Musical Stars Do Hip Hop
Cast members from the Tony Award winning musical ‘In the Heights’ Kyle Beltran, Karen Olivo and Lin-Manuel Miranda sang their own rendition of Jay-Z’s hit song ‘Run this Town’ featuring Rihanna and Kanye West. The video is a creative introduction for the first national tour cast of ‘In the Heights’ which kicks off on Tuesday, October 27 at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center in Tampa, Florida. Thanks to the TV show ‘Glee’, musical stars doing covers of mainstream music seems to be a growing trend. I like their versions though and sometimes even better than I like the originals.
