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.

Just as Alive as Breadway's Stage
I was so anxious to see the show and songs on the live stage once again. I was so impressed with the layout of the theater and acoustics, regardless of where your seats are. (Surprisingly enough, the further up I imagine the dance numbers were more powerful!) The story line is forever fond of family values, cultural strides, and the anticipated love story. ... Read more

I can't begin to tell you how much we enjoyed this production. I had no idea what the story line was about prior to coming to the show. This cast is extraordinary, one more talented than the next. If there is one drawback, however slight, is that we felt the orchestra was a little too loud in some scenes, and we say this only because you couldn't hear the actors above the score. Either way, it is certainly worth seeing. The music, acting, set design and choreography were terrific and will certainly keep us returning to the Paramount in the future. ... Read more
