JAN. 19 - FEB. 17, 2019
Directed by MAY ADRALES

Lights up on the landmark musical that started it all for the creator of Hamilton! Set to a hip-hop and Latin-flavored score and featuring high-energy choreography, In the Heights captures the vibrant spirit of a tight-knit, New York community. From his Washington Heights bodega, Usnavi follows the nonstop rhythm of his friends and family as they navigate their hopes and dreams, loves and losses, fortunes and fates. Don’t miss Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway smash hit and winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical.

“The depth of feeling, together with the wit of Miranda's lyrics, the playful dexterity of his rhymes and his dynamic score … make the show an uncalculated charmer." — Variety

“When this musical erupts in one of its expressions of collective joy, the energy it gives off could light up the George Washington Bridge for a year or two.” — The New York Times 


ADVISORY: In the Heights is suitable for adults and teenage audiences. This Tony Award-winning musical is a celebration of community and family, but it also contains some strong adult language and sexual innuendo — often sung in catchy verse.

RUNNING TIME: The show runs approximately 2 hours and 26 minutes, including one intermission.
