On Friday, April 25, we were spellbound through the entire presentation - at least on a par with "Westside Story" and "Fiddler on the Roof."
The New York Times calls it, "A musical about chasing your dreams and finding your true home, with enough energy to light up the George Washington bridge!"
Writer/actor (singer/dancer/rapper) Lin-Manuel Miranda stopped for a picture after the performance of this top Broadway hit. What an extrodinarily talented cast of dancers and singers! One critic described "In the Heights" as "pure musical theater." We could easily seen it again - and probably will in the next year.
See a few video clips:

What a very cordial you man..and an extraordinary talent!

Well, this is one that I haven't heard of, let alone seen. Beverly and I will have to make a point of going to it when we're in NYC the next time--which won't be a couple years, at least. :)
Maybe we should go when Frank and I come, even though he claims to not be interested in seeing a broadway show. It sounds so good...and so cool you got to see the cast afterwards!
Nicole and Frank,
The deed is done! Your tickets are on their way for "In the Heights" Row A - right in front of the stage.
Hope none of those spirited dancers stumble an inch or they'll land in your lap!:-)
Love ya', Mom
Hey, this blog is so darn professional looking! Our trip pictures look great and make our visit look like a 10+ - which it was! I like this 21st century mode of journal keeping.....
We endorse "In the Heights" 110%!
Peggy and Gary
Speaking of "Heights"...it just got the most Tony Award nominations of any Broadway musical - Thirteen!
Guess I'll have to say "I told ya' so!"
