Why are people not clamoring for an album or something thats comprised of songs that were cut from the show?? I mean, 'Hear Me Out' is awesome, and 'No Me Meto' is hilarious!!! I mean, it'd be cool to see (or hear, rather) the cast get back together for a recording session! :)
As a theatre person, this is gold!!! Love to all who worked on this magical piece for soooooooo long ... and now my Latino acting students all want to do it! ox rmg
OMG...so last night i couldnt sleep and came across the pbs Great Performances of In The Heights...and I stayed up till 4 to watch it!!! and I was BLOWN away its now one of my Fav. Musicals...MUST HAVE MORE!!!! (oh and i was So shocked to see a cast member that i have heard of no offense to anyone...but Robin Dejesus was in CAMP!! I love that show) But now i cant believe no one told me about ITH its Fantabulous!
breathtaking, beautiful, incredible,unstoppable, EPIC!! there are too many words I can use to describe the sound that came out of their mouths and your fabulous wake up call :) thanks for everything Lin! You NEVER cease to amaze me :]] !!
Omg i heard a few of these cut songs before i think they're awesome! I like Janet and adore Robin! But where's Andrea? :-( ... AnYwHoO i love the show you're genius Lin!!!!
NATALIE CORTEZ SAY WHAAAAAAT. That is mah guuurl I loved her in A Chorus Line. I had no idea she was involved with ITH. This makes her rock even more than she already does.
Now I can better understand Thomas Kail's comments in the liner notes--while I can't imagine a more perfect product than the CD in my hand, it had to be like selling off children to ditch those other (equally fabulous) songs. Digging y'all jamming to OutKast in the car..... CTFU @ "Oneill b***h!"
Is the guy at 2:03-2:27 singing as Lincoln? He sounds amazing! Seeing this vid and then thinking to how this show has evolved now is incredible. Really, ITH=WIN! Oh, and by the way, you were awesome on House last night =)
@usnavi Thats Awesome, I love that song! For Crying out I'm talking about the song Huey Dunbar sings in this video and Michael Arden sang at the Junk in The Trunk concert back in 07. haha But I'm glad thats not the last I'lll be hearing of Rewind Tonight!
Oh, Usnavi, Tu es mi amore. (I think I spelled that right. LOL :-P) Anyways, holy crap thank you for putting this up. This is some great footage, and the level of ability in the voices in this just break my heart.
The Song they were singing in the car was - Rosa Parks by Outkast. My understanding is that a lot of these songs didn't make it to the finale show or were edited in someway.
Here's an idea! Anyone remember "The Yellow Brick Road Not Taken" that was done by Wicked? Maybe ITH could have some kind of a concert showcasing some of these songs that didn't make the final drafts of the show. I mean, some of these actually sound really good. Especially that riffy song at 5:34
HUEY DUNBAR?!?! WHY WAS HIS CHARACTER CUT?!?! PUT HIM BACK, I LOVE HIM! but then again, i love in the heights, so i guess that's a sacrafice i have to make
I was aiming for those gorgeous clouds across a perfect field, but way to admit your fixation on my junk. Brave!
"billy?....open the door billy"
loved this haha

AHHH!! Natalie Cortez!!
I feel like I'm watching Lin's child's baby videos.
*Looks at camera* Wepa.
Wow the show has changed a lot. And you can see Javi here- these rworkshops can really get you places.
Alabanza totally gave me chills. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Yeah, love the song at 4:00.... i wish there was more Robin singing in the actual production.... :[
This so great! I love seeing how bits and pieces the songs that were dropped made it into the final show!
I would love to be i a show with Robin and the rest of the cast of Heights. :)
ARGHHHH!!! I LOVE ROBIN DE JESUS!!!

I absolutely adore this video! I can't stop watching it! :)
There definitely needs to be another ITH cd with some of the cut songs...
breathtaking, beautiful, incredible,unstoppable, EPIC!!
there are too many words I can use to describe the sound that came out of their mouths and your fabulous wake up call :)
thanks for everything Lin! You NEVER cease to amaze me :]] !!
@ojarespectaculeronTd Crying Out? I don't know what that is. Rewind Tonight is badass though, I'll find some other use for it.
I squealed when I saw Robin DeJesus.
Robin looks so cute! Yay for CT!
...wait was that a voltron on the piano?
If so have a new found love for this show.
There's a whole other musical on the cutting room floor!
Omg i heard a few of these cut songs before i think they're awesome! I like Janet and adore Robin! But where's Andrea? :-( ... AnYwHoO i love the show you're genius Lin!!!!
Wow, so different! I love seeing stuff like this, just in the process of making a masterpiece! You're incredible Lin! :D
i agree about the CD...it would be amazing
BLACKOUT!!!!!!!!!
yesssssssssss.
some of the unused songs should come out on a special edition cd or something. they're so good!
Oh this is so cool! I love hearing the cut songs.
AH thanks for sharing this with us Lin! The harmonies on Alabanza sounded EXQUIRSITE!
NATALIE CORTEZ SAY WHAAAAAAT.
That is mah guuurl I loved her in A Chorus Line. I had no idea she was involved with ITH. This makes her rock even more than she already does.
wow! some things are soo different! i love it!
this is so crazy to experience!
I wonder if you have ever thought about releasing all these songs in some form or other?
wow..so many things got changed. this is a gem- thank you!
IS THERE SHEET MUSIC FOR LINCOLN'S SONG?????? LIN, SENOR, POR FAVOR, hook a brotha up!! :D
Huey Dunbar!!! Oh my god DLG was the soundtrack to my life all day every day, now its In The Heights
4:37
OMG, gossip!!!
I wish I saw the original version!
Yeah, they should so totally do it!
Thanks for the vid Lin. Would love to know how the ITH movie is coming along.
Thank you for this. It made my rather crappy last few days so much better.
This is priceless!
There's no other words.
And King Sherman was the fucking bomb.
Huey Dunbar impresionante... :)
7:44
"....O'Neill bitch...."
Now I can better understand Thomas Kail's comments in the liner notes--while I can't imagine a more perfect product than the CD in my hand, it had to be like selling off children to ditch those other (equally fabulous) songs.

Oh, and by the way, you were awesome on House last night =)
This is so awesome, thats pretty cool how much the show has changed since 2005, but why weren't you doing Usnavi, how did you end up as the character?
i want nothing more than to have your job. ugh, you're amazing
:)
superfan numbah here right now
thanks made my day
:)
wow those cut songs are beautiful man!
this is amazing!
Would like to take my mom to see it. I wonder if its still playing.
Are you ever going to release the sheet music to any of the older songs? I would love to sing Crying Out and Rewind Tonight! Haha I'd buy that!
I think that for the movie you should use the original broadway cast. There's nothing like the original cast. :))
@usnavi Thats Awesome, I love that song! For Crying out I'm talking about the song Huey Dunbar sings in this video and Michael Arden sang at the Junk in The Trunk concert back in 07. haha But I'm glad thats not the last I'lll be hearing of Rewind Tonight!

wow u cut mad songz from the musical....damn
aww this is so nice
So... when are the cut songs going to be released? It's pretty necessary that they are.
It is a gorgeous view! Just wish the camera was angled up a little more so as not to distract.
omg, Dancing to Pedro Navaja at 1:53
I totally grew up on Ruben Blades!
haha i love you for putting this up!
Lol love the ending! "O'Neil Bitch"
Lin, How come u didnt start out as Usnavi, back then?
Wish I could have seen Natalie as Nina.
Hahahaha, I love the death stare at :55
nina is amazing!
hahaha love tommys death stare at :54 lol
@mpheli Yup it is!
Here's an idea!

It totally is.
I have that same Voltron figure.
1:52-2:01 = Pedro Navaja!!!
Natalie Cortez was Nina. Holy Crap.
jaja, eso era pedro navajas?
this is great
The confrontation between Kevin and Nina at 2:30- seems like it could have a lot of potential. Was it cut? And if so, why?
is that the original singer from the latin group DLG??? at 2:17
is Dunbar on the album? & which song is that @ 2 20?
HUEY DUNBAR?!?!
WHY WAS HIS CHARACTER CUT?!?! PUT HIM BACK, I LOVE HIM!
but then again, i love in the heights, so i guess that's a sacrafice i have to make
what song is playing in the car?
"o'neil bitch"
brings a tear to my eye :')
Not enough Lincoln Rosario.
"...wepa."
THE SHAQUILLE O'NEIL CENTER?
what's the song at 3:26?
Funny!!
holy shit. this stuff is poppin!!
O'NEILL BITCH
LMFAO at :51, :54, and 7:46
