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.
IN THE HEIGHTS opened on Broadway to wide
critical acclaim March 9, 2008. The
Washington Post said IN THE HEIGHTS is
“PURE BROADWAY. AN
EVENING OF OLD-STYLE, INNOCENT PLEASURE”
and Ben Brantley of The New York Times
enthused IN THE HEIGHTS is “AN EXUBERANT,
ANIMATED SHRINE TO THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY
TIES AND BEING FAITHFUL TO WHERE YOU COME
FROM.” IN THE HEIGHTS continues to play
on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.
In addition to winning the 2008 Tony Award
for Best Musical, Lin-Manuel Miranda, the
show’s creator, won the Tony Award for Best
Music and Lyrics, Andy Blankenbuehler won
for Best Choreography, and Alex Lacamoire
and Bill Sherman won for Best
Orchestrations. The original cast recording
won the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Musical
Show Album, and
Universal Pictures has acquired the rights
to produce a feature film based on the smash
hit musical.
