In The Heights

In The Heights at Signature Theater

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. 

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.

Immerse yourself in NYC while sitting in NOVA

From the moment you walk into the theatre, you are surrounded by the sights of NYC from the subway signs to the store signs. The stage runs directly through the middle of the room allowing for the cast to enter and exit from all corners of the room, making the audience feel like they are just leaning out of their apartment window catching glimpses of the life on the street. The excellent performances and songs keep the show moving from beginning to end. Don't miss this show! ... Read more
