In The Heights at Count Basie Theatre

Why see In The Heights?

From the Creator of Hamilton

Before Hamilton took over the world there was In the Heights! Lin-Manuel Miranda's exuberant portrait of Manhattan's Latino community on the island's Washington Heights was a sensational blockbuster show in its own right, picking up four Tony Awards and earning Miranda his first nomination for the Pulitzer Prize. Don't miss this local production of In The Heights!

The story is set in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in a blistering hot summer. We follows a cast of characters from three generations, all of whom have a different relationship to heritage and contrasting feelings about the changes engulfing the neighborhood. With its score incorporating rap, salsa and Sondheim, In the Heights is a dazzling display of Miranda's songwriting talents, and dynamic portrait of a community not often given a voice on the musical theatre stage.

See What you can do about it

Let me begin that the City of New York is raving about this show. As a fellow minority, I wish the prices of this show wasnt so expensive. I want to so much take my husband and family. My husband that has been serving in the military just returned from a tour in Iraq. I wanted to take him for which he has been wanting to attend this show. I know it would take him back to his Puerto Rican roots. So let us know if there are any military specials. Im there in a heart beat! ... Read more
