(Applause Libretto Library). Music and Lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda,
Book by Quiara Alegria Hudes. Conceived by Lin-Manuel Miranda, In the
Heights is an exciting musical about life in Washington Heights, a
tight-knit community 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. During its acclaimed Off-Broadway
and Broadway runs and now a hit movie musical, In the Heights became an
audience phenomenon and a critical success. It's easy to see why: with
an amazing cast, a gripping story, and incredible dancing, In the
Heights is an authentic and exhilarating journey into one of Manhattan's
most vibrant communities. And with its universal themes of family,
community, and self-discovery, In the Heights can be enjoyed by people
of all ages and backgrounds. Among the musical's many accolades are two
Drama Desk Awards, a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album, and a
nomination for the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Find out what it takes
to make a living, what it costs to have a dream, and what it means to be
home... In the Heights.
