YouTubery

So I've mentioned it before, but I've got a theater-crush on In the Heights, which won the Tony award for best musical. It's a slice of life in Washington Heights, featuring really terrific lyrics and rap, and musica latina. I found their Tony performance on YouTube.

And today I found out that the lyricist/writer/star (Lin Manuel Miranda) has a YouTube page. He did a bunch of viral videos to promote the show, and I really enjoyed them, too.

Miranda at eight, lip-syncing to "Wishful Thinking"

Miranda mocking High School Musical 2
... and it'll probably only be funny to you if you've watched it.

Miranda freestyling, responding to critics who think his portrayal of the latino community is whitewashed.
