Auditions Announced for In The Heights

IN THE HEIGHTS

Music and Lyrics By Lin-Manuel MirandaBook By Quiara Alegría HudesConceived By Lin-Manuel Miranda

From the creator of Hamilton, In the Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood – 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.
