In the Heights is a vibrant musical bursting with salsa, merengue, and hip-hop rhythms, transporting you to the heart of Washington Heights, a predominantly Dominican neighborhood in New York City. The story follows Usnavi, a bodega owner pining for a better life and harboring a secret crush on Vanessa, a local beauty about to leave for college. As a summer heat wave blankets the neighborhood, tensions simmer alongside dreams of escaping the familiar for a brighter future. Usnavi grapples with a potentially life-changing lottery ticket, while other characters face their own challenges - a failing car service business, forbidden love, and the struggle to preserve cultural heritage. In the Heights is a celebration of community, chasing dreams, and the bittersweet beauty of change.

The off-Broadway production received critical acclaim, earning nine Drama Desk Award nominations and winning two, including Outstanding Musical. The show's success continued on Broadway, where it truly soared. In the Heights raked in thirteen Tony Award nominations, the most for any production that year, and ultimately won four prestigious awards, including the coveted Best Musical trophy.

What is the history of North Carolina Theatre ?

The Theatre debuted with the musical Camelot in May of 1984. It starred Terrence Mann as King Arthur and Sharon Lawrence as Guinevere. Mann, a graduate of the UNC School of the Arts, has played Javert in Les Miserables, The Beast in Beauty and the Beast, Chauvelin in Scarlet Pimpernel and Rum Tum Tugger in Cats on Broadway. Lawrence, a University of North Carolina student, found fame as Sylvia Sipowicz on NYPD Blue, Velma Kelly in Chicago and countless other roles on TV, stage and film. The successful formula of producing top quality musicals with top national performers and local talent was inaugurated. Opening with 825 season tickets sold and a total audience of 24,000, Camelot marked the beginning of the Theatre's new direction. With this new direction as inspiration, the name was changed to North Carolina Theatre.
