I was aiming for those gorgeous clouds across a perfect field, but way to admit your fixation on my junk. Brave!
"billy?....open the door billy"
loved this haha
Why are people not clamoring for an album or something thats comprised of songs that were cut from the show?? I mean, 'Hear Me Out' is awesome, and 'No Me Meto' is hilarious!!!
I mean, it'd be cool to see (or hear, rather) the cast get back together for a recording session! :)
I adore Robin DeJesus!:3 I've seen Camp too many times haha! And I love in the heights! It's amazing! I hope there will be a movie! Hihi
As a theatre person, this is gold!!! Love to all who worked on this magical piece for soooooooo long ... and now my Latino acting students all want to do it!

Alabanza totally gave me chills. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
AHHH!! Natalie Cortez!!
*Looks at camera* Wepa.
I feel like I'm watching Lin's child's baby videos.
This so great! I love seeing how bits and pieces the songs that were dropped made it into the final show!
breathtaking, beautiful, incredible,unstoppable, EPIC!!
there are too many words I can use to describe the sound that came out of their mouths and your fabulous wake up call :)
thanks for everything Lin! You NEVER cease to amaze me :]] !!
I absolutely adore this video! I can't stop watching it! :)
Wow the show has changed a lot. And you can see Javi here- these rworkshops can really get you places.
ARGHHHH!!! I LOVE ROBIN DE JESUS!!!
Wow, so different! I love seeing stuff like this, just in the process of making a masterpiece! You're incredible Lin! :D
wow..so many things got changed. this is a gem- thank you!
Oh this is so cool! I love hearing the cut songs.
Yeah, love the song at 4:00.... i wish there was more Robin singing in the actual production.... :[
AH thanks for sharing this with us Lin! The harmonies on Alabanza sounded EXQUIRSITE!
I would love to be i a show with Robin and the rest of the cast of Heights. :)
OMG...so last night i couldnt sleep and came across the pbs Great Performances of In The Heights...and I stayed up till 4 to watch it!!! and I was BLOWN away its now one of my Fav. Musicals...MUST HAVE MORE!!!! (oh and i was So shocked to see a cast member that i have heard of no offense to anyone...but Robin Dejesus was in CAMP!! I love that show) But now i cant believe no one told me about ITH its Fantabulous!
wow! some things are soo different! i love it!
this is amazing!
wow those cut songs are beautiful man!
Thank you for this. It made my rather crappy last few days so much better.
There definitely needs to be another ITH cd with some of the cut songs...
Omg i heard a few of these cut songs before i think they're awesome! I like Janet and adore Robin! But where's Andrea? :-( ... AnYwHoO i love the show you're genius Lin!!!!
This is awesome!!!!!!!
There's a whole other musical on the cutting room floor!
Robin looks so cute! Yay for CT!
...wait was that a voltron on the piano?
If so have a new found love for this show.
I squealed when I saw Robin DeJesus.
:)
superfan numbah here right now
thanks made my day
:)
i want nothing more than to have your job. ugh, you're amazing
aww this is so nice
i agree about the CD...it would be amazing
Yeah, they should so totally do it!
@ojarespectaculeronTd Crying Out? I don't know what that is. Rewind Tonight is badass though, I'll find some other use for it.
haha i love you for putting this up!
Oh, Usnavi, Tu es mi amore. (I think I spelled that right. LOL :-P) Anyways, holy crap thank you for putting this up. This is some great footage, and the level of ability in the voices in this just break my heart.
BLACKOUT!!!!!!!!!
yesssssssssss.
some of the unused songs should come out on a special edition cd or something. they're so good!
Thanks for the vid Lin. Would love to know how the ITH movie is coming along.
NATALIE CORTEZ SAY WHAAAAAAT.
That is mah guuurl I loved her in A Chorus Line. I had no idea she was involved with ITH. This makes her rock even more than she already does.
@usnavi Thats Awesome, I love that song! For Crying out I'm talking about the song Huey Dunbar sings in this video and Michael Arden sang at the Junk in The Trunk concert back in 07. haha But I'm glad thats not the last I'lll be hearing of Rewind Tonight!
Huey Dunbar!!! Oh my god DLG was the soundtrack to my life all day every day, now its In The Heights
4:37
OMG, gossip!!!
I wish I saw the original version!
this is so crazy to experience!
I wonder if you have ever thought about releasing all these songs in some form or other?
This is priceless!
There's no other words.
And King Sherman was the fucking bomb.
Now I can better understand Thomas Kail's comments in the liner notes--while I can't imagine a more perfect product than the CD in my hand, it had to be like selling off children to ditch those other (equally fabulous) songs.
Digging y'all jamming to OutKast in the car.....
CTFU @ "Oneill b***h!"
IS THERE SHEET MUSIC FOR LINCOLN'S SONG?????? LIN, SENOR, POR FAVOR, hook a brotha up!! :D
Would like to take my mom to see it. I wonder if its still playing.
Huey Dunbar impresionante... :)
Is the guy at 2:03-2:27 singing as Lincoln? He sounds amazing!
Seeing this vid and then thinking to how this show has evolved now is incredible. Really, ITH=WIN!
Oh, and by the way, you were awesome on House last night =)
Are you ever going to release the sheet music to any of the older songs? I would love to sing Crying Out and Rewind Tonight! Haha I'd buy that!
This is so awesome, thats pretty cool how much the show has changed since 2005, but why weren't you doing Usnavi, how did you end up as the character?
wow u cut mad songz from the musical....damn
@mpheli Yup it is!
nina is amazing!
omg, Dancing to Pedro Navaja at 1:53
I totally grew up on Ruben Blades!
7:44
"....O'Neill bitch...."
I think that for the movie you should use the original broadway cast. There's nothing like the original cast. :))
The Song they were singing in the car was - Rosa Parks by Outkast. My understanding is that a lot of these songs didn't make it to the finale show or were edited in someway.
It is a gorgeous view! Just wish the camera was angled up a little more so as not to distract.
Hahahaha, I love the death stare at :55
hahaha love tommys death stare at :54 lol
I have that same Voltron figure.
It totally is.
jaja, eso era pedro navajas?
this is great
Wish I could have seen Natalie as Nina.
what song is playing in the car?
is that the original singer from the latin group DLG??? at 2:17
So... when are the cut songs going to be released? It's pretty necessary that they are.
what's the song at 3:26?
Lol love the ending! "O'Neil Bitch"
Lin, How come u didnt start out as Usnavi, back then?
is Dunbar on the album? & which song is that @ 2 20?
Natalie Cortez was Nina. Holy Crap.
Here's an idea!
Anyone remember "The Yellow Brick Road Not Taken" that was done by Wicked? Maybe ITH could have some kind of a concert showcasing some of these songs that didn't make the final drafts of the show. I mean, some of these actually sound really good. Especially that riffy song at 5:34
Funny!!
"o'neil bitch"
brings a tear to my eye :')
1:52-2:01 = Pedro Navaja!!!
"...wepa."
THE SHAQUILLE O'NEIL CENTER?
holy shit. this stuff is poppin!!
O'NEILL BITCH
Not enough Lincoln Rosario.
The confrontation between Kevin and Nina at 2:30- seems like it could have a lot of potential. Was it cut? And if so, why?
HUEY DUNBAR?!?!
WHY WAS HIS CHARACTER CUT?!?! PUT HIM BACK, I LOVE HIM!
but then again, i love in the heights, so i guess that's a sacrafice i have to make
LMFAO at :51, :54, and 7:46
