IN THE HEIGHTS is going south! To South Korea that is, as Lin-Manuel Miranda and Quiara Alegría Hudes' Tony-winning musical prepares to open at Seoul's Blue Square Samsung Card Hall for a September 4th - November 11th run.

A recent press preview provided some fantastic videos of the Korean cast performing the translated score.

First, a look at the opening title song:

"When You're Home"

"Sunrise" and "96,000":

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 tradtions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind. IN THE HEIGHTS is the winner of the 2008 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score, Best Choreography and Best Orchestrations.
