I love how the early days didn't follow Usnavi's story!!!

This might be better than the Broadway Cast Recording of The Finale

This finale doesn't finish Usnavi's story like the released one does though...

Here's Eden Espinosa as Nina in an April 2005 reading of In The Heights! It's Very Different! The cast at this reading was
Eden Espinosa=Nina
Chris Jackson=Benny
Olga Merediz=Camila (!)
John Hererra=Kevin
Jene Hernandez=Vanessa
Me=Usnavi
Javier Muñoz=Lincoln (RIP)
Janet Dacal=Carla
Veronica Vasquez=Daniela
Doreen Montalvo=Abuela


Finale/Top Of The World In The Heights, April 2005

How to write an opening number for the Tony Awards:
1) Have Tom Kitt write a fiendishly simple and catchy melody.
2) Listen to this mp3 loop 100K times until you know what words to put to it.
3) Have Neil Patrick Harris give you 50 notes to make it funnier.
4) And you're done!

This is how the story of Gmorning, Gnight came into existence, to the tune of "The Other Side" by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul. Jonathan Sun & Lin-Manuel Miranda, in a bar. It happened JUST LIKE THIS. Here's a link to the book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/603592/gmorning-gnight-by-lin-manuel-miranda/9781984854278/

Gmorning & Gnight!

An interlude I wrote but never included. It would have gone between Meet Me Inside and That Would Be Enough.
Basically, Mulligan quits the army, as Hamilton is dismissed
(setting the stage for his Yorktown return)
