Each day, the Bbox team trolls YouTube for the hot clip—sometimes it's a brand-new moment and sometimes it's a throwback to an oldie but goodie. No matter what praise hands are shot up, pearls are clutched and the repeat button is hit.
"Benny's Dispatch" from In The Heights (Christopher Jackson and Mandy Gonzalez)
Ulterior Motives: Your favorite taxi dispatcher in the Heights and Hamilton's George Washington, Christopher Jackson's awesome vocals can be dispatched to your living room next month! The Tony nominee is partnering with Dallas Summer Musicals for an interactive livestream concert on Saturday, August 15th at 7pm live from New World Stages in NYC. Christopher will be backed by a live band with a set list of tunes that are show, pop and original! Audiences can look forward to his Broadway anecdotes from Hamilton, In The Heights and Freestyle Love Supreme. According to their website, Dallas Summer Musicals' hope is "to spread the spirit of Broadway to North Texas audiences through artistry, educational programs and community outreach initiatives." What makes this concert unique is that audiences can text questions/requests in live! For more information, head over to the Dallas Summer Musicals' concert page.
Ultimate 🙌 🙌 moment: In The Heights was such a fabulous showcase for Christopher's gorgeous singing voice and his effortless rap prowess. Our ultimate moment has to be at 0:54-1:13 when he turned the energy up one afternoon in a bookstore like it was a Friday night with your friends on the dance floor. He is such a fantastic performer!
