In the Heights at Center Repertory Company

Center Repertory Company kicks off the summer with Lin-Manuel Miranda and Quiara Alegria Hudes’ exuberant Tony Award-winning Broadway musical “In the Heights.” From the creator of “Hamilton” comes the jubilant story of 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. Bursting with hopes, a cast of diverse characters pursue the American dream while they struggle to decide which traditions – they should keep alive, and which can be left behind. This joyous musical full of electric choreography features an ebullient score melding hip-hop, salsa, merengue, and soul music. Directed by Nicholas C. Avila with musical direction by Nick Perez and choreography by Sara Templeton.
