SHOW NOTES
Jimi apologises for talking about his production of ‘In the Heights’ so much but hey, if you’re interested, check out the trailer for it!
Lin-Manuel has done his usual malarkey and uploaded some of his tracks from the cutting room floor onto his Soundcloud including a cut song for Camila!
There is a fantastic documentary from PBS Great Performancesabout ‘In the Heights’ that you really need to check out and has supplied Jimi with one of his favourite quotes - ‘Dreams come true, bitches!’
Is this video a glimpse into the future once the amateur rights for ‘Hamilton’ drop? Probably. As sad as that is…
Get on over to Reddit and tell us what you think about the whole race conflama, cause we certainly don’t have an answer! Is as diverse as possible okay for a show like Heights? Or is it just the exact same as casting a show like 'Scottsboro Boys?' Let us know!

Also this is one of Jimi’s first exposures to ‘In the Heights.’ It explains a lot.
