The Downtown Cabaret Theatre (DCT), under the leadership of Executive Producer Hugh Hallinan, is excited to announce their highly anticipated production of In The Heights opening Friday, November 1, 2024. Created by Lin Manuel Miranda, also known for the smash hit Hamilton, In The Heights is the winner of multiple Tony Awards, including the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2008.
In the vibrant New York City neighborhood of Washington Heights, bodega owner Usnavi and his friends dream, hope and work for a bright future. In the Heights tells the universal story of community – 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.
DCT's production runs from November 1 to November 24, 2024 with performances on Fridays at 7:30 PM, Saturdays at 3:30 PM and 7:30 PM, and Sundays at 3:30 PM.
The principal cast includes Manny Gonzalez as Usnavi, Olivia Rivera as Nina Rosario, Juliana Rivera as Vanessa, and Everton Ricketts as Benny. They are joined by Cintia Maio (Camila Rosario), Martin Garcia (Kevin Rosario), Nick Nuñez (Sonny), Heather Abrado (Daniela), Karina Brea (Carla), Jane Prieto (Abuela Claudia) Jose Albino (Graffiti Pete) and Jay Reyes (Piragua Guy). Along with a talented ensemble cast, Ana Rosa Sforza, Kelsey Senteio, Zully Ramos, Ness Baracui, Monique Castillo and Brenden Martinez these actors will bring the life and passion of Washington Heights to Brideport, CT.
