About the Show

Harlem Repertory Theatre revives Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony Award-winning musical in an intimate and expressionistic new production.

In the neighborhood of Washington Heights, Usnavi is a bodega owner who looks after the aging Cuban lady next door, and pines for the gorgeous girl working in the neighboring beauty salon. He dreams of winning the lottery and escaping to the shores of his native Dominican Republic. Meanwhile, Nina, his childhood friend, has returned to the neighborhood from her first year at college with surprising news for her parents, who have spent their life savings on building a better life for their daughter. Ultimately, Usnavi and the residents of the close-knit neighborhood get a dose of what it means to be home.

Delightful, Entertaining

See it if you love shows by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Don't see it if you don't like shows by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Excruciating, Overrated, Disappointing

See it if you like a cast with great energy and a play with a great feel for the hood and it's characters.

Don't see it if You expect a Broadway like production with singing that's on key. This is really an amateur hour.

Absorbing, Enchanting, Great writing, Great staging, Disappointing singing

See it if You want a beautiful, heartfelt, energizing musical full of gorgeous songs and wonderful characters. You're interested in unusual staging.

Don't see it if You expect a professional production with great singers. It's an amateur production -- okay singers, questionable sound engineering

Entertaining, Spirited, Ambitious, Good effort, Inventive

See it if you've never seen In The Heights. The camaraderie of this cast is palpable & infectious. The evening isn't perfect but it's full of heart.

Don't see it if you're expecting Broadway quality. The set is very simple and the sound is unfortunately a little spotty, but you'll still get the gist.

Ambitious, Confusing, Edgy, Great writing, Intense

See it if It is your story.

Don't see it if You do not understand hip hop or have a connection to the story.
