Lin-Manuel is a genius. You’ll love this movie. The song that explains the origin of Usnavy’s name is hilarious.

[@remymattson9140]

Imagine his excitement when he sees the cameo in the piragua song 😆

[@Jayscollo]

And the cameo of Chris Jackson Aka Washington (in Hamilton) as Mister Softy (ice cream man)! Also the post credits scene w/ LMM & Chris Jackson is Hilarious!

[@natl5692]

I love when Metalheads discover musicals ... because those two genrea are basically the smae. Big, theatrical, overthetop, crazy music and vocals on top ...

[@rachaelamaro7366]

I’m a HUGE fan of musicals (live theater and films) and it’s a lot of fun to see folks give them a try and enjoy the medium. LMM has brought a different sensibility to the genre and I’m glad that gets people to explore it. I definitely agree with the commenter who mentioned “Tick Tick Boom.” I would suggest checking out some of the musicals that paved the way for LMM, such as “RENT” and “Hair.”

[@goobjones]

That's the guy who played Laurens/Philip Hamilton in Hamilton. Not sure if you noticed

[@Jayscollo]

Yes Anthony Ramos who plays the lead part for In the Heights movie played John Lauren’s/Philip Hamilton, in Hamilton, He’s amazing! LMM keeps his friends in his musicals. I got a kick out the cameos of Chris Jackson Aka Washington (in Hamilton) as the Mister Softy ice cream man! And the post credit scene. Fun fact in the original stage production of in the Heights LMM played the lead, Chris Jackson played Benny & Anthony Ramos auditioned but didn’t get casted. Fast forward 12 years and Anthony Ramos is playing the lead part!

[@efkaservicegirl]

I love watching people discover Lin. You're the first person I've seen go Heights after Hamilton rather than Encanto so thanks for this. I absolutely recommend Encanto if you haven't seen it yet. For more musicals, I definitely second everyone saying Rent, which was the musical that made Lin want to do Broadway. Also definitely second the person that recommended Chicago. The movie adaptation actually won the Oscar for Best Picture that year.

[@acatnamedm4529]

I'm glad you're enjoying this. The pacing is a bit slow, you can see the learning curve between this and Hamilton. This was LMM's first Broadway show. LMM is amazing & his work definitely changed Broadway. If you're interested in other musicals I'd suggest 'Tick Tick Boom' (directed by LMM) and 'Rent'. Maybe 'Little Shop of Horrors' which is a more old school musical but a fun B horror movie comedy. I kinda hate any musical directed by Tom Hooper (looking at you Cats - use a freaking click track, your music is out of sync, why is Rebel singing the harmony as the melody line). I love 'Into the Woods', but watch the stage play with the legendary Bernadette Peters. Disney killed the plot of the movie version.

[@suebee0619]

Seconding Tick Tick Boom and Little Shop. There’s just not a good version of RENT out there - maybe the last performance they filmed on broadway, but I’d have to rewatch.

[@emmamcintyre6997]

Also agree with Tick Tick Boom but not the Andrew Garfield version (Ugh)🙄. Anything written by my Aussie men Tim Minchin & Eddie Perfect such as Matilda the Musical & Beetlejuice The Musical are amazing. Also the Original American Cast of Wicked with Idina Menzel as Elphaba will amaze you, I would also recommend if you enjoy the music of Queen to check out the Rock Opera “We Will Rock You” by Ben Elton.

[@ericgershon3492]

@@emmamcintyre6997 curious as to why you didn't enjoy the Tick Tick Boom movie?

[@emmamcintyre6997]

Not a fan of Andrew Garfield so he ruined it for me

[@ericgershon3492]

@@emmamcintyre6997 why aren't you a fan of him?

[@sherry640]

LMM is a unique talent & an amazing human being. You should react to the mash up that LMM did with Ben Platt of the songs You Will be Found from Dear Evan Hanson & Tonight from Hamilton in response to the shooting at Parkland High School in Florida. It is profound & beautiful, recorded to support the survivors of that tragedy.

[@Tunarth]

Chicago is one of the most brilliant movie adaptations of a stage work ever. The musical itself was waaaay ahead of its time for 1975 Broadway. It was set in the mid-1920s, but audiences of the 1970s just couldn't handle the dark view of America that Chicago presented. If you want an idea of what the movie is like, look for the Cell Block Tango.

[@DrKOClemente]

Lin Manuel Miranda its from my Island Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and yess he wrote In the Heigths and Hamilton

[@m.johnson9358]

Another of my favorite musicals! Saw it twice on Broadway. Man, it’s amazing to go to the live show, but I’m glad they’ve done movies so more people can enjoy. ❤

[@wendylwason3031]

LOVE that you are doing good musicals!

[@PattyKollias]

I highly recommend finding the original broadway cast performance of 96,000 from the Tony awards show here on KZbin. Lin was Usnavi and Chris Jackson (George Washington from Hamilton) plays Benny (the guy with the shirt and tie) - it's a phenomenal performance.

[@leahshum970]

musicals can be SUPER fun!! you gotta check out some classics. cell block tango from chicago, paciencia e fei and carnival del barrio from in the heights, honestly everything from les miserables, el tango de roxanne from moulin rouge... sweeney todd, into the woods! like even some of this you will certainly enjoy c:

[@Sub.Star1]

I love the songs of this movie, because are Lin-Manuel songs!! hahaha I'm so happy watching you enjoying this. After this, is you want more LMM, you need to watch Encanto. And if you want to watch something new, in netflix is now the movie version of Matilda the musical, and I love it!

[@hugabug008]

You should check out "Come From Away"! It's one of my favorite musicals :) It's based on true events

[@sarahmetzger1455]

I am so here for your musical journey! When you can, watch the stage productions, but they can be hard to come by. Movie adaptations are the next best thing. I definitely think you will like Rent and Tick Tick Boom. Much love! ❤

[@robynmoore3641]

Oh yes! I would love to see a reaction to Tick Tick Boom!

[@minanathans6005]

Knew _In The Heights,_ did not know you, but man, you have such an excellent vibe! Will definitely be visiting this channel again.

[@monkat3759]

You might want to get to see the inspiration for Hamilton, Lin Manuel's father Luis. Their interaction is great in this interview. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioaadJ5vg7Klga8 There is also a documentary, Siempre Luis, on HBO. Originally from NYC & I never knew he was a backbone in political activism.

[@grase99]

can't wait for this! glad you're giving musicals a chance, hopefully you'll break out of just lin's musicals because there's so much good out there! there's all kind of genres of musicals just like music you just gotta find what you like! can't wait to see this on patreon :)

[@maxalldred9429]

Tick tick boom is a really great musical

[@misslovely9727]

Omg yeeeesss In the Heights is a great musical and movie I'm sure you'll like it

[@sadikmakwela1255]

I don't know how most people don't know lin i first heard him in a song with nickky minaj

[@Su-lv2id]

I love this❤️❤️❤️

[@darcelburkhalter9617]

Try LA Law, that series introduced Jimmy Smits to the public.

[@duchessebibi692]

I love this movie. Lin-Manuel Miranda is very talented.👍

[@emmamcintyre6997]

The stage production is much better than the movie, I would listen to the original soundtrack with Lin & assemble then this version.

[@mohamedkooak6338]

Scream

[@iwad4]

Please react to bad omens one of my fav metal band

[@aj71169]

Not a big fan of musicals, so Lin struck a hip-hop chord with me. But I’ll throw in my $.02 and say if you keep a list check out West Side Story.

[@kipupi]

Please watch "RETROSPECTIVA 2021" and "RETROSPECTIVA 2022" these videos are from "Inutilismo", the same channel that you have recently liked so mutch.
