My son played usnavi. So proud! Proud of the whole project as well.
He was very good!
what school and where cause he is good
@@jhectik1497 we're Helix Charter High school from San Diego, CA
Tell your son that he's mindblowingly talented for his age, and that I hope to see him on Broadway someday
Your son totally rocked it
The guy who played usnavi sounds just like Lin omg! Amazing
1:08:23 i was so surprised when he said that because it sounded just like lin
Yea he really does, I thought he was lip syncing.
ikr
Sounds just like him!!
This has to be a joke
Dear God, the one who played Abuela Claudia NAILED "Paciencia y Fe."
RIGHT
Freaking goosebumps!
okay yes the kids are talented but THAT SET HOLY- DID THEY GET THE PEOPLE WHO BUILT THE ORIGINAL SET TO BUILD IT COZ JEEZ
Simusicals ikr
I was always jealous of other school's sets when i did musicals in high school. Maybe it was my year in play production.
Yeah we did. I crewed the show. I did the mics.
The cast, crew, and a few people from the set rental company all helped to build the set
Seems they did a similar thing in ua-cam.com/video/Kj4QuCqRXug/v-deo.html
IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT ABUELA CLAUDIA LIKE JESUS HER VOICE OMG
AND ABOUT NINAS DAD HOLY SHIT
I damn near cried listening to her sing this
I also cried hearing her sing she has a gorgeous voice
She is astounding.
btw *ARE YOU SURE THIS IS A HIGH SCHOOL PRODUCTION THIS LOOKS LIKE BROADWAY*
Yeah it was my freshman year
Yeah and my brother was in it lol
You can hire the set. Lots of productions seem to have it.
Who else is here from Howard Ho's video? This was amazing, I can't quite believe it was a high school production!
Me
Me
Yep, I had to look at this one. Glad I did.
Me. They did excellent!

...is no one talking about how good usnavi is?
franri ikr!
Honestlyy
He literally sounds like lin
DUDE HE SKUNDS JUST LIKE LIN MIRANDA !
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Everything about this is amazing, I saw another version on UA-cam from DC and this makes that one look like a highschool production.
Man, the boy who played usnavi can get to broadway if he wants! He is so good, hope he keeps up the great work! 👏👏
Sonny wearing a BLM shirt is a power move
and the person playing Usnavi sounds so much like Lin
especially because this was filled 3 years ago! before BLM became “trendy”
He must have spent a lot of time listening to the OBC album
That girl who was playing as I think the salon owner the girl with the brown dress and the afro
She slayed the role
Lin needs to see this
45 minutes in and Abuella is absolutely crushing this
Just wanna appreciate the irony of an Asian Pete rapping the "phonebook in Tokyo" line xD
That was hilarious
YOU CAN SEE ABUELA REALISE SHE WON DURING 96,000
that staging tho
Aiden Stanley
Mr Reams is the GOAT
Happens at 37:15, look at the left of the screen
The Nina has a beautiful voice.
ALL of them sound gorgeous but she was one of my favorites.
Sorry but she was trying too hard in Benny's Dispatch😭😭
@@annawaithira no I agree lol her belts are weird and shaky
@@bellaramirez4007 she has a nice voice, she just tried to belt too much and she’s not good at it smh
did we watch the same nina…
daniela is so under appreciated. she was killin that accent and her voice is phenomenal
Usnavi in this is great. I thought for the first few seconds that they dubbed him to sound like Lin. That’s how good he is

@@trygvevighals3841 If you want to see antoher VERY good production, search for In The Heights Cast A
Call me Seba just watched it yesterday and it was so amazing. it raised my standards so high lol
@@mimi-pb4hn I can good say its the best production in the internet haha.
i love you
The cast kept crying back stage every time Abuela died
Plus during Alabanza I could hear some voices breaking from crying, it adds to the effect but makes it more emotional
This is a *High School* production? Holy shit, these kids are incredibly talented
One thing that I wish they taught kids was a healthy belt or mixed voice instead of a forced strong belt. These kids have great voices. With proper support, they will really excel.
That Benny was so incredible. You can really see him emulating Chris Jackson
Why is every iteration of Benny always the best singer? Kings 👑
That Piraeus Guy and Benny were amazing! Everyone was amazing but those two really stood out to me.
Also, the Abuela Claudia was amazing!!!
Ok but can we talk about the girl who played camila? Because “enough” was absolutely AMAZING
ikr that's what I've been thinking, she's amazing, her acting is amazing and her Spanish accent is chefs kiss
Sonny singing about being powerless while wearing a BLM t-shirt hits different
YES.
Is no one gonna talk about how we got to see this play for free just a recast????
If this is a HS production, it has to be a performing arts school.
hi, i was in this! nope, we’re a charter school but not just for the arts!
@@rachaels742 thats amazing! I wish my high school had a performing arts program like this! I'm in college now and I'm going for Musical Theater but I hope to someday give the students at my high school opportunities like this!
@@rachaels742 do they do this only this time or have they done this more?
@@roodolphnwendy hi I’m currently a student at the high school where this was done. This was probably the best show we’ve ever done. We still do shows however they can’t really top this one
@@jack4939 where is the school located?
Abuela Claudia is AMAZING!
Ok but the person who played Sonny was so cute
Over The Rainbow
Its a girl just so you know
I love this whole cast so much, but Sonny I think was my favorite
WHY does this not have a million views? And somebody needs to send this to Lin-Manuel Miranda because his future stars are here. (Benny, Usnavi, and Abuelita Claudia actors, I’m talking about YOU!)
The cast is great, but that band is the best part. They must have paid pros to play. That lead trumpet hits the high E's, F#'s and A's with power. That really adds so much to the production.
Is it not a track?
It’s a track
@@amanday3103 I’m pretty sure they just have a pit orchestra.
@@michaeledgerton3508 im sure they weren’t playing the reggaetón and hip hop beats live but everything else does sound like it comes from somewhere else
I think it is a track. I’m in the band at this school, and as far as I know we don’t have a pit
Abuela Claudia, Sonny, and Camilla were the highlights of this whole production. I loved the whole thing. Amazing job from everyone.
Abuelas acting was rlly bad homie
@@alexfletcher282the singing kinda made up for it 🤷🏾♀️💀
Abuela Claudia knocked it out of the park, especially with Paciencia y fe!! You could tell from that applause at the end. My heart!
This is so amazing, Usnavi, Kevin, Nina, Claudia all have amazing performances. This is so well done and these kids should be proud
yes im not the only one that loved kevin 🥲
Okay so I'm only in 2 songs deep and already I'm impressed. Well done. Ensemble vocals are excellent. Don't get me started with Usnavi and Benny...AND THAT SET. WOAH... EVERY DETAIL...IT'S STUNNING. Ok back to it!
I like how Vanessa is singing and Usnavi was like, "STFU I'm trying to open this champagne." in champagne.
Accept that’s what the audience is thinking at the same time because that Vanessa sounds terrible. Completely wrong choices for the character.
How is no one talking about Nina's mom??? The sass!! She had such good facial expressions and made the character feel so...powerful, I was cheering her on! Great job!
The UNDERSTUDY PRODUCTION WAS JUST AS GREAT!! It's on UA-cam Too!
This is a HIGH SCHOOL? Usnavi is way too talented to be a high school.
We are in London UK and were looking for a decent version of ITH to watch tonight. You guys blew us (all) away!!! I can't believe you were high schoolers! I hope some of you are heading to Broadway because...wow. Whoever shot and directed this video also deserves huge commendation as it's beautifully done (except for the occasional auto-focus issue, but I guess that's down to the available equipment). Thank you so much for sharing it.
Nick Barr Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words.
Yes I was also looking for a decent version of it, and after seeing the movie yesterday I can't get enough of it. This production was awesome. I'm definitely going to watch it again and go see the movie again!!!
@@JDHopper What was your rig setup for the show and did you film it twice once on the wide angle and once with a monopod on stage to avoid getting the second camera in shot? Also your exposure is basically perfect!
I watched this after watching the movie and i cant believe how different it is, inutil added so much to the depth of Kevin
As a member of my school's set and stage crew, I can say this set is exquisite.
I must’ve cried at least twenty times in this
yes see too. I'm the character Usnavi's mom. Omg I was double crying... haha
Here's the question, How much funding does there theatre program get? There set is phenomenal
For real! This looks like the broadway set.
Not to mention how many people have seemingly nice mic packs!
abuela's voice is AMAZING!!!
Why do I see no one talking about the girl absolutely NAILING paciencia y fe?????
I was searching for this comment! SHE NEEDS SOME RECOGNITION
Usnavi low-key sounds like Lin
this is so good. The crowd sounds so lifeless though. No laughing at the jokes....
Ore B considering the roving cameraman and the audio coming straight from the mixer it’s probably a performance meant for filming with little to no audience
yeah that was my thought. that there probably was no audience bc of the filming
36:59 *crowd laughing*
Ore B they were laughing at the jokes at 96,000.
fully didn't know there was a crowd until they clapped
woahhh the guy who played Benny was amazing !!!! he sounded just like Chris too holy shiii
Okay so this Usnavi is amazing! Honestly one of the best I’ve seen.
The people who played Danelle and Carla where amazing
The girl who played Abuela Claudia was so awesome!
Usnavi in this fully slayed it he literally looked like lin when singing with his hand gestures
Homeboy playing Usnavi slayed
Wow, Benny is absolutely amazing here. Well, not only him. Usnavi, Vanessa, Nina, everyone.
The girl that played Abuela was dope
This cast must have felt lucky to be able to rent the Original Musicals Set
I just gotta tip my hat off to this production because everything is on point. The casting, the set design, and of course this recording. This is a cut above the rest in terms of a highschool production. This goes beyond a highschool production honestly. Seriously amazing work.
BEST USNAVI SINCE LIN OMG
oh man, this benny is FANTASTIC!! his tenderness, energy, acting ability, all top notch. and nina is probably the best singer. she sang breathe beautifully.
I've been watching all the productions of In The Heights I can find, and this one is the best overall.
Wow, these kids are talented. The only reason I knew it was a school production was because they look young.
Omg the set is amazing
um.. am i the only one that loves the actor of kevin..?
Loved it, it's one of my favourites now.
Lois Bonsu he sounded like he smoked way too much tbh >:(
Wow! I am so sorry I missed this live! Go Highlanders! I will definitely be supporting. This should be more announced to the community.
You can practically hear the similarities in Lin's music from Hamilton to In The Heights.
I love how they switched usnavi and Vanessa with Nina and Benny during the blackout scene
The carnival del barrio girl was phenomenal
This is by far the best version on UA-cam. Thank you.
This is what I imagined Glee to look like in real life. So professional!
ABUELA. ABUELA. PLEASE GIVE HER SOME PRAISE. as an immigrant, her performance of paciencia y fe moved me so much!!
These kids are amazing! Kudos also to whoever filmed and edited this. Love it!
Wow! All of the voices are amazing. Benny in a special way...wow!
every time i watch it (and i watch it almost every day) i always cry when it is time for atencion to play.
Does the actor for Benny like Nina's actress IRL ? because the chemistry was amazing
Ikr, I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that
i think the Abuela has the most beautiful voice out of all of the talented preformers
I can't believe this is high school kids! Amazing.
The guy playing Mr.Rosario has an amazing singing voice
The SET is INCREDIBLE!! Wow, also great quality recording. This was amazing! ❤️❤️
Simply the best rendition ❤️❤️❤️
this cast is amazing oml !!
Stunning production quality for a high school show! Excellent job!
THIS is how a HS production of ITH should be done!!! AND THAT DAMN SET!!😵😍
What a Great Show! Loved every second
This is my first time seeing ITH and wow, I was blown away! Last time I cried like this it was the Hamilton official recording
This is a highschool production??? Im impressed. Everything the cast the production the band. Wow
Yesss! Finally an In The Heights production on UA-cam
This is Amazing. Great job, all of you. You should all be extremely proud of yourselves. This was phenomenal.
1:05:47 absolute madlad just filming all the chaos with his phone💀💀💀
Holy shit! What a great production!
AWESOME production.....thank you so much!
This is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT AND COMPASSIONATELY PERFORMED.... BRAVO!
This was GREAT! I know they made Lin-Manuel Miranda proud!
So great set!!!!
I’m obsessed with this Benny
