In the Heights - 2008 Broadway History , Info & More


Richard Rodgers Theatre (Broadway)
226 W. 46th St. New York, NY 10036

Winner of the 2008 Tony Award for Best Musical.



Welcome to the kind of musical that comes around once in a generation. A musical that builds on the best traditions of theater while forging into fresh new territory. A musical about the importance of home, family and finding where you belong.



IN THE HEIGHTS tells the universal story of a vibrant community in Manhattan's Washington Heights - a place 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. It's a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind.



Discover where you belong, at Broadway's new Tony Award-winning classic, IN THE HEIGHTS.
