I love how both of Lin's musicals' finales have a repeating word that sorta explains the story. This one was "home" and the one in Hamilton was "time"

ntravi2 I just realised that those are the core themes of the plays though! Like "home" is quite clearly the key theme of in the heights (escaping home,remembering home and so on) but with Hamilton too "time" could be considered the main theme of that too ("wait for it" "write like you're running out of time" and so on) OMG that's so cool though. Lin is a genius!

And also how both have "legacy" and "tell your story", etc. as major themes... and how in both, the final song has a lot to do with that in particular....

ntravi2 In Carnival Del Barrio when lin talks about how they need to use the time they have to enjoy themselves they use the same background chord progression as in non-stop when he tells burr "What are you waiting for, what do you stall for, we won the war what was that all for." They're really more similar than diffrent

There will come a day when Lin sings this song without crying... Today is not that day.

I can't not cry either. Literally terrified of sobbing uncontrollably in the theater.

This musical may not have a huge fanbase, but by just watching this one performance it is easy to see why we all love it so much. While the highest existential questions aren't answered in the show, the questions we ask ourselves about love, loss, and acceptance are. We all see a part of ourselves in these characters and the songs they sing mostly due to Lin's absolutely superb lyrics along with the spectacular performances of the actors. In The Heights remains the greatest musical of the century and will surely stand the test of time. I am so lucky to have stumbled upon this show last year.

As someone born and raised in the Heights (191 and Wadsworth Terrace), who knows the culture and experienced it first hand, and who now lives in a different state but comes home to the Heights every year, that last line "take the train to the top of the world, I'm home" always gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes cuz it's true!

Mochamomof5 well said. No matter where we are or where we go, we still rep our city. I’m from So Cal, the hood parts, moved from city to city in Cali, and may end up later in life moving out of state, but Cali is, and always be home to me. I guess if I can change that last part, it would go something like this. “I hear the music in the air, take the metro to the top of the world cause I’m there, I’m home!”

All the cast have such a special relationship. Like Karen clinging onto Chris's arm whilst crying and Daniela and Carla holding hands whilst singing "The hydrants are open, cool breezes blow." They are all so adorable. And the smiles and proud looks they give each other. And Mandy's point to the singer in the blue dress when shes singing at the start. And just how happy they are performing together. Edit: oh I forgot the ensemble lip syncing Lins lines when Mandy is singing "we're home" in the background

In the heights Finale is hands down one of the best closing numbers in musical theater! Whether listening to the cast recording, watching a video clip or experiencing it live, my heart swells and my eyes water EVERY SINGLE TIME! Hamilton is good, but In the Heights has ALL the heart❤

My favorite last song to any musical ever. Amazing. I love this song so much. It makes me cry at least 60% of the time.

Here after watching the teaser for tomorrow's trailer and it is just _breathtaking_ how far this story came. I can't wait to see how they adapted it. Especially with Anthony playing Usnavi.

why can I not listen to this without crying AHHHHHHHH. I love it though.

lin will never stop moving

Rip Doreen :((

You and me both!!!.......It was really hard filming this with tears running down my face!!!!

"who's gonna notice we're gone" that's the main theme in Hamilton

this show needs to come back NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this show . Much credit and respect to all the cast, but the band is on FIRE. So damn good musically. Lin is a GENIUS!

My heart...!!!

RIP Doreen Montalvo :'(

"It's a wonderful life that I've known Merry Christmas" I see what you did there, Lin.

With the film doing so well, I definitely smell a Broadway revival of IN THE HEIGHTS coming!!!

When I first saw this show which was played by local actors. I cried so much. I live in a border town so we all could relate with the characters. Especially Abuela Claudia she reminded me so much of my grandma. This show brought so much happiness and music I listen to it everyday. I’m so glad Lin was able to share this show with everyone. The ending song always makes me cry.

Who's crying because of this in 2019

take the train to the top of the world and i'm there, i'm home :')

Shoot. I should have been into musicals this whole time.

Thank you for posting this!

almost forgot to watch this today

Amazing! Thank you for this!

Another thing, I love the way Lin delayed the last "Home" at the end! I've been seeing a lot of videos of the Finale and he never did that until this one...

Thanks for filming this, awesome!

Karen at 1:15 got me 😭

My first and only contact with In The Heights was an amateur play here in Buenos Aires, and I loved the musical. Last year, there was another play which I couldn't see. I became a fan of it! And this video is pure magic, pure emotion!

Well there goes my not crying streak

I performed this musical for my school's spring musical. Sharing it for my school was an honor. I would love to see it live! ❤

After all these years, this song still gives me goosebumps...

5 years on... still in tears

No words for how much I love this song.

I came here for inspiration for writing a slam poem on the topic of home.. Now I'm distracting because I've just cried watching this moving performance.

Always emotional this ending. Thanks.
