Now
featuring 2007 American Idol Winner JORDIN SPARKS
as Nina Rosario through November 14, 2010!
WELCOME to the show that won Broadway's highest honors by first winning its
heart. WELCOME to the next chapter in the classic American story on stage. WELCOME
to the kind of musical that comes around once in a generation. A musical that
builds on the best traditions of theater while forging into fresh new territory.
A musical about the importance of home, family and finding where you belong.
IN THE HEIGHTS tells the universal story of a vibrant
community in Manhattan's Washington Heights - 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. It's a community on the brink
of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles
can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave
behind.
Welcome back the warm weather
with the IN THE HEIGHTS BALCONY EXPERIENCE!
The balcony at the Rodgers offers a unique New York experience by setting your
event on the theatre's marquee, providing exciting vistas of New York's Times
Square and the Theatre District. The many benefits you will enjoy include early
access to the theatre, private space for your event, personalized bar service
and Dean & Deluca's fine catering.
The IN THE HEIGHTS BALCONY EXPERIENCE
is ideal for everything from corporate receptions to birthday parties and more!
“When
this musical erupts in one of its expressions of collective joy, the energy
it gives off could light up the George Washington Bridge for a year or two.
The title song, for instance, is among the most galvanizing opening numbers
in recent Broadway memory.”
--
Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
