Re: letho – SECOND BITCHES!
What, no Xanadu??!!
nice! congratz
interesting!
It was awesome last night! In the Heights looks AWESOME!!!
8th!
Hey Perez escribiste Auzcar, Y es AZUCAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol # 3 jajaja am always # 100 and something
um … azucar?
Zzzzzzzzz…..
shouldn't that read "azucar" not "auzcar?" c'mon i thought you spoke spanish
Represent? Mario you're about as Latin as a can of black beans on the supermarket shelf. You were made in the USA, so you're American, not Cuban - despite what you still believe from your south Florida Catholic school education. Expand your mind - this is the 21st century.
WHAT?! no hairspray OR grease OR phantom??!?!?!?!?! c'mon Lance Bass as Corny Collins people!!!!!
I watched part of this joke yesterday. Broadway is not what it used to be. It looks like something I would see at Six Flags or at Dollywood, seriously. The men who look like that do not take their craft seriously, and the plays, my god. No wonder people go watch Disney recreations on Broadway.
AZUCAR!! Not Auzcar! Learn how to spell in spanish, Mr. Mariquita!!!
auzcar, then! hahahah
How, could Patti Lupone dare to take that role! She made me grimace when she sung….Where is Ethel and Roz??? Broadway is dead…All the greats are gone …and I mean the writers and composers too…At least they left us their terrific scores and music…But, Patti Lupone????
soooo happy in the heights won!!!!
loved lin-manuel miranda and patti lupone's speeches.
awesome ceremony:)
'we love broadway"!!
what was the last play you saw???? I bet you've never been….what a POSER!
This idiot…with all the money he earns, you'd think he'd know how to implement a spell-check onto his posts. For someone making a living off of writing on a website, the LEAST he could do is PROOFREAD his material. He's just as sloppy with is writing as he is with his body and his overalll look.
In the Heights is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VIVA WASHINTON HEIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In The Heights put me to sleep.
Mel Brooks and company got robbed.
Shows how political the swishy Tony people really are.
What no Xanadu??
AUZCAR!!! LOL!
in the heights is like a new religion!!! i got my tickets for $30 when i went. probably wont get to see it for that cheap anymore after last night! haha
No Xanadu, what a freaking jip! The Tony's suck this year
Perez you fag…they're not representing you. This is a show about latinos meaning Puerto ricans and such, you're a white Hispanic of Spanish background. Don't be an idiot and all PC and stuff.
Yay for In the Heights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im so pissed. in the heights isnt even good. the five minute preformance was unbareable
xanadu deserved it.
If "In the Heights" were any cornier it would floating in my toilet in a big fat turd!! Rap is corny to begin with, but when you got some white nerd rapping…it's like the Urkel family reunion run wild!! It's so bad that it's cringe inducing.
Yuk. I would never see this. Too much Spanish stuff…or Mexican..or whatever.
Perez, you gotta tell your high school interns to spell check before posting. They can't even do that, HOW EMBARRASSING!!!!
Re: Perez –
You're a fucking idiot..this show is not about Puerto Ricans, its about Dominicans which make up most of the population of Washington Heights…
Re: Danie –
SLAP YOUR MOTHER FOR NOT HAVING AN ABORTION YOU IGNORANT WASTE.
awesome!
Man, Broadway is going to pot.
Re: nagna –
You are the idiot becaue the writer is puerto rican, maybe you see similarities because our cultures, meaning puertorican and dominican are somewhat similar.
Re: chris – oh please - patti lupone rocks that role - better than merman
what no xanadu at all, poor cubby bernstein!!!!
thank you perez. thank you for giving props.
Re: Marky – shut the fuck up you retard. you don't know anything.
It's AZUCAR!!!!!!!!!!!
it´s azúcar
wow you people are so completely ignorant. you have no idea what latino means. and you have no idea what this musical is about. you spout out these ridiculous hateful things and you just sound like a bunch of idiots.
not liking in the heights, thats fair enough, but spouting ignorant statements about what specific type of people its about? its about latinos, period. it can be enjoyed by all latinos and non latinos alike. its about urban living. its about hip hop, salsa, and reggaeton. its about scrimping and working hard and struggling to stay afloat.
get educated people. before you go spouting out ignorant shit. you really make yourselves look moronic.
You meant to say.. *Azucar* and not "Auzcar"
what? no one commented about sondheim? i'm glad he got the lifetime achievement, after all, he's the best composer of musical theatre history!
I saw that last night that was great! The highlight of the night though also went to the obc of Rent that was cool!
please queens, La Lupone RULES in "GYPSY"!! yes, she chews the scenery - and she spits it back out into the damn audience like a wood chipper machine spewing out shavings, just like a good Broadway diva should! her "MAMA ROSE" is the best EVER!!
Congrats PATTI!!
Well deserved!!!! In the Heights is an excellent show, I saw it when it was off broadway for 25.00. I would definitely see it again!
What is the show about?
'Rent" with sp@cs?
Auzcar!!!! : AZUCAR mr. perez, que? ya se te esta olvidando el espanol? Don't turn gringuito on us now!
who cares??? there is no creativity anymore that they have to write a musical about the dumb-in-a-cans???? aahahaahha and the puerto ricans? those two are the same, dumb, loud, zero class and all either on welfare or doing menial jobs…. face it, who the hell wants to live above 96th street ? NO BODY
Re: melis –
ahahahah a musical about reaggeton? staying afloat while on welfare? with 3 kids from 3 different fathers? ahahahahahahahahah yeah thats pure entertainment! dont you get it? all the successful latinos are in boston playing golf on sundays, not "in the heights" eating rice and beans, only the low class hispanics live up there.
AZUCAR!! Not Auzcar! CLASES DE ESPAÑOL!!!!!! PORFAVOR.
um YOU DIDNT GROW UP IN THE HEIGHTS… SO WHO YOU "REPRESENTIN??"
YA KNOW PEREZ…YOU'RE A LOT MORE RACIST THAN I EVER THOUGHT…
you're always pointing out races and shit and that's not cool.
No pare, sigue, sigue!!
Congrats! Saw the show in April. Such an amazing show.
Saw the play when it was off broadway it was great!!!!!!!!!!! and Congrats.
in the heights and August were both AMAZING shows… sooo glad they won
megan mullally should have at least been nominated! aggghhhh
Ok, first of all let's leave the AZUCAR part out of this…Not everyone that's latin happens to be Cuban. Why Mr. PerezHIlton don't you give any recognition to the Dominican community? The reason as to why this play is called "The Heights" is because it's based on latinos , mainly Puerto Rican's and Dominican's in Washington Heights. So in other words, lets leave the Cubanism out at least this once.
Re: Danie – a person as ignorant as you shouldnt even have the right to speak
I wish Cher would win a Tony. Then she'd have an Oscar, Grammy, Emmy and Tony. Somebody, please put Cher on Broadway!!!!
In The Heights was a GREAT musical and August: Osage County was also superb. I HIGHLY recommend both - and I've seen a lot of Broadway.
Thanks Perez! (even though I doubt you "represent" Washington Heights)
In The Heights and August: Osage County were both INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend them - and I've seen a lot of Broadway. It was a great Tony year!
Thanks, Perez! (even though I doubt you "represent" Washington Heights)
WHAT THE FUCK? Xanadu didn't get shit! Oh well, at least we can look forward to the DVD re-release next Tuesday.
A place, where nobody dared to go. The love that we came to know. They call it Xanaduuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
this show was soooo good
Re: hahah –
AND WHAT NATIONALITY ARE YOU? MOST PROBABLY WHITE TRAILER TRASH, REDNECK; BUT REGARDLESS WHERE YOU ARE FROM THIS DESCRIBES YOU THE BEST: IGNORANT PIECE OF SHIT, DUMB ASS, CRACK HEAD, IMBESSIL
Re: hahah –
You seem to know so much about Washington Heights, Oh wait, your mother was one of those that you mentioned..
"In The Heights" Is a cliche Broadway musical. Mr.Lin-Manuel Miranda should not put out something that he has nooooooooo idea about. Maybe he should take a trip uptown to Washington Heights and rethink what he has written.
