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.
In the Heights
comes to Broadway after a successful run at off-Broadway's
37 Arts. It was nominated for the 2007 Drama Desk Awards
for Outstanding Music and Outstanding Lyrics and won the
2007 Outer Critics Circle and Lucille Lortel Awards for
Outstanding Musical.
From the same
producers who brought us Rent and Avenue Q, and created
by a team of New York's freshest young talents, In the
Heights is the hip, modern and completely unique tale
of a community at a crossroads.
