Winner of the 2007 Outer Critics Circle Award and the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical, IN THE HEIGHTS is a new musical about three days in the life of Washington Heights, a vibrant and tight knit community at the top of the island of Manhattan. It's 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. Created by a team of New York's freshest young talents, IN THE HEIGHTS is the tale of a community at a crossroads. Find out what it takes to make a living, what it costs to have a dream, and what it means to be home IN THE HEIGHTS.

Please note the winner must be at least 21 years of age. Because most performances of IN THE HEIGHTS are sold out, the winner must have flexibility in determining the date of the walk-on, and it may not be possible to provide additional tickets if the winner would like more than a pair.
