Wow, Chris Jackson is one of my favorite performers/singers but this Benny absolutely killed it. Real nice flow and hit all the notes real smooth. Really really enjoyed his performance.
Thank you so much!! Chris Jackson is my big bro, I was his understudy as part of the Original Broadway Cast and he made sure I was ready and to add my own flare 🙏🏾❤
holy SHIT this whole performance was fucking ELECTRIFYING. That Benny! THAT VANESSA!! THAT ENERGY!!!!!! how is hamilton lmm's most acclaimed musical when in the heights EXISTS?!!?!
Loved the Benny and yes for that Vanessa! Karen will ALWAYS have it on lock but Sabrina did her thing. I love this song! The energy of the cast mixed with the audience's was just right~
Oh damn this is one of the smoothest performances of 96,000 I've seen, I adore the original song but I've always felt that the last section where all the characters sing their parts was a little messy but this was really smooth and blended together beautifully
Sarah Ma Yeah you can tell their accents are even different, and that's because the west coast has a higher population of Mexicans than the Carribeans that the musical is written to portray
I played Benny... This was a performance from the 1st National tour, Lin joined us for the LA run. I'm actually an Original Broadway Cast member, you'll find my name on the Broadway Cast album, so I was in the room where it happened lol But my role in the show was to cover 6 Male Chorus roles and 1 Lead Benny. I was like a 6th man on an NBA Basketball team. Hope that helped🙏🏾 Go and check out the movie on June 11th!
the fact that lin was spitting bars from hamilton 10 years ago during the part where everyone sings together is making me cry i love this man so fuckin much
Damn this song oozes energy. This wasn't half bad!! I do lie the originals better, but these people are good! Especially the people who played Vanessa & Benny! They brought their own flavor to those characters. But, Daniela & Carla...i love the originals :P
We were the 1st National tour, but the role of Sonny played my boy Shaun Taylor Corbett and Benny by myself... We were the only Original Broadway Cast members on the tour 🙏🏾❤ Check out the movie this Thursday!!
@Shimmering heart when broadway show do promos like this one they usually cut the song to fit the show or event's timing I hate when they do it but :le sigh: still a grate performance :D
Next thing you know, Lin has long hair, a child, and won EVEN MORE TONYS
Next thing you know, we’ve been through a pandemic and Hamilton has come out on a Disney streaming service. Hope you’re doing well through all this!
JESUS CHRIST THIS BENNY IS AMAZING
He is! Who is he, does anyone know?
Vanessa too!
I prefer Chris Jackson tbh
Leonardo Talavera THIS Benny just knocked me on my ass holy shit!
@@Chelsea-sf3bx me too

So are we just gonna ignore the fact that at 3:43 the third line Lin sings is "I can sing on the Lopez Sho-o-ow!" LOL XD
I'll always prefer originals, but this Benny is AMAZING
+Billie4Mozzarella Who is it? It is killing me!
+Billie4Mozzarella I saw this Benny on Broadway and I cannot remember his name for the life of me!
+Molly G Figured it out! Rogelio Douglas Jr!
+Billie4Mozzarella For real, this Benny's flow is amazing.
For real tho!
I always hate how the TV performances cut out Sonny's verse because it gets me so HYPED!! Also this Benny is awesome and I love his hair.
Yeah
Sonny speaks too much truth in his verse. Look at the way the US has gone since they hit Broadway, Lin saw the way the wind was blowing.
sonny's part is so inspirational and speaks truth
Appreciate You 🙏🏾
Has noone noticed Lin changed the words to 'can sing on the lopez show' haha. I love him.
omg didn't notice
this Benny is mad amazing. Lin smiles a little every time he spits a verse and it makes my heart melt
Check him out on Spotify! Rogelio Douglas Jr.
Thank you 🙏🏾 It was a special moment... We always bonded over Hip-Hop
Lin was back there like dang this brother is good
I love the originals but I really loved this Benny! I also love Karen but damn this Vanessa is so good! I loved how she pronounced baRRio.

Check him out on Spotify! Rogelio Douglas Jr.

This Vanessa is amazing. She sounds so much like the original.
The og Vanessa name is Karen
Karen Olivo? yeah she's pretty much in the same range
Vanessa and Benny SLAYED!! I'm so surprised the new cast was so good!
🙏🏾❤

@@RogelioDouglasJr hey bro didn't think anyone else could do Benny like Chris but you absolutely killed it. That flow, dance & singing was next level!
FINALLY a Vanesa that says "baRRio" instead of "baRio/baDio" and OMG BENNY !!!🔥🔥
Oh damn this is one of the smoothest performances of 96,000 I've seen, I adore the original song but I've always felt that the last section where all the characters sing their parts was a little messy but this was really smooth and blended together beautifully
So tight, amazing breath control, perfectly in tune, just crazy good
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
I still cry watching this performance to this day
Aww, what did you think of the movie?
I REALLY love this Benny O.O
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
Whoa I got chills
why is the only person part of the original cast here lin?
west coast cast, i believe. Lin flew out to be part of the televised event.
They performed at the Pantageous
Sarah Ma Yeah you can tell their accents are even different, and that's because the west coast has a higher population of Mexicans than the Carribeans that the musical is written to portray
Yeah I know right

🙏🏾❤
@@RogelioDouglasJr Omg Benny! I saw the show both in LA and again in Orange County during that touring season. You were so amazing! Much love! ❤️
God this is such a great musical
"I can sing on the Lopez show..." :-D GOTTA love Lin!

🙏🏾❤
lmao! "Damn where only joking! Stay broke then" then "I GET TO SING ON THE LOPEZ SHOW!" i love Lin XD
This is really good. Love the LA Cast!
Holy crap so good! Missin' Sonny's part though but still so good.
Que lindo mi paisano 🇵🇷Dios lo bendiga 🙏

Im seeing this tomorrow!!!
Damn! This Vanessa is so GOOD!
He can sing on the Lopez Shoooow! (This cast is so amazing though! They did great.)
the fact that lin was spitting bars from hamilton 10 years ago during the part where everyone sings together is making me cry i love this man so fuckin much
@BiteMe1132 I SAW THIS GUY PLAY SONNY ON BROADWAY TWICE!!!! HE'S AMAZING!!!
Who's here after the official In The Heights movie trailer dropped today?!
Mary-Simone Elizabeth Collazo 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
I disagree, this Benny is an amazing performer, and Vanessa is real pretty and signs amazing too. It is a good understudy for the Los Angeles Cast..
+Savannah C Did you see how proud Lin looked at Benny? It was so cute. lol
+Savannah C Omg I was trying to figure out who the chick was. Found it thanks to your comment. lol
She was also Angelica in the Angelica tour for Hamilton! I met her, she’s super nice and really pretty!
Thank you! 🙏🏾❤ I'm an Original Broadway Cast member also... check the cast album, then see the movie this Thursday ❤
Although i LOVE the original cast, this is probably my favorite cast!
I love Karen Olivo but this Vanessa was AMAZING!
@Iverson7502 yes she was on idol :) Sabrina Sloan season six. she's my aunt!!
OOOOH I love this Vanessa much more than the original!! Her voice seems more fitting for the song. :)
damn....this guy KILLS benny! SO GOOD.
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
This Benny had me shook!
🤣 I'm not a bad person lol 🙏🏾❤
This is the national tour (Lin is playing Usnavi because it's the Lopez Tonight).
I love the OBC, but DAMN this cast is good!
@BiteMe1132 woah!!!! I remember watching him on Hi-5 lol he was my favorite character xD
The guy playing Sonny? I knew he looked familiar.
That breakdown reminds me a lot to Battle of Yorktown... Or I could say it backwards
Damn this song oozes energy. This wasn't half bad!! I do lie the originals better, but these people are good! Especially the people who played Vanessa & Benny! They brought their own flavor to those characters. But, Daniela & Carla...i love the originals :P
OMG i need more of this Benny. Anybody knows his name?
Thank you so much 🙏🏾❤
is that Lin Minuel?
no
yes
It is!
I am obsessed with Hamilton, but this is the first i've heard of this show.
ummm
I can sing on the Lopez show XD
that was funny XD
love this show
Is this a later Broadway cast cause they KILLED IT
We were the 1st National tour, but the role of Sonny played my boy Shaun Taylor Corbett and Benny by myself... We were the only Original Broadway Cast members on the tour 🙏🏾❤ Check out the movie this Thursday!!
3:55 to the end sounds like something from hamilton but I can’t put my finger on it. Am I imagining things?
Non-Stop and Yorktown
Oh my god! There is a scene that Lin forgets what is his next line and by a second he remembers his Pinnochio. Wow that was quick
GET ITTTTTTT rogelio!!! :D
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
what is the person's name who played benny
Thank you, me llamo Rogelio 🙏🏾❤
I think this may be my FAVORITE Benny EVER. :) Anyone know who this is?
Thank you so much 🙏🏾❤
What did you think of Film Benny?
@Shimmering heart when broadway show do promos like this one they usually cut the song to fit the show or event's timing I hate when they do it but :le sigh: still a grate performance :D
WHO IS THIS SONNY, I'M OBSESSED WITH HIM
that guy in the red with the cap seems like he has star potential... I'm going to keep my eye on that young man ;-)
What about the part with Sonny and Graffiti Pete? I love that part it prepares me for Vanessa talking voice when she says: You are so cute! >.<
Whose playing Vanessa??? She's pretty good.
Wait. Is that shaun from hi-5
no fucking way, that's actually him?
I knew he looked familiar.
Yes, yes it is... My Bro STC 🙏🏾❤
@alynn234 yes!!!! i totally saw that!!! i was on the floor laughing!!! this was awesome!!! :)
*opens with the person of shark boy and lava girl"
IM FREAKING OUT P!G HE WAS APRT OF MY CHILDHOOD
THAT'S MY BOY! GO ROGELIO!!!!
Hey Rob! 🙏🏾❤
What's with cutting "knapsack" to just "sack"?
He’s the guy that made encanto
The only people that are actually the cast is usnavi and sonny
umm Sonny is played by Robin De Jesus not that guy
Oh well idk
He is in the ensemble though.
Incorrect, Benny is also an Original Broadway Cast member 🙏🏾❤
OMG lin's face omg
Really dont like this Carla. Shes not sassy enough.
Hold on, did Lin come back or something?
I think i saw this guy in Sharkboy and lavagirl. From Brazil.
@theminutepast no he's native american
I love this Benny but I prefer the original Vanessa :/
Other way around for me
Thank you 🙏🏾❤
Where is Sonny
WOW CHRIS WHERE U AT MATE
who plays sonny in this cast??
He looks familiar. I can only tell you that.
Found out. He’s Shaun Taylor-Corbett.
why is the only original cast member in this performance? is it because he actually wrote it and they wanted to talk to him?
Yeah technically. This was during the In The Heights west coast tour and Lin flew out from New York just to be there
Vanessa's eyebrows tho ://
Wich cast is this?
LA cast. Lin flew over from New York to be a part of this performance.
WHERE IS CHRIS JACKSON AND THE ACTUAL CAST WHAT IS THIS HOW
+Courtney Camarillo Show changes cast once a year for the most part. Some do come back if they want. I don't get why this is so shocking?
This was the 1st National Tour... When we got to LA Lin joined us for the entire run 🙏🏾❤
@cami0902
I think this Benny is a better dancer, maybe even singer, but the original just fits the part better.
Appreciate You 🙏🏾❤
damn we only joking stay broke then.
VANESSA + USNAVI is the best ship ever!!!!!!!!!!11
