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

Amazing Play
As an individual who had not seen the film "In the Heights," I was unsure of what to anticipate from the play. To begin with, the entire ensemble was phenomenal; however, three members in particular stood out to me. Sonny was the first member of the ensemble who, in my opinion, stole the show. He was extremely affable and seized his role with both hands. Took me by surprise with laughter. Daniela and Karla were the other two individuals who stood out. The women also delivered outstanding performances in their respective roles. Praises to the San Bernardino Theatre for consistently providing the Inland Empire with exceptional theatrical productions. You have my continued support and my gratitude for this program. Now I must watch the movie since I have been informed that Sonny, whom I saw in the play, did an excellent job playing the character of Sonny on screen. ... Read more
