Watch Lin-Manuel Miranda and original cast members of “In The Heights” sing some of the dozens of songs that Miranda wrote, but left out of, the Tony-winning Broadway musical, during the 10th year reunion of the show at BroadwayCon 2018.

Joining Miranda in the panel were book writer Quiara A. Hudes, and performers (listing them alphabetically) Janet Dacal (Carla), Mandy Gonzalez (Nina), Christopher Jackson (Benny), Patricia Lopez (Camila) Olga Merediz (Abuela Claudia), Javier Munoz (ensemble, then Usnavi) Karen Olivo (Vanessa) and Seth Stewart (Graffiti Pete.) The moderator as Luis Miranda, Lin-Manuel’s father.
