What ever happened to Ninja anyway? I was on a NT hiatus for a bit and see hes gone
Did all them shoeboxes collapse on him?
1 merengue song in an entire musical based on a neighborhood of majority Dominicans where the national music is merengue. Like I said the film had more Puerto Rican culture than Dominican. Should have called it in el barrio not in the heights. Anybody from nyc knows it’s 2 completely different vibes in those neighborhood. And then they go and release it during Puerto Rican parade weekend tooSoundtrack Song #5 "It Won't Be Long" is merengue.

El Alfa song would have saved this film and I Don’t really rock with reggaeton either. Movie was trash got the whole feel of the neighborhood wrong.I think that is what seperates the feedback.
Those that have seen the play in 2005 and expected a musical based on the immigrant experience. And those expecting to see El Alfa smoking hookah on Dyckman.

Think they banned him as soon as they found out who he wasHe get banned from Coli?
Starts with putting the phone down and stop being a Niketalk trollWhat was that process like and were you given any creative control?
And then the older Dominicans would have been mad it wasn't a Juan Luis Guerra song. You cannot please everyone. We literally do it to ourselves, you finally got a latin cast without a single gringo, and they still mad. They gave the bodegas, the Presidentes, hair salon gossip, the barbershops, the food & desserts, cafe con leche, the gypsy cabs, the iconic tunnel subway station, the fireworks, the loud music, the street mechanics, the dominos, the public pool, the open fire hydrants, even the cat calling lolEl Alfa song would have saved this film and I Don’t really rock with reggaeton either.

So you telling me I can’t be mad cause they came out with a movie based on my neighborhood with no cast member that looks like me or any one in my family. Starting to believe you on the films payroll capping real hard for half jew Miranda. The cast was Latin but not the Latino demographic of the neighborhood the movie represents and was shoot in. Way more Puerto Rican influence than Dominican including the main actor/s.And then the older Dominicans would have been mad it wasn't a Juan Luis Guerra song. You cannot please everyone.

If you were really from the heights you know nobody drinking the presidentes from the bodega. Those are produce by Miller in Milwaukee. Nothing like the presidentes back home produced locally.
calm down. That seemed like a legit question.Starts with putting the phone down and stop being a Niketalk troll
Born and raised here only moved out to bk for like 4 years but moved back. Second biggest demo in the heights are Jews due to yeshiva university campus. Some Irish still linger from when the neighborhood was there’s in the 60’s and 70’s alsoQuestion, I visited the Heights a couple of times - during my visits - aren’t there other ethnicities that live there? Or, the movie is focus on a certain part?
