Wow this was so long ago. Well whoever this was, I hope you had fun and that playing Carla was all you wanted it to be 💕💕
playing carla in an upcoming production on ITH!! any tips or fun stuff i should know/think about?
Congratulations on the part!!!! I imagine that playing Carla would be really fun so I’m excited for you :)
As for tips, I’m not really an expert in this area, but I’ll try.
I guess just remember to play her caring side as well as her comedic side. Some people who play Carla only emphasis on her being a bit of an airhead, but they don’t portray her love for her community. All of her lines and advice, useful or not, come from a place of love and that should be acknowledged.
Anyway, I’m sure you’ll do amazing and good luck!!!

On this Happy New Year’s Eve,
DON’T picture Usnavi sitting inside.
DON’T picture the young boy, sitting at his window, watching the fireworks.
DON’T picture him wondering when his parents are coming back.
And DEFINITELY DONT picture hot tears streaking his face because he knows they aren’t ever coming back.
People dance in the street and there are cheers bringing in the new year and Usnavi sits alone because he’s starting the new year with no parents.

Usnavi was a theatre kid
I can see it. I bet he freestyle rapped for ALL his auditions. He probably was also type cast as the comic relief character like ALL THE TIME while Benny, Lincoln, and Nina got all the leads XD

If nothing else convinces you to appreciate In the Heights, just know this cast was a real family. Not just on stage but when the house lights came up, when the costumes came off and when they hung up their mics. 
They were a family.

I would like to thank Quiara Alegría Hudes and Lin-Manuel Miranda and all the other artists who poured a little bit of their soul into the making and perfecting of In the Heights. It opened 10 years ago and yet it feels just as strikingly relevant today. It’s a story with so much heart and talent and it means everything to a lot of people, myself included.

“So you have… I mean, boys and girls?”
“Yes, Carla, I have,” she says, easy as that, “I’m bi.”
“I…” Carla loses her words but finds them again before Vanessa can tell her to be done with it. “Me too. I think me too. I mean, not boys. But… but girls…”
It takes Vanessa a couple seconds to process Carla’s broken confession, seconds which seem pure hell to poor little Carla, a deep shameful frown on her face as if she’d just admitted to murder.
Vanessa teaches Carla the sapphic arts. Please leave a comment and reblog if you’ve read this, this is how fanfiction writers get any motivation to keep writing.

In The Heights lines that make me feel emotions
- as I say these words my heart’s about to break
- I’m going down to west 4th street, you can take the A
- you get everyone addicted to your coffee and off you go
- press through the mess, bounce checks, and wonder what’s next
- do you want to waste it when the end is so close you can taste it?
- the standard reply, lots of tests, lots of papers
