Wow, Chris Jackson is one of my favorite performers/singers but this Benny absolutely killed it. Real nice flow and hit all the notes real smooth. Really really enjoyed his performance.
Thank you so much!! Chris Jackson is my big bro, I was his understudy as part of the Original Broadway Cast and he made sure I was ready and to add my own flare 🙏🏾❤
Sarah Ma Yeah you can tell their accents are even different, and that's because the west coast has a higher population of Mexicans than the Carribeans that the musical is written to portray
I played Benny... This was a performance from the 1st National tour, Lin joined us for the LA run. I'm actually an Original Broadway Cast member, you'll find my name on the Broadway Cast album, so I was in the room where it happened lol But my role in the show was to cover 6 Male Chorus roles and 1 Lead Benny. I was like a 6th man on an NBA Basketball team. Hope that helped🙏🏾 Go and check out the movie on June 11th!
holy SHIT this whole performance was fucking ELECTRIFYING. That Benny! THAT VANESSA!! THAT ENERGY!!!!!! how is hamilton lmm's most acclaimed musical when in the heights EXISTS?!!?!
Loved the Benny and yes for that Vanessa! Karen will ALWAYS have it on lock but Sabrina did her thing. I love this song! The energy of the cast mixed with the audience's was just right~
Oh damn this is one of the smoothest performances of 96,000 I've seen, I adore the original song but I've always felt that the last section where all the characters sing their parts was a little messy but this was really smooth and blended together beautifully
the fact that lin was spitting bars from hamilton 10 years ago during the part where everyone sings together is making me cry i love this man so fuckin much
Damn this song oozes energy. This wasn't half bad!! I do lie the originals better, but these people are good! Especially the people who played Vanessa & Benny! They brought their own flavor to those characters. But, Daniela & Carla...i love the originals :P
There relationship is unparalleled... But I'm Grateful to Chris Jackson for preparing me and for Lin hyping me up behind the scenes, Brothers for life 🙏🏾❤
We were the 1st National tour, but the role of Sonny played my boy Shaun Taylor Corbett and Benny by myself... We were the only Original Broadway Cast members on the tour 🙏🏾❤ Check out the movie this Thursday!!
@Shimmering heart when broadway show do promos like this one they usually cut the song to fit the show or event's timing I hate when they do it but :le sigh: still a grate performance :D
What do people mean original version!? You realise this is a shortened version edited specifically for TV shows 😂? They can't perform the whole thing its just under 10mins
+Michaela Moriarty i am aware of this Very aware - I am stating the fact there is an edited version for tv performances E.g. Tonys! Or in the uk ... Oliviers The full song is just under 10minutes Why would people expect the full thing? There its not an "original" or "new" its "edited" for a tv promo show
+Politics&Poetry 101 I think what everyone talking about the "originals" is the fact that Chris Jackson who was the primary actor to play Benny (the guy in the white shirt/tie combo) is not here it is a different actor from the original :) Of course they couldn't play the whole song!

Next thing you know, Lin has long hair, a child, and won EVEN MORE TONYS
Next thing you know, we’ve been through a pandemic and Hamilton has come out on a Disney streaming service. Hope you’re doing well through all this!
I'll always prefer originals, but this Benny is AMAZING
+Billie4Mozzarella Who is it? It is killing me!
+Billie4Mozzarella I saw this Benny on Broadway and I cannot remember his name for the life of me!
+Molly G Figured it out! Rogelio Douglas Jr!
+Billie4Mozzarella For real, this Benny's flow is amazing.
For real tho!
So are we just gonna ignore the fact that at 3:43 the third line Lin sings is "I can sing on the Lopez Sho-o-ow!" LOL XD
JESUS CHRIST THIS BENNY IS AMAZING
He is! Who is he, does anyone know?
Vanessa too!
I prefer Chris Jackson tbh
Leonardo Talavera THIS Benny just knocked me on my ass holy shit!
@@Chelsea-sf3bx me too
Wow, Chris Jackson is one of my favorite performers/singers but this Benny absolutely killed it. Real nice flow and hit all the notes real smooth. Really really enjoyed his performance.
Thank you so much!! Chris Jackson is my big bro, I was his understudy as part of the Original Broadway Cast and he made sure I was ready and to add my own flare 🙏🏾❤
I always hate how the TV performances cut out Sonny's verse because it gets me so HYPED!! Also this Benny is awesome and I love his hair.
Yeah
Sonny speaks too much truth in his verse. Look at the way the US has gone since they hit Broadway, Lin saw the way the wind was blowing.
sonny's part is so inspirational and speaks truth
Appreciate You 🙏🏾
I love the originals but I really loved this Benny! I also love Karen but damn this Vanessa is so good! I loved how she pronounced baRRio.
same lol
Check him out on Spotify! Rogelio Douglas Jr.
Has noone noticed Lin changed the words to 'can sing on the lopez show' haha. I love him.
omg didn't notice
good to hear positivity about non-OBC cast in the comments. rest of the community gotta learn to appreciate everyone
this Benny is mad amazing. Lin smiles a little every time he spits a verse and it makes my heart melt
Check him out on Spotify! Rogelio Douglas Jr.
Thank you 🙏🏾 It was a special moment... We always bonded over Hip-Hop
Lin was back there like dang this brother is good
Vanessa and Benny SLAYED!! I'm so surprised the new cast was so good!
🙏🏾❤
@@RogelioDouglasJr I love you are coming back to like comments. Very cool. And you are amazing kn this performance. I wish I could of seen you live.

"Burr I'd rather be divisive than indecisive."
whoaaaa
Yamil.Nicole Gomez my life is shook thanks to you😂

Yamil.Nicole Gomez That's where my mind went too!
Emilia Faye Hamilton
Benny's A riffed up to that C# at 3:30 still kills me
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
Lin always looking like a proud father 🤣
Yup!! 🤣🙏🏾❤
I love how Lin cannot stop smiling at Benny!!
It was always a great time performing with him 🙏🏾❤
FINALLY a Vanesa that says "baRRio" instead of "baRio/baDio" and OMG BENNY !!!🔥🔥
why is the only person part of the original cast here lin?
west coast cast, i believe. Lin flew out to be part of the televised event.
They performed at the Pantageous
Sarah Ma Yeah you can tell their accents are even different, and that's because the west coast has a higher population of Mexicans than the Carribeans that the musical is written to portray
Yeah I know right
I played Benny... This was a performance from the 1st National tour, Lin joined us for the LA run. I'm actually an Original Broadway Cast member, you'll find my name on the Broadway Cast album, so I was in the room where it happened lol But my role in the show was to cover 6 Male Chorus roles and 1 Lead Benny.

@@RogelioDouglasJr Benny!
This Vanessa is amazing. She sounds so much like the original.
The og Vanessa name is Karen
Karen Olivo? yeah she's pretty much in the same range
holy SHIT this whole performance was fucking ELECTRIFYING. That Benny! THAT VANESSA!! THAT ENERGY!!!!!! how is hamilton lmm's most acclaimed musical when in the heights EXISTS?!!?!
Check out “Benny” on Spotify! Rogelio Douglas JR.
Thank You 🙏🏾❤
I love Usnavi and Benny's friendship. Always busting each other's balls, yet best friends
I disagree, this Benny is an amazing performer, and Vanessa is real pretty and signs amazing too. It is a good understudy for the Los Angeles Cast..
+Savannah C Did you see how proud Lin looked at Benny? It was so cute. lol
+Savannah C Omg I was trying to figure out who the chick was. Found it thanks to your comment. lol
She was also Angelica in the Angelica tour for Hamilton! I met her, she’s super nice and really pretty!
Thank you! 🙏🏾❤ I'm an Original Broadway Cast member also... check the cast album, then see the movie this Thursday ❤
This Benny’s got SOUL. He is absolutely amazing.
Thank you so much 🙏🏾❤
Literally got chills from vanessa
Vanessa and Benny in this cast are perfection.
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
Really dont like this Carla. Shes not sassy enough.
OMG Benny and Vanessa is AMAZING!!

Thank you 🙏🏾❤
is that Lin Minuel?
no
yes
It is!
For real though, Benny in this one is so Lively, I love him!
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
@@RogelioDouglasJr hey bro didn't think anyone else could do Benny like Chris but you absolutely killed it. That flow, dance & singing was next level!
I love this Benny but I prefer the original Vanessa :/
Other way around for me
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
That breakdown reminds me a lot to Battle of Yorktown... Or I could say it backwards
Holy crap so good! Missin' Sonny's part though but still so good.
I love the OBC, but DAMN this cast is good!
Oh damn this is one of the smoothest performances of 96,000 I've seen, I adore the original song but I've always felt that the last section where all the characters sing their parts was a little messy but this was really smooth and blended together beautifully
So tight, amazing breath control, perfectly in tune, just crazy good
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
damn....this guy KILLS benny! SO GOOD.
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
3:55 to the end sounds like something from hamilton but I can’t put my finger on it. Am I imagining things?
Non-Stop and Yorktown
Vanessa's eyebrows tho ://
lmao! "Damn where only joking! Stay broke then" then "I GET TO SING ON THE LOPEZ SHOW!" i love Lin XD
@BiteMe1132 I SAW THIS GUY PLAY SONNY ON BROADWAY TWICE!!!! HE'S AMAZING!!!
the fact that lin was spitting bars from hamilton 10 years ago during the part where everyone sings together is making me cry i love this man so fuckin much
Damn! This Vanessa is so GOOD!
Damn this song oozes energy. This wasn't half bad!! I do lie the originals better, but these people are good! Especially the people who played Vanessa & Benny! They brought their own flavor to those characters. But, Daniela & Carla...i love the originals :P
OMG i need more of this Benny. Anybody knows his name?
Thank you so much 🙏🏾❤
He can sing on the Lopez Shoooow! (This cast is so amazing though! They did great.)
That Benny did so amazing. I was dancing along when This aired I was dancing along.
Check him out on Spotify! Rogelio Douglas Jr.

@Iverson7502 yes she was on idol :) Sabrina Sloan season six. she's my aunt!!
I love Karen Olivo but this Vanessa was AMAZING!
what is the person's name who played benny
Thank you, me llamo Rogelio 🙏🏾❤
I'm sry guys I think this Benny is really good but I can't imagine anyone play Benny besides Chris
I completely understand 🙏🏾❤
"I can sing on the Lopez show..." :-D GOTTA love Lin!
The only people that are actually the cast is usnavi and sonny
umm Sonny is played by Robin De Jesus not that guy
Oh well idk
He is in the ensemble though.
Incorrect, Benny is also an Original Broadway Cast member 🙏🏾❤
This is the national tour (Lin is playing Usnavi because it's the Lopez Tonight).
I saw this cast 2 days ago... LOVE THEM!!!
this has always been my fav cast, when other people get filled in or replaced it just aint the same
🙏🏾❤
this benny is awesome but theres no thing as the connection between lin and chris
Check him out on Spotify! Rogelio Douglas Jr.
There relationship is unparalleled... But I'm Grateful to Chris Jackson for preparing me and for Lin hyping me up behind the scenes, Brothers for life 🙏🏾❤
Although i LOVE the original cast, this is probably my favorite cast!
Is this a later Broadway cast cause they KILLED IT
We were the 1st National tour, but the role of Sonny played my boy Shaun Taylor Corbett and Benny by myself... We were the only Original Broadway Cast members on the tour 🙏🏾❤ Check out the movie this Thursday!!
I think this may be my FAVORITE Benny EVER. :) Anyone know who this is?
Thank you so much 🙏🏾❤
What did you think of Film Benny?
This was the cast was the one I saw all those years ago when they toured!
🙏🏾❤
@@RogelioDouglasJr Omg Benny! I saw the show both in LA and again in Orange County during that touring season. You were so amazing! Much love! ❤️
Wait. Is that shaun from hi-5
no fucking way, that's actually him?
I knew he looked familiar.
Yes, yes it is... My Bro STC 🙏🏾❤
Why did Lin stay so much longer than the rest of the original cast? To sell tickets?
This was the 1st National tour 🙏🏾❤
I still cry watching this performance to this day
Aww, what did you think of the movie?
Whose playing Vanessa??? She's pretty good.
OOOOH I love this Vanessa much more than the original!! Her voice seems more fitting for the song. :)
I can sing on the Lopez show XD
that was funny XD
love this show
I am obsessed with Hamilton, but this is the first i've heard of this show.
ummm
This is really good. Love the LA Cast!
This is really good. Love the LA Cast!
He’s the guy that made encanto
love this vanessa
What about the part with Sonny and Graffiti Pete? I love that part it prepares me for Vanessa talking voice when she says: You are so cute! >.<
Oh my god! There is a scene that Lin forgets what is his next line and by a second he remembers his Pinnochio. Wow that was quick
This Benny had me shook!
🤣 I'm not a bad person lol 🙏🏾❤
I REALLY love this Benny O.O
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
that guy in the red with the cap seems like he has star potential... I'm going to keep my eye on that young man ;-)
I cannot wait to see LIN!!! hopefully he wont have an understudy
Where is Christopher Jackson??? You can't do In the Heights without him!!
I had the honor of seeing this cast, what a show!
@Shimmering heart when broadway show do promos like this one they usually cut the song to fit the show or event's timing I hate when they do it but :le sigh: still a grate performance :D
I like this cast.
Whoa I got chills
Benny was good!
Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤
Vanessa is good. Benny sings and acts like a neurotic clown. Looking forward to the movie.
I disagree, but Happy you Love the Show! Check out the movie this Thursday!! 🙏🏾❤
I can sing on The Lopez Show
What do people mean original version!? You realise this is a shortened version edited specifically for TV shows 😂? They can't perform the whole thing its just under 10mins
no, original cast
Look up 96000 recording, that's all the original cast
+Michaela Moriarty i am aware of this
Very aware - I am stating the fact there is an edited version for tv performances
E.g. Tonys! Or in the uk ... Oliviers
The full song is just under 10minutes
Why would people expect the full thing? There its not an "original" or "new" its "edited" for a tv promo show
I have two youtube accounts so I am responded via another
+Politics&Poetry 101 I think what everyone talking about the "originals" is the fact that Chris Jackson who was the primary actor to play Benny (the guy in the white shirt/tie combo) is not here it is a different actor from the original :) Of course they couldn't play the whole song!
THAT'S MY BOY! GO ROGELIO!!!!
Hey Rob! 🙏🏾❤
God this is such a great musical
@BiteMe1132 woah!!!! I remember watching him on Hi-5 lol he was my favorite character xD
The guy playing Sonny? I knew he looked familiar.
GET ITTTTTTT rogelio!!! :D
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
He is not Chris Jackson.
Nope no he is not... But Chris is his big bro🙏🏾❤
No one's trying the "beat" the originals.
@cami0902
I think this Benny is a better dancer, maybe even singer, but the original just fits the part better.
Appreciate You 🙏🏾❤
What's with cutting "knapsack" to just "sack"?
*opens with the person of shark boy and lava girl"
IM FREAKING OUT P!G HE WAS APRT OF MY CHILDHOOD
omg benny has no neck lmao
It is small 🤣 Thanks for watching though 🙏🏾❤
WHERE IS CHRIS JACKSON AND THE ACTUAL CAST WHAT IS THIS HOW
+Courtney Camarillo Show changes cast once a year for the most part. Some do come back if they want. I don't get why this is so shocking?
This was the 1st National Tour... When we got to LA Lin joined us for the entire run 🙏🏾❤
I think i saw this guy in Sharkboy and lavagirl. From Brazil.
