* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Mildly. While his film incarnation is still bitter towards the Mr. Softee guy, there's no hint that he resorted to VehicularSabotage over it like there is in most stage productions. We also ''see'' Mr. Softee in the movie, and he comes off as a SmugSnake, unlike the stage version who is never seen at all. Plus, in the last moments of the movie, the Piragua Guy offers Mr. Softee a free piragua, [[DefeatMeansFriendship suggesting the two might bury the hatchet]].
Added DiffLines:
* UnknownRival: Implied to be this to Mr. Softee, who never appears and may or may not even be aware of the Piragua Guy's existence. Averted in the movie, where Mr. Softee definitely knows and is pretty smug about taking all the customers.

* LovedByAll: Nina is beloved by her Latino Washington Heights community for her bright promise as a first-generation college student, so much so that her homecoming from college is anticipated by much of the neighborhood. This makes it even harder for her to admit that she had to drop out after she lost her scholarship, but is also what brings her back around by the end of the play. The only time anyone has anything truly unkind to say about Nina is when Benny drunkenly blames her for her father's actions, which he apologizes for after the blackout.

* EliteSchoolMeansEliteBrain: The play is set in a closely knit, middle-to-lower-class Latino community in New York. Nina is their [[TheOneWhoMadeItOut pride and joy]]--a smart girl who not only made it to college, but to ''Stanford University'' all the way across the country on partial scholarship. [[spoiler:It turns out that she cracked under the pressure of being TheOneWhoMadeItOut and the difficulties of being in college and dropped out, but is convinced to return]].

* OutOfCharacterMoment: While typically a kind and nonconfrontational fellow, he shows an abrasive side in the film's version of "Blackout" where he admonishes Vanessa for "shaking [her] ass for half of the Heights." However, he's also very drunk and emotionally overwhelmed in that scene, and he eventually reconciles with her.

* PetTheDog: During "When You're Home," Benny remembers when he was a kid, he'd bust open the fire hydrants, then inevitably get caught by the cops and have to run, and he'd end up at the Rosarios' dispatch and beg to be allowed to hide there. Kevin would be irritated and snide about it, but he always still let Benny in.
