In the Heights - Official Site

"A MASTERPIECE. IN THE HEIGHTS has gotten EVEN BETTER. IT'S SEASONED TO PERFECTION. CORBIN BLEU is INSPIRED, WARM and CHARISMATIC. And ANDREA BURNS has the COMIC TIMING OF AN ATOMIC CLOCK."

"An IRRESISTIBLE fusion of SALSA, HIP-HOP, JAZZ, and good old-fashioned BROADWAY RAZZMATAZZ! CORBIN BLEU is so GOSH-DARN CHARMING. He sings, dances, and raps with ease."

"IN THE HEIGHTS remains an UPBEAT POWER SURGE of an urban folk tale about changing community in the mixed Latino grab bag in Washington Heights. CORBIN BLEU has an ENORMOUS SWEETNESS and CHARISMA as the poetic rapper who runs the bodega."

"A SINGULAR NEW SENSATION! WHEN THIS MUSICAL ERUPTS IN COLLECTIVE JOY, THE ENERGY IT GIVES OFF COULD LIGHT UP THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE FOR A YEAR OR TWO. The brightly glowing star of the show, and the writer of its ebullient songs, Lin-Manuel Miranda commands the spotlight as if he were born in the wings, tossing out rhymed verse like fistfuls of flowers. You might find yourself imagining that this young man is music personified. After all, THIS MUSICAL ABOUT CHASING YOUR DREAMS AND FINDING YOUR TRUE HOME IS MR. MIRANDA'S OWN DREAM COME TRUE. HE COULDN'T LOOK MORE AT HOME."

"A GROUNDBREAKING 21ST-CENTURY MUSICAL. This EXTRAORDINARY blend of old and new pushes the sound of Broadway even deeper into FRESH TERRITORY. It's one of THE MOST SATISFYING MUSICALS IN YEARS."

"THE FUTURE OF THE BROADWAY MUSICAL HAS BEEN RESTORED BY A SINGLE SHOW AND THE REMARKABLE YOUNG MAN WHO CREATED IT. It's a show for the ages -- all ages. At In the Heights, Broadway is transported north to a world full of energy and life. If you're inclined to see one show... make it this one. Make this one your first show if you haven't been. It's a great place to take a date and families will make memories together. There's MAGIC In the Heights."

"A BIG, PULSING POWER-SURGE OF A SHOW, igniting A NEW ENERGY SOURCE FOR MUSICAL THEATER. For all the FRESHNESS OF SOUND, the show stands firmly - even proudly - in the tradition of the theater. This upper 'West Side Story' has roots back to 'Fiddler on the Roof'."

"THIS TOWN JUST GOT A TINY BIT MORE WONDERFUL. In The Heights pulses to A JOYFUL NEW BEAT, and youthfulness has its advantages. LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA has turned this Upper Upper West Side story into a 'Carnaval del Barrio.' It made me think of a much earlier valentine to a New York neighborhood: 'Wonderful Town.' DEEPLY PLEASURABLE."

"One of the MOST POLISHED AND EXUBERANT MUSICALS NOW ON BROADWAY, WITH BURSTING ENERGY. A nonstop musical with enough dancing to wear out the choreographer, and songs that range from breathless compositions to lovely ballads. IF YOU HAVE ANY RHYTHM IN YOUR HEART, YOU SHOULDN'T MISS IT."

"'HEIGHTS' SOARS ON BROADWAY! I wouldn't have thought it possible, but it's EVEN MORE JOYOUS AND HIGH-SPIRITED than it was Off-Broadway. The show is a CELEBRATION, filled with love, loyalty and neighborliness, and flooded with waves of music. Lin-Manuel Miranda, the REMARKABLE young songwriter and star, PULLS OUT ALL THE STOPS."

"A DESTINATION WELL WORTH TRAVELING TO. JOYOUS, TANTALIZINGLY ATMOSPHERIC, WITH SEXY, HIP-SWAYING CHOREOGRAPHY and SPICE SWIRLING THROUGH ITS LIVELINESS."

"THE SHOW IS SO WINNING IN SO MANY WAYS! A DELICIOUS SCORE, DYNAMITE DANCING and a good-hearted story fuse into an EXUBERANT ENTERTAINMENT. THERE'S SIMPLY NO RESISTING THE RHYTHMIC APPEAL OF MIRANDA'S MUSIC, which vividly merges Latino spiciness with Broadway pizzazz. It has a GENERAL FEELING OF JOYFULNESS."

"AN INFECTIOUS CELEBRATION with a DYNAMIC, TOE-TAPPING SCORE, A TERRIFIC, TRULY WINNING CAST and SOME OF THE MOST SPIRITED DANCING ON BROADWAY! This BUOYANT MUSICAL also nods reverently to the traditions of the show tune." - David Rooney, Variety.

"In the Heights represents change on Broadway: It's contemporary, HEARTFELT and FULL OF HOPE."

"With youthful energy, street-savvy stylings and exuberant production numbers, In The Heights' greatest asset is its warm center. I dare you to resist the endearing characters."
