The Who's Who: Cast of Characters

Usnavi (Anthony Ramos) → moved to New York City with his parents at the age of 8; has lived with Abuela Claudia since the death of his parents; runs a bodega in Washington Heights, but dreams of moving back to the Dominican Republic to restore his late father’s bar; has a huge crush on Vanessa

Abuela Claudia (Olga Merediz) → never had children of her own, but becomes the matriarch of the entire block

Kevin Rosario (Jimmy Smits) → owner of the local cab company, Rosario’s Car Service; everything he does is for the benefit of his daughter, Nina – even if it means selling his business

Nina Rosario (Leslie Grace) → the first of the Rosario family to attend college; feels overwhelming pressure from her family and the community to succeed; her experiences at Stanford leave her questioning whether she wants to continue her education there at all; like a sister to Usnavi

Benny (Corey Hawkins) → runs dispatch at Rosario’s Car Service; broke up with Nina before she left for Stanford because he didn’t want to stand in the way of her success; heads back to work in the middle of the blackout after seeing the way the community is struggling

Vanessa (Melissa Barrera) → works at Daniela’s salon, but dreams of leaving Washington Heights to become a successful fashion designer; despite saving up money to move to a new apartment downtown, she is unable to do so without a cosigner; doesn't make her feelings for Usnavi clear until the day before he's set to leave

Sonny (Gregory Diaz IV) → works at the bodega with his cousin, Usnavi; his undocumented status crushes his dream of attending college one day

Daniela (Daphne Rubin-Vega) → owner of a Washington Heights salon that has been priced out of the neighborhood

Carla and Cuca (Stephanie Beatriz and Dascha Polanco)→ work at Daniela’s salon; always know the local gossip and share it with their clients

Alejandro (Mateo Gómez) → a lawyer who helps Usnavi buy back his father’s bar in the Dominican Republic, as well as begin the application process for Sonny to become a US citizen

Graffiti Pete (Noah Catala) → instrumental in breaking Vanessa’s creative rut and in inspiring Usnavi to stay in Washington Heights

Piraguero (Lin-Manuel Miranda) → sells piragua in Washington Heights, but finds himself in competition with a Mr. Softee vendor

They're sketchy but they're here!! Couples costumes are serious business in the barrio 🎃

[ID: three drawings of couples from 'In The Heights' dressed in coordinating costumes for Halloween. The first is Vanessa and Usnavi as Gomez and Morticia Adams: Usnavi is bent over as if about to kiss Vanessa's hand, smiling up at her, and partially obscured text behind them reads 'Cara Mia'. The second is Benny and Nina as Bert and Mary Poppins, specifically in their 'jolly holiday' outfits. Nina is laughing and holding Benny's arm, and text behind them reads 'Jolly Holiday'. The third is Sonny and Graffiti Pete as Sans and Komeda. They are dancing beside a boombox, grinning at the camera. Text behind them reads "Fingers In H-" (The end is obscured). End ID]

While watching In the Heights, I was under the assumption Sonny and Graffiti Pete were boyfriends - so when Sonny's verse in 'Carnaval del Barrio' started I was surprised that he had a crush on Nina

#in the heights #sonny x graffiti pete #like it just made sense?? #since they didnt show what happened to sonny in the time skip I'll assume they did get together lol

[ith-correctnt-quotes]

Sonny: When I was small-

Pete: *laughs*

Sonny: ...What?

Pete: “Was.”

Sorry but some of y'all act like Sonny de la Vega would not be a king at lip syncing and that graffiti Pete wouldn't find it hilarious. Like, you really think he wouldn't preform his favorite music video? Dance moves and everything?

How do you imagine Pete and Sonny’s first date went out?

I think they just did something simple, like a movie and/or a dinner date at a restaurant. They didn’t do anything fancy until Usnavi knew he could trust them with curfews and such

Things I loved about In the Heights

-The sounds of the city are part of the music of the opening song

-The frame story is the only way this story should be told; the story only works if it shows the results of Usnavi's decision to stay

-Anthony and Lin shaking hands

-Yay to random mixed race couple asking for directions

-“I hope you’re writing this down I’m gonna test you later” only makes sense with kids

-Showing different residents of Washington Heights provides scale

-I’m not sure about the decision to cut Camila, but if it means less Nina drama, then I love it

-I love how Usnavi has his friends’ orders all ready to go

-LOVE how Usnavi announces Benny’s entrance

-Everything about Vanessa in this movie is perfect=> she’s given so much more depth, her beauty is downplayed, she’s kind of a nerd, but has a beautiful smile

-Nina’s heels=> metaphor for her reaching for the stars

-I love the actress that plays Nina; she’s the right age and her singing voice is so sweet

-Nina’s hair is straight when she’s at school; as soon as she comes home, it’s curly=>she can be herself at home

-When Nina turns around and sees the crowd of people counting on her=> I felt that

-I love seeing Nina get her acceptance letter; I remember what that was like for my brother

-Camila must have died while Nina was at college in this version; Nina lost her mother recently which helps explain her different reason for dropping out; she feels lost

-I don’t know why Sonny is using this deep voice, but I love it!

-Whoever decided to have 96,000 take place at the pool is a genius

-The graphics at the beginning of 96,000 are good for helping regular people understand the rap

-Pete just put his arm around Sonny=> are they dating?

-Sonny yelling 96,000 as he enters the pool=> the sound design

-Pete nodding along to Usnavi=> sucking up to the family

-Usnavi is such a proud cousin-uncle during Sonny’s part in 96,000

-Vanessa making her “I'll be downtown” walk down a ramp

-The dancer doing flips is now a diver doing spins into the pool

-On stage, the lighting was dark; in the movie, it’s underwater

-The circles of people in the pool reflect the zeros in 96,000

-Lin and Chris being rivals is perfect; their bromance is everything

-Nina and Benny being together before the events of the movie means they are the beta couple and have less drama than Usnavi/Vanessa which is how it should be

-Benny joins in during “on that fire escape”=> like West Side Story

-Benny’s “Let me in” against the fence is hilarious

-Nina and Benny are FUN, not angsty like in the original

-Nina following the little girl=> following herself, following her dreams which eventually lead her to the sea; all of this is done while she’s talking about her past

-Nina and Benny instrumental™ part 1 in the middle of “When You’re Home”, Benny interrupts=> their story isn't complete yet

-Benny says he believes in her without discounting her feelings

-Everyone loving Nina=> I finally get it

-Nina is home geographically and with people who love her

-Benny is Nina’s home

-In the Heights is about how dreams are great, but the life you have now can be so beautiful

-Nina’s hair during the dinner/club scene is great

-Usnavi is wearing his dad’s hat for his date with Vanessa; he knows that she is to him what his mom was for his dad

-Family dinners are the same in every culture

-Awkwardness of long-time friends going on a date

-Vanessa offers Usnavi his first drink of the night; he thinks that’s what she wants; because why would she want him and only him?

-Usnavi whispering in Vanessa’s ear is so sexy

-Love that Benny is on Nina’s side instead of being mad at her

-I wonder if they thought 5 years of Benny working for Kevin was too much or too little since they changed that line to "all these years"

-Benny’s reactions to Vanessa dancing at the club are hilarious

-Vanessa laughing at Usnavi dancing with someone else

-Nina is always smiling and laughing at the things going on around her; not as self centered

-Nina and Benny dancing at the club=> all of the yeses

-Usnavi is too nervous about being alone with Vanessa that he un-dated himself; he wasn’t quite ready

-Love that they consciously cut all the “Usnavi, help me” parts=> Vanessa is not a victim

-Fireworks are a romantic setting for Sonny and Pete, just saying

-Usnavi/Benny/Nina talking about the fourth member of their square gives me feelings; I need more of these four in fanfic, my dreams

-“I got to wait for Vanessa”=> the stuff dreams are made of

-Benny is such a good person; he’s even better than the original which is what he deserves

-Usnavi is relieved to have Vanessa call his name

-“Don’t walk away from us tonight”=> great addition

-To give Usnavi and Vanessa some of Nina and Benny’s original lines is to see the face of God

-The first time I saw this, I’m ashamed to admit, I thought Benny was going to steal money from the dispatch; I was a fool

-Dancer with fireworks on his shoes

-Benny is smart and good; he isn’t doing this for Kevin or Nina but for the people of New York

-Abuela was able to see stars again on the last night of her life

-I’m sad Blackout isn’t exactly the same but the orchestral parts that cover up what is unsaid is so beautiful it makes up for it

-Abuela’s family is her “fireworks”; they are what light up the Heights

-Sonny came to Usnavi instead of being with his dad during the blackout; his real family

-Abuela’s smile as she looks at her family while reflecting on her childhood is the most beautiful thing there will ever be

-Paciencia y Fe as a dream sequence is how it was meant to be

-The transition on the subway from reality to memory

-Paciencia y Fe is a mixture of cultures; like Abuela’s memories

-“Wide awake”=> stepping off the subway

-The same actress played Abuela on Broadway and in the movie

-Abuela may be in a musical, but she’s still an old woman

-“As I feed these birds”=> back to the present

-Calor means heat in Spanish but in English it sounds like color

-Abuela dying during the night of the blackout is perfect

-Usnavi saying “she was just here” twice: when she was literally just there and many years, maybe a decade, after the fact

-Usnavi’s daughter is the life that goes on after Abuela is gone

-Usnavi and Nina crying together

-Those closest to Abuela are inside and everyone else is outside

-Iris was sitting on the outside and now she’s in the middle; needed comfort from her friends

-“Should we take a break?”=> we’re past the point of an intermission

-“No daddy, keep going”=> does this look like a stage production to you? It’s a fucking movie

-There isn’t a clear point for an intermission; the action stays strong over where the intermission should be; this is a movie, not a play, and movies don’t have intermissions

-Everyone’s holding candles; like the stars Abuela loved so much

-Iris called Usnavi Daddy for the first time because that was the point in the story where he needed to hear that the most

-“I thought about the people I care about the most, I thought about you”

-Anthony makes Usnavi sexy in a way Lin never could

-So many people love Vanessa, but no one better than Usnavi

-Abuela paid to have Camila's napkins cleaned after all

-Daniela’s first effect being on a woman whose hair is terrible

-Carla pushing that man away from her woman with a bullshit excuse

-My friend was laughing at the parts that were meant to be jokes

-Usnavi’s entrance being announced in Carnaval del Barrio; just like Benny in the opening song

-“There’s nothing holding me down”=> assuming he was rejected

-The different communities dancing with their flags

-Nina being part of Carnaval del Barrio is great

-Even Kevin, kind of an old man, can get down

-Since Nina and Benny sex scene wasn’t shown on screen (praise Jesus), I have to assume Nina told Daniela even though she knows she’s a huge gossip

-Everyone stops because Sonny, a kid, starts singing

-Vanessa and Sonny are so powerful together

-Vanessa’s hand on Sonny’s shoulder

-A kid providing Usnavi with the “flag I’ve got in my hand”

-Usnavi and Vanessa dancing together is muy romantico

-Everything about Nina’s appearance in “When the Sun Goes Down”

-“Let me just listen to my block”=> peak Nina

-Abuela wrote “for Usnavi” on her lotto ticket 😭

-Vanessa and Pete friendship for the win

-“Best days of my life” is said thrice=> good things come in threes

-Usnavi staring at the room where Vanessa kissed him

-Iris knows he stayed; she loves her dad so much

-Usnavi looking out his window in Washington Heights and seeing his friends on his dad’s beach

-Iris understanding all of the little details of her father’s store now that she knows his story

-Iris is the goddess of the rainbow like the light that appears when water appears on a sunlit day

-“Man, you talk forever”=> that’s so “How I Met Your Mother”

-Iris has a necklace of seashells, like the islands

-Vanessa would sooner get wet than let go of Usnavi’s hand

Sonny: Pete I’m sorry.

Sonny: Please talk to me.

Sonny: Muffin?

Sonny: Sweet pea?

Sonny: World’s prettiest thug?

Sonny: Beautiful cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure?

Pete: Sorry doesn’t bring back my fucking skittles, Sonny.

Hey so I saw a headcanon in the ith discord and i liked it but I wanted to tweak it. Sofi, if you see this post please comment on it so I can give you the credit. I couldn't find your Tumblr. But I digress.

So apparently in all different types of Spanish's (because yes, even though Hispanics speak Spanish it's a different type than Spanish everybody else's.) Light blue is Celeste, except for Dominican Spanish. so naturally, this would lead to some arguments happening in the barrio. specifically, usnavi picking fights on those who don't say it the way he does. Enter, graffiti Pete. So one day Petes talking to Sonny. And I imagined this happened way before the events of in the heights.

Pete to Sonny: "man, I was at the store and I saw this wicked shade of Celeste. When I get some money, that spray can is mine. I kid you not, it must have been one of the most beautiful colors I've ever seen."

Usnavi: "Did you just call it, Celeste?" Pete: "Uh yeah? What else would you call it? And who are you?"

Usnavi: get out my store! And I better not see you again. cabrón.

And that's how usnavi's hatred for Pete began. And of course things just started piling up. Like Pete being a graffiti artist, him "vandalizing" public property, him being older than Sonny, him hang out with sonny, him being openly gay, him smoking, him being a "criminal", "Vandal", "low life", "Punk", "bad influence" etc. So their relationship just got worse over time. And so the whole barrio knows not to mention the word light blue in Spanish to usnavi unless you have a death wish. You thought playing Uno destroyed friendships and families? Ha! Try saying Celeste in front of Navi. Sometimes, Pete will say it on purpose just to piss Navi off. But over time, Sonny starts calling it Celeste too. Since literally the only person who doesn't say it that way is usnavi. (And maybe son's been "hanging out" with Pete a lot recently. Wink wink nudge nudge.)
