Editorial Reviews

In The Heights has an infectious score, joyous choreography, and the inspiriting flavor of a morning pick-me-up on a warm summer day. You can't take your eyes off the performers, and you don't want to.

New York Times

A modern-day immigrant tale fueled by an exuberant mix of hip-hop, salsa and good old-fashioned Broadway belting and energetic, effortless performances by the talented cast. Heights is worth the trip!

Entertainment Weekly

Exuberant, sexy and hilarious, bursting with vitality and freshness.

New York Post

A love letter to Washington Heights, the upper Manhattan neighborhood in which a diverse Latino community is invited to take an extended bow, ?In the Heights? mixes salsa, hip-hop and " American Idol"-ized show tunes into a package that's meant to leave everyone feeling happy and full.

Los Angeles Times - Charles McNulty

There's a lively block party going on...and you would be foolish to turn down an invitation. An affectionate protrait of a neighborhood and the people who call it home, with a flavorful, intriguing score, rousing coreography and such a talented cast.

The Associated Press

Boisterous and all but irresistible, a vibrant and tuneful celebration of community. There's heat and heart and hope in its rambunctious soul.

New York Sun

In The Heights has sharp comedy, dances that feel like they really might have come off the street, a rich and kaleidoscopic score, and some of the best lyrics that New York has heard from a young songwriter since Avenue Q.

New York Magazine

So fresh! Spirited and sexy. Musical theater welcomes a dynamic new talent in the gifted Lin-Manuel Miranda. A refreshing and sincere depiction of the struggle to make an honest living and remain true to one's roots.
