IN THE HEIGHTS
Music & Lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda Book by Quiara Alegría Hudes
ORLANDO SHAKESPEARE THEATRE
SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2018
Despite the cool air inside Orlando Shakes, the heat of Washington Heights poured throughout the sold-out theatre on opening night of "In the Heights". The season opener for the newly rebranded theatre's 30th anniversary, packed an abundance of soaring melodies, energetic dance numbers and sweeping emotion into the two hour production. Orlando Shakes' take on the renowned, Tony-award winning Broadway production was beautifully displayed on-stage. - Broadway World
In the Heights” is pure joy to watch. In fact, the show’s warmth flows in every direction , radiating with love of family, love of one’s culture, love of the energy of New York City and most of all, a love of home. Director Nick DeGruccio expertly balances big and exuberant production numbers with smaller, emotional moments. He even manages to keep things from turning maudlin, a feat for a show that wears its heart on its sleeve so loudly and proudly. - Orlando Sentinel
