One day after the groundbreaking Broadway musical "In the Heights" received 13 Tony nominations, its young, bicultural cast opened Univision's upfront. You could not help but be riveted as they performed and proved why the show is so caliente.

Then lead character Usnavi (Javier Munos), who explained how his father gave him his moniker when he passed a U.S. Navy ship on the way to America, took over as host.

"Have you seen the cast of 'In the Heights?'" he asked the audience, referring to their different races and varying Latino cultural backgrounds.

"You're looking at the future of the U.S. ...Ignore us and our increasingly fat wallets at your peril."
