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 is the winner of the 2008 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score, Best Choreography and Best Orchestrations.

"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."

Sandy Kenyon ABC-TV

"IN THE HEIGHTS is the WEST SIDE STORY for a new generation!"

Chicago Sun-Times

"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."

Jeremy McCarter New York Magazine

"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."

Elysa Gardner USA Today

"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."

David Richardson WOR Radio

"'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."

Robert Feldberg The Record

"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."

Richard Zoglin Time

"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."

Michael Sommers The Star-Ledger

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

Michael Kuchwara Associated Press

"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'."

Linda Winer Newsday

"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."

Eric Grode The New York Sun

An exuberant, animated shrine to the importance of family ties and being faithful to where you come from."

Ben Brantley The New York Times

Premiere Production: In 2008, In The Heights opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, where it ran for 1184 performances.
