BWW Reviews: Go IN THE HEIGHTS For a Unique Musical Experience & Journey of Spirit
by Kara Pohlkamp - Apr 7, 2010
In the Heights, now playing at the Hobby Center, is an energetic portrayal of the residents of a New York City barrio whose dreams are seemingly bigger than their means. Once they learn to put their trust in each other, they find the ability to achieve their goals and that much of what they desire is closer than they think. This energetic production is perfect for anyone looking for something a little different and an ideal way to introduce a younger generation to musical theatre.

And, now, I am basking in 'the glow of the sheer theatricality and wonder' of that production.
