#there is still a bootleg with the original cast on yt but the quality is shitty haha

[pardonmydelays]

Can you give a kind of summary of what In The Heights is actually about 😭 this is coming from a girl who only knows it as 🎵 Usnavi all night, you barely even danced with meeee🎵

please somebody stop me from writing another essay

ok so basically it's the story of a few characters living in the new york city latino neighbourhood of washington heights. so we have:

usnavi: a bastard, orphan the owner of the store, who is trying to save money to pursue his dream of leaving nyc and moving to dominican republic where his parents come from

nina: a girlie who dropped out of college and now that she's back home she is afraid of telling her parents (and basically everyone) how big of a disappointment she is

vanessa: she works at the hair salon where she doesn't make much money, she's dreaming about moving downtown (usnavi is in love with her)

benny: he works for nina's dad and is also in love with nina

and there are more, but i don't want to spoil anything for you, if you're planning to watch it. also, it was supposed to be short haha.
