IN THE HEIGHTS
Director: Ben Tostado
Choreographer: Olivia Rivera
Music and Lyrics By Lin-Manuel Miranda
Book By Quiara Alegría Hudes
Conceived By Lin-Manuel Miranda
From the creator of Hamilton, In the Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood – 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. It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind.
