In the Heights, written by Lin Manuel Miranda and presented by Throckmorton Youth Performers, tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood. Usnavi, a first generation Dominican-American storeowner watches the joys and heartbreaks of his tight-knit community as they pass through his bodega. As one family struggles to figure out how to pay for an Ivy League tuition for their brilliant and hardworking daughter, a young woman is trying to put a down payment on a new apartment; and Usnavi himself is trying to get back to the Dominican Republic to reconnect with his roots after the death of his parents.
This revolutionary, Tony award-winning musical combines Latin rhythms and dance with hip-hop lyrics to tell a captivating story about hope in times of adversity and the importance of community.
