#in the heights
We are really getting an In the Heights movie with a movie soundtrack
quotes that are love to me
- “if you are intolerable, let me be the one to tolerate you,” i said, and then i kissed her and tasted the lemon juice on her lips.
- and what does it mean that we have not spoken in a decade but i still hear your voice in my head every day?
- now the only person i think about is you.
- let’s get married right here and now. me and you. in this bed. you don’t even have to put on a white nightgown.
- "so please don’t say you’re proud of me when i’ve lost my way” “then can i say: i couldn’t get my mind off you all day”
- you are a call to motion. there, all of you, a verb in perfect view.
- slap my face, or hold me till winter.
- let’s be scared together. let’s pretend that nothing is awful. there’s nothing to fear, just stay right here.
- “do you regret?”
“i’d do it again. i’d like to believe that i’d do it again and again and again… and what more can i say?” - as she sees him, her heart skips, just once. like it used to.
he hears it. - “you dreamt of me?”
“no, i thought of you” - now you hang from my lips like the gardens of babylon, with your boots beneath my bed, forever is the sweetest con.
- i don’t know where this road will end but i’ll walk it with you hand in hand. do you let me walk with you?
- i was thinking that i would like to never have to leave this room. what do you think about that? …let’s just stay here.
- sometimes… i still wish we never left that room.
- yes, now i know that home is where you are.
- in the low lamp light i was free, heaven and hell were words to me. when my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold dark earth. no grave can hold my body down, i’ll crawl home to her.
- “i’ll take care of you.”
“it’s rotten work.”
“not to me. not if its you.”

home as a person in musical theatre
- “the street’s a little kinder when you’re home, can’t you see that the day seems clearer now that you are here or is it me? maybe its just me”
- “please believe that when you find your way again, you’re gonna change the world. and then we’re all gonna brag and say we knew her when this was your home”
“i’m home-”
“welcome home-”
“when you’re here with me i used to think we lived at the top of the world! i’m home.”
“you’re finally home!” - “but even if everything else turns to dirt, we’ll be the one thing in this world that won’t hurt. i can’t fix what’s fucked up. but one thing i know i can do: i can be perfect for you.”
- “i’ve been a lot of places, but i’ve learned now near and far- there’s no need to roam cause home is where you are.”
- “so long as you come home at the end of the day, that would be enough… let me be a part of the narrative, in the story they will write someday, let this moment be the first chapter, where you decide to stay.”
- “it’s a long road. it’s a long walk, back into the cold and dark. are you sure you wanna go?”
“take me home.” - “i can’t promise you fair sky above, can’t promise you kind road below. but i’ll walk beside you, love. any way the wind blows.”

Character line-up for my adaptation of In the Heights that focuses on Nina’s story! (I had to make Sonny younger so that there would be more variety in the lineup, and sadly ran out of time to design graffiti pete :( )

My controversial musical theatre movie moment is that I could have done with one less Lin Manuel Miranda cameo in In The Heights.
hey y’all! so i know i don’t have that big of a following on here, but i’ve been gone for a while because of me not having enough storage on my phone to do anything in regards to school, so here’s the important things (at least, of what i can remember lol) of what’s been going on:
I DID A SHOWCASE W MY MUSICAL THEATRE CLASS!
so in my school, it’s a Performing Arts Academy. I am a Musical Theatre major, and so each MT class gets to do showcases, and ours happened to be Once on This Island Jr.! I got to be Mama Euralie, as well as be one of the Vocal Directors of the show! It was an amazing experience and will go down as one of the best things to have happened this school year. Here’s a picture (some) of my class and I during the number, Pray.

I RELEASED A NEW SINGLE!
So I’m not sure if y’all knew this, but a while back (August, to be exact), I released a single with one of my best friends of about six years and counting, Joey Miceli, who is a senior at my school. This is him:
(he is also, by the way, a TOTAL PRO at what he does– he has two albums out right now, both of which I’m featured on, and every lyric he writes is all his own on both. i truly am not saying this just because he’s one of my best friends, but because he is truly and sincerely talented. it would mean the world to me if y’all checked him out because he deserves WAY more recognition than what he gets right now!! pleaseeee go check out everything he has done!! youtubeinstatwitter facebook itunesspotifywebsite)
So we’ve released a song together back in August called Loveline (x,x,x), and in February, we went ahead and released ANOTHER song together! It’s called Back Again, and it’s a bit different than Loveline, but a good bop nonetheless. Getting to write and record songs is very cathartic for the both of us, and getting to release songs gives us so much joy, and I’d love and appreciate it tons if you guys could give it a listen! (and maybe even let me know what you think?)

(BONUS: To watch Joey and I perform BOTH Loveline and Back Again LIVE, click here!)
okay so that’s pretty much all i can think of off of the top of my head, also observing the fact that these were the two main events that really have stuck with me and give me a lot of joy and nostalgia lolol. thank y’all for going this far and sticking around, and hopefully i won’t be gone for too long! much love and light to y’all!! <3

Them: Are you okay?
Me to myself: Isn’t interesting how in Carnaval Del Barrio, they originally say “alza la bandera…” and continue to state the different nationalities of everyone in the heights, including Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Cuba And at the end they state all the nationalities again, but this time they don’t mention Cuba, which is strange, until the next song where they announce Abuela Claudia’s death, and you realize that Cuba wasn’t mentioned because the only Cuban who expresses it is Abuela Claudia, and by that point she had already died.
Me: I’m okay.
A lot of people have been reposting this and uh I’m here to hurt you some more. Because if I have to cry you do too.
Made another discovery writting the point below, flags are lowered in honor of those important who’ve died. Therefore, another reason it was not raised was to honor and respect Claudia.
At that same point in the song, Daniela is singing in the background. The first thing she says is “Alza la bandera,” and then by “La bandera Puertoriqueña” she starts singing “Adios” repeatedly. For anyone who doesn’t speak spanish, adios both means “Goodbye” and “To God.” For this reason, I believe Abuela Claudia died at that moment, the “adios” being both a goodbye to her and raising her to god (Aka, an alabanza).
new uquiz just dropped: which musical theater micro-genre are you? composed entirely of genres i made up myself. rb and let me know your results in the tags!
