"IN THE HEIGHTS" IS NOW PLAYING ON BROADWAY!!!
IN THE HEIGHTS is a new musical about three days in the life of Washington Heights, a vibrant and tight knit community at the top of the island of Manhattan. It’s a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open, and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. Find out what it takes to make a living, what it costs to have a dream, and what it means to be home.
"A singing mural of Latin-American life with an INFECTIOUS SCORE, JOYOUS CHOREOGRAPHY and the inspiriting flavor of a morning pick-me-up on a warm summer day. YOU CAN’T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE PERFORMERS, AND YOU WON’T WANT TO." -Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
