RetroVision Media Reviews And Recommends In The Heights

Do you like your rap rhythm and rhyme with a Latin twist?
Do you know what an around the way girl is?
Do you connect with your neighborhood?
Do you enjoy a good love story?
Do you salsa?
Well, do you?
Do you want to?

For those answering in the affirmative, we recommend you hustle over to the Richard Rogers Theatre and catch Lin-Manual Miranda’s Broadway hit musical, In the Heights directed by Thomas Kail.

This Off-Broadway success found itself delighting an appreciative audience, packing the house and garnering a standing ovation Thursday evening past on the big stage.

Lin- Manual Miranda’s weaves two Latin love stories of upper-upper Manhattan with a blend of cultural pride that inspires the viewer to embrace all that is common among us all; the need for acceptance, friendship, loyalty and understanding. In the Heights is a beautiful tale of the around the way experience that is nearly thrown away for the dreams of greener grasses. This is highly recommended theater Click here for the complete podcast review.
