In The Heights
A local production of Lin-Manuel Miranda's exuberant Latino musical!
Why see In The Heights?
From the Creator of Hamilton
Before Hamilton took over the world there was In the Heights! Lin-Manuel Miranda's exuberant portrait of Manhattan's Latino community on the island's Washington Heights was a sensational blockbuster show in its own right, picking up four Tony Awards and earning Miranda his first nomination for the Pulitzer Prize. Don't miss this local production of In The Heights!
The story is set in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in a blistering hot summer. We follows a cast of characters from three generations, all of whom have a different relationship to heritage and contrasting feelings about the changes engulfing the neighborhood. With its score incorporating rap, salsa and Sondheim, In the Heights is a dazzling display of Miranda's songwriting talents, and dynamic portrait of a community not often given a voice on the musical theatre stage.

Excellent family entertainment
The actors are talented and he story line is entertaining. Perhaps it's changed since the 2008 review, but had no problem understaning the diaglog. Took our 14 and 15 year old daughters and they also loved it. The mix of salsa and rap was outstanding...this from a middle-aged white guy. Would highly recommend it!!! ... Read more
