My post about apos;In The Heightsapos; is on its way, but in the meantime, here is some context:

My favorite song in the show, and probably an example of what apos;In The Heightsapos; does best. Abuela Claudia, the Cuban maid that oversees the entire block, stops the show, for an intense moment of reflection about how she got from the poor streets of Havana to living in New York City. It was at this point that Greg and I turned to each other and said, oh wow, this is something special.

Its salsa, but its also something else.

Paciencia Y Fe (Patience and Faith)


This is very early in the show, and there is a certain sweetness to this relationship. But the true moment of note, is the fact that somehow apos;In The Heightsapos; makes reggaeton, the mixture of merengue and reggae that is all over nyc, into something semi-magical. "Sheapos;s smiling, say hello Honk your horn"

Bennyapos;s Dispatch



At the Tonys, Lin Manuel says "I donapos;t know about God, but I believe in Chris Jackson." This is Chris Jackson, playing Benny, singing a love song that seems ripped out of my childhood. The whole fire hydrant bit, and just like the idea of "Nina, everything is easier when youapos;re home. The streets are a little kinder, when youapos;re home. Canapos;t you see, that the days seem clearer, now that you are here, or is it just me?" I fell a little in love with Benny.
