie just absolutely sucks, especially when it comes to capturing the chillingness and horror that this scene originally carries.
@@foxtatertot I think it was just another version of a blackout. Daniela even says: "En Puerto Rico blackouts happend all the time and we still threw a fiesta" It wants to portray how latinos live throught blackouts and comparing it to gringos latinos
Not a lot of people surprisingly know about this show. The movie is releasing next year tho and it'll hopefully blow up by then. So if I were you, I'd consider myself early then rub it proudly in every newcomers' faces.
I remember seeing this live on Broadway for the first time and seeing the lights go out, my whole family thought something happened in the theater! And then when they started singing and the lights came on it was like “oh this is part of it!” 😂
The first time I saw Benny and Nina kiss beneath the fireworks I clapped my hands and had the hugest smile on my face. Such a romantic and beautiful scene with a couple I love!
Most of the time, Usnavi is an absolute dork. When dudes flirt with his girl, he turns into an absolute savage and asserts dominance by humiliating them lmao
Usnavi’s really quick nervous babbling gets me every time. “Usnavi, relaaaax.” “Relaxed? Qué relaxed? I’m relaxed!” “Man that’s fucked up she’s trying to make you jealous!” “Jealous? I ain’t jealous! I could take all the fellas, whateva!”
Quintin Roper I can never hear her until she says the last word. She has a spotlight on her window because she has a line. This is what she says: [DANIELA] Mira, mi amor Házme un favor! Despiérta la abuela y a lo mejor ella tiene una vela! Estuve bailando cuando vino el apagón Aqui hay gente pero no sé quienes son!
“What’s going on? What’s going on? Suddenly I find the electricity is gone. What’s going on? What’s going on? I gotta guard the store, make sure nothings going wrong. What’s going on? What’s going on?! gotta find Usnavi tell him what is going on! Nothing is on! NOTHING IS ON! And I can’t find usnavi!” For anyone wondering-
I don't understand why the movie cut out all the tense scenes between Nina and Benny and her parents - even if they added more dialogue about racism, the dynamic between all the characters in the movie was nowhere near as interesting as in the show.
They just made the entire thing a cheesy inoffensive love story between Nina and Benny, but even then they didn't even keep the most romantic song between them, Sunrise
i just love how Usnavi and Benny are being complete goofs from 5:06 to 5:19 and how Usnavi (and graffiti Pete), being the good bro he is, ran over to punch the guy after Benny is pulled away (5:50 - 5:59)
I feel like y'all are missing that the In the Heights movie takes place in modern times, and Blackouts aren't as big of a panic-inducing thing nowadays. Like you can literally just turn on a phone flashlight and go home
@@edwardjacobus6986 I think you're ignoring that this blackout took place right after a fight went down at a club which could have easily lead to someone's death and induce mass panic. Not to mention there were literal thugs and looters who immediately jumped on the opportunity to break into stores and rob them. The characters are aware of the state of the town they live so such an occurrence like this is legitimately dangerous and terrifying. Also most of them did go home right after, they just needed to find the people they came to the club with and were naturally concerned about their safety.
@@sooyeonkim6550 Benny and Nina deserved better. They're leads dammit! Their storyline is so important. And they cut all of it to prop up Usnavi and Vanessa. They didn't need to do that. Ugh :(
@@mione134 its ironic too how they removed the colorism issue that happened between benny and nina's father in the movie but it appeared in a real life issue,
@@mione134 nina and bennys story in the story was underdeveloped and lacked conflict, i wish they showed their conflict at the dinner and at the club& blackout scene, then sunrise !! How could they remove that song😭
I’ve always wanted to see what was happening during these songs!! Just from the soundtrack you know so much is going on. That kiss with Benny and Nina! OMG!
I remember seeing this with my class back in 2009/10. For our senior trip ! We had so much fun and related so much to the characters and their experiences!! Being there in person with my class, and everyone in the theater will be a core memory for me forever. There’s really no words to describe the energy. Just simply amazing and awesome !!!
Where's my Nina, find my Nina. If you see my family please bring her home. 🥺 I love Nina's Father so much. I wish more of his parts were put in the movie.
It's "please find Nina / find Camila / if you see my family / bring them home" because Camila isn't with him either in that moment, but yeah, I wish we saw more of the original content in the movie too
this kind of stuff sadly happens all the time, fortunately in spain it’s become a pride thing to not go after someone who rejected you once, so this kind of stuff has started to become less frequent. That’s a huge step considering how us hispanics are!!
In high school I did sounds for this musical and the blackout moments were the toughest because I had to mute, raise, and cut lights in the sound booth within 10 seconds of each other.
@@sarahh1511 yeah it's my favorite song with Breathe. I'm glad they at least put the instrumental part of Sunrise when Usnavi finds the lottery ticket.
@@sydneytrainsareshit It's always cool seeing someone with a different opinion. I personally enjoyed the interpretation of Vanessa in the film more than on the stage. Not comparing Karen and Melissa btw, imo they both play their version of the character well

I just recently thought: “where’s Vanessa when the fight breaks out?” At 5:52 you see her break away from Usnavi to hide in a corner, but then literally 5 seconds later starts kicking someone on the ground 😂💀😂
the realisation that Sonny’s talking about Usnavi’s store’s garage door “it’s late and this grate won’t come down”, and the flashes of lights are fireworks
I was just watching this on my break because i wanted to see how they did the scene… and uh.. Anyways i’m crying now. I didn’t expect to feel so moved like this

@@edwardjacobus6986 I think you're ignoring that this blackout took place right after a fight went down at a club which could have easily lead to someone's death and induce mass panic. Not to mention there were literal thugs and looters who immediately jumped on the opportunity to break into stores and rob them. The characters are aware of the state of the town they live so such an occurrence like this is legitimately dangerous and terrifying. Also most of them did go home right after, they just needed to find the people they came to the club with and were naturally concerned about their safety.
I have been waiting for something like this
Had to come here to cleanse my palate after watching the movie. Nothing beats the OBC. The movie cut out so many things.
The way they cut out a lot of benny and nina's scenes😭
@@sooyeonkim6550 Benny and Nina deserved better. They're leads dammit! Their storyline is so important. And they cut all of it to prop up Usnavi and Vanessa. They didn't need to do that. Ugh :(
@@mione134 its ironic too how they removed the colorism issue that happened between benny and nina's father in the movie but it appeared in a real life issue,
@@mione134 nina and bennys story in the story was underdeveloped and lacked conflict, i wish they showed their conflict at the dinner and at the club& blackout scene, then sunrise !! How could they remove that song😭
@@sooyeonkim6550 AGREED! 100%.
I’ve always wanted to see what was happening during these songs!! Just from the soundtrack you know so much is going on. That kiss with Benny and Nina! OMG!
I remember seeing this with my class back in 2009/10. For our senior trip ! We had so much fun and related so much to the characters and their experiences!! Being there in person with my class, and everyone in the theater will be a core memory for me forever. There’s really no words to describe the energy. Just simply amazing and awesome !!!
Where's my Nina, find my Nina. If you see my family please bring her home. 🥺
I love Nina's Father so much. I wish more of his parts were put in the movie.
It's "please find Nina / find Camila / if you see my family / bring them home" because Camila isn't with him either in that moment, but yeah, I wish we saw more of the original content in the movie too
I really miss 'Inútil'
7:20 pete showing he cares for sonny and wants to protect him and sonny tryign to protect the store he grew up in
i got so startled when blackout started im i
help i love this musical i need to listen to the whole thing
I had only heard the soundtrack before.
Chills, just...chills.
Wish I could have seen it
My high school is doing this musical and I’m so excited to be in it. I’m one of the dancers in the Club scene and IM SHAKING 😁😁
I hope it went well!
that sounds so amazing, i hope you got to do it!
I wish this stayed on broadway. but now we have a movie so its not so bad
YES!!!!!! OBC!!!!
2:19 *Lin...xd*
Ooooh so Benny gets into that fight because the guy is touching Nina inappropriately and won't leave her alone....🤔
Also Pete looking after Sonny until Usnavi can gives me LIFE!
@@nellebolton7910 yeee Sonny and Pete r so cutee
this kind of stuff sadly happens all the time, fortunately in spain it’s become a pride thing to not go after someone who rejected you once, so this kind of stuff has started to become less frequent. That’s a huge step considering how us hispanics are!!
Oh I thought it was cuz he was jealous
@@sharpaycutie2 eh. Its probably a bit of both
I can't describe it, blackout just is an amazing song, I can't explain it, it gives me chills it's beautiful
Blackout is my favourite song from any musical. It gives me chills
I was watching this at 3%, N I N A X B E N N Y
In high school I did sounds for this musical and the blackout moments were the toughest because I had to mute, raise, and cut lights in the sound booth within 10 seconds of each other.
tbh im still a bit bitter they gave nina and benny’s part to vanessa and usnavi in the movie but it’s ok it’s ok
Benny and Nina are glorified extras in the movies
I'm so sad they cut Sunrise
@@aphreyy I know! I was sooo looking forward to it!
@@sarahh1511 yeah it's my favorite song with Breathe. I'm glad they at least put the instrumental part of Sunrise when Usnavi finds the lottery ticket.
@@aphreyy true
This is the part I'm most excited to see when the movie comes out!!!
usnavi punching people *yes*
Anyone else here after seeing the movie?? Overall it was great but I’m so disappointed they changed so much of Blackout :’(
I KNOWWWW BENNY AND NINA HAD NO FIGHTS
AND THEY MADE VANESSA SO UNLIKEABLE
@@sydneytrainsareshit THANK YOU! I thought Vanessa came off alot more unlikable in the movie. Maybe they wanted her that way.
@@tashaglam4824 ikkk wth in the musical she was way better. She seemed so stuck up in the movie.
@@sydneytrainsareshit It's always cool seeing someone with a different opinion. I personally enjoyed the interpretation of Vanessa in the film more than on the stage. Not comparing Karen and Melissa btw, imo they both play their version of the character well
Seriously love the club scene Lin’s dancing is just great I love the character usnavi 😂
Blackout gives me shivers no matter how many times I listen to it!
So originally it was Benny and Nina arguing but int the movie it was Usnavi and Vanessa arguing
VaNnEsSa

Here to cleanse myself of the changes from the film (loved the film btw I just have a soft spot for the original)
I love this club scene sooo much better than the movie.
THIS is beautiful.
Wait, is that the Richard Rodgers?
yep
Mhmm
NO ONE CAN RECREATE THE PANIC LIKE THE OBC IVE CHECKED TRUST ME
this musical makes me feel emotions i never knew i had
0:00 - the club
5:58 - blackout
SO MUCH IS GOING ON, AND IT'S AMAZING
I just recently thought: “where’s Vanessa when the fight breaks out?”
At 5:52 you see her break away from Usnavi to hide in a corner, but then literally 5 seconds later starts kicking someone on the ground 😂💀😂
i am in love with the “oh no”s that the ensemble sing in this song.
the original cast is gold in youtube
This scene could’ve been iconic in the movie had they stuck to the freaking Script
Gracias por subir-lo!

Wouldn't make a bit of sense story wise, but I wouldn't mind living in an alternate universe where this is the finale and I'm Home gets this spot.
the realisation that Sonny’s talking about Usnavi’s store’s garage door “it’s late and this grate won’t come down”, and the flashes of lights are fireworks
i am jealous of the audience that were able to experience that
i don't even know anything about this musical but this song made me want to see it live!
blackout alternate title:
*panic! at the disco*
"Yo, I can't see, quit shovin' mothafucka-"
Usnavi and Hamilton radiate so much short people energy
watching this slime tutorial after seeing the film version blackout just so i could feel something :^/

Poor Usnavi she’s started dancing with someone while he was talking to her and he followed her around trying to have a conversation 🥺
Blackout and inutil is one of my favorite songs from in the heights. Black out is such a work of genius i swear
Vaaaaaanesssssaaaaa
Help me figure out why every time Sonny tries to close the grate but it's stuck I start to choke up
I remember watching the movie {I don't usually cry during movies} and when abuela died, I cried so much.
Wait abuela died!!!!!!
Love. This. PERIOD!!!
My biggest flex is being a theater kid before tik tok made it cool to be one
Not complaining though, musicals are amazing and I’m glad many people are discovering musicals and loving them
it is not and never will be cool to be a theater kid
TikTok doesn’t think it cool lmao we’re still seen as being weird
I was just watching this on my break because i wanted to see how they did the scene… and uh..
Anyways i’m crying now. I didn’t expect to feel so moved like this
2:22 AHHAHAHHA OH MY GOSH
dID USNAVI JUST PANTS SOMEONE I-
