Yesterday, January 25th, Corbin Bleu debuted in the Broadway musical show “In The Heights.”

In the video above you can check out an interview with Corbin Bleu from MTV as well as get a sneak peek of his rapping during the performance.

Corbin said during the interview:

“I play a character named Usnavi, who is the local bodega owner. So it’s the hub of the entire community. He is faced with thinking, ‘Is this what I really want — the monotony of life?’ But in the end, he realizes he has a wonderful life.”

“The music in it and the dancing isn’t something you get to see a lot on Broadway. [Usnavi] raps. He also is the narrator, and throughout the whole time, he [narrates] through rapping off the top of his head. He’s a total dork. He doesn’t really know how to dance. He’s not very smooth when it comes to the ladies. There’s a certain honesty to him.”

“Honestly, the music itself gives way to the rapping. That was something that came pretty easily, ’cause I’ve always been about rhythm. I grew up salsa dancing. I grew up dancing, period. That part of it came naturally.”

“I grew up in Brooklyn around all Dominicans and Puerto Ricans, so we were the only Italians on the block. I grew up eating [the cuisine]. I grew up with these characters, so it’s a very real thing for me. I don’t think there could be a better show to make a Broadway debut in than ‘In the Heights.’”
