Blackout is a work of genius. I remember seeing it in 2010 - the entire audience was shitting their pants thinking the power had actually gone out. And what a dramatic way to end the first act! In terms of showstoppers, it really doesn't get much better than this.

Yeah I agree, I've never seen the original version of the musical but seeing it in this video how Vanessa was dancing with other people and Usnavi was trying his best to be with her while in the movie he practically just gave her up and then tried to be a show off towards her by dancing with someone else. Honest to God, the movie version just makes him seem more like an asshole while the original version makes Vanessa seem like a conceited bitch if you know what I mean.

As someone from England i can only imagine how scary blackouts in New York must be, the musical really capture this, however what made this very real was the panic in the audience and the collective sigh and relieved laughter as they realised the blackout was part of the show.

[@theumbrellaone5772]

I'm very sorry, but could someone explain why blackouts are bad/scary in America?

[@archiermanilo23]

@@theumbrellaone5772 Well, I'd say it's more to do with blackouts in big cities like New York, as they're interconnected, and mainly lit up by buildings and stree lights, so taking all that away leaves everything in darkness. As well as that, power cuts are less common as than in more rural areas, so there are less precautions taken. And with all that, there are people who would take advantage of the situation, as there always are. Like in the song, with people trying to rob Usnavi's store.

He pushes her away. 8.- Vanessa goes and KICKS the guy with the hat XD 9.- And Daniela, in the far left, is pulling a shoe off to throw it to someone XDD All in, like, 10 seconds.

The characters are aware of the state of the town they live so such an occurrence like this is legitimately dangerous and terrifying. Also most of them did go home right after, they just needed to find the people they came to the club with and were naturally concerned about their safety.

Blackout is my favourite song from any musical. It gives me chills

[@addisonbuehler1526]

I can't describe it, blackout just is an amazing song, I can't explain it, it gives me chills it's beautiful

[@antidaelyn]

YES!!!!!! OBC!!!!

[@Alisabelle58]

Seriously love the club scene Lin’s dancing is just great I love the character usnavi 😂

[@revfivez7069]

So originally it was Benny and Nina arguing but int the movie it was Usnavi and Vanessa arguing

[@Urfavlatinabaddieisback]

VaNnEsSa

[@kentinson1670]

"Yo, I can't see, quit shovin' mothafucka-" Usnavi and Hamilton radiate so much short people energy

[@ashbaker4422]

Anyone else here after seeing the movie?? Overall it was great but I’m so disappointed they changed so much of Blackout :’(

[@sydneytrainsareshit]

I KNOWWWW BENNY AND NINA HAD NO FIGHTS

[@sydneytrainsareshit]

AND THEY MADE VANESSA SO UNLIKEABLE

[@tashaglam4824]

@@sydneytrainsareshit THANK YOU! I thought Vanessa came off alot more unlikable in the movie. Maybe they wanted her that way.

[@sydneytrainsareshit]

@@tashaglam4824 ikkk wth in the musical she was way better. She seemed so stuck up in the movie.

[@TheAnakinchosen1]

@@sydneytrainsareshit It's always cool seeing someone with a different opinion. I personally enjoyed the interpretation of Vanessa in the film more than on the stage. Not comparing Karen and Melissa btw, imo they both play their version of the character well

I was watching this at 3%, N I N A X B E N N Y

[@panchish]

tbh im still a bit bitter they gave nina and benny’s part to vanessa and usnavi in the movie but it’s ok it’s ok

[@kevinmay9151]

Benny and Nina are glorified extras in the movies

[@aphreyy]

I'm so sad they cut Sunrise

[@sarahh1511]

@@aphreyy I know! I was sooo looking forward to it!

[@aphreyy]

@@sarahh1511 yeah it's my favorite song with Breathe. I'm glad they at least put the instrumental part of Sunrise when Usnavi finds the lottery ticket.

[@sarahh1511]

@@aphreyy true

[@isabellebise8440]

In high school I did sounds for this musical and the blackout moments were the toughest because I had to mute, raise, and cut lights in the sound booth within 10 seconds of each other.

[@snides712]

This is the part I'm most excited to see when the movie comes out!!!

[@somber7347]

usnavi punching people *yes*

Here to cleanse myself of the changes from the film (loved the film btw I just have a soft spot for the original)

Blackout gives me shivers no matter how many times I listen to it!

[@ActionJake101]

I just recently thought: “where’s Vanessa when the fight breaks out?” At 5:52 you see her break away from Usnavi to hide in a corner, but then literally 5 seconds later starts kicking someone on the ground 😂💀😂

[@internetuser528]

i am in love with the “oh no”s that the ensemble sing in this song.

[@заводнойапельсин-й3в]

THIS is beautiful.

Help me figure out why every time Sonny tries to close the grate but it's stuck I start to choke up

[@reyfvelazquez]

Wouldn't make a bit of sense story wise, but I wouldn't mind living in an alternate universe where this is the finale and I'm Home gets this spot.

[@pianopaeonia]

the realisation that Sonny’s talking about Usnavi’s store’s garage door “it’s late and this grate won’t come down”, and the flashes of lights are fireworks

[@sydastr_]

NO ONE CAN RECREATE THE PANIC LIKE THE OBC IVE CHECKED TRUST ME

[@zoenoelle8844]

i don't even know anything about this musical but this song made me want to see it live!

[@lilyf7632]

Poor Usnavi she’s started dancing with someone while he was talking to her and he followed her around trying to have a conversation 🥺

[@andresochika1121]

watching this slime tutorial after seeing the film version blackout just so i could feel something :^/

[@bobgray7412]

the original cast is gold in youtube

[@thecristishow7772]

This scene could’ve been iconic in the movie had they stuck to the freaking Script

[@orangutansoda]

I was just watching this on my break because i wanted to see how they did the scene… and uh.. Anyways i’m crying now. I didn’t expect to feel so moved like this

[@mayme4743]

i am jealous of the audience that were able to experience that

[@kmb1023x]

Can anyone tell why Vanessa comes in late compared to the ensemble (but with the band!) at 6:40? Did the actors get off from the band around 6:19 when the audience claps and cheers in the middle of the song?

[@dylanosterbrock9024]

What are they clapping at the beginning of Blackout?

[@MsLivinglegend19]

I think a lot of the audience didn't realise it was a new song so start clapping when they've realised it's a new song? not 100% sure though

[@blbradford73]

They’re two different songs.

[@randompikmin4103]

Probably a clap for the club performance? It definitely deserves one omg

[@limehof]

Pretty sure they were applauding the cast suddenly bringing out flashlights for the performance. You can kind of see the spots of light from 6:21. When my college out up In the Heights, they did the same thing. We all thought the theater's power actually got cut, then applauded when we realized it was part of the musical!

[@yinesscaaponte8295]

Emil Hofileña i think ots cuz of all the mixes of the voices. Cuz if u notice there clapping after “Oye que paso” So they start to clap like 2 seconds after all the songs come tongue in a beautiful genius tht only lin manuel coud write. He is a geniu

[@Moonmoon-ws6jo]

Blackout and inutil is one of my favorite songs from in the heights. Black out is such a work of genius i swear
