Check out the new musical In the Heights by writer Lin-Manuel Miranda. The mesmerizing musical score is brilliantly delivered, but don’t take our word for it just stop by the production’s myspace page and listen to “It Won’t be Long Now.”
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.
Charles Isherwood of The New York Times calls it, “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.”
In the Heights is playing at the 37 Arts Theatre. For more information, visit the production website.
