The show is directed by Bella Holland, music director Dauri Kennedy, band director Jay Real and choreographer Karyn Laver.
“In the Heights” is a musical with concept, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda and a book by Quiara Alegría Hudes.
The story is a romance as well as a celebration of community, culture and aspirations. It is set over the course of three days, involving characters in the largely Dominican American neighborhood of Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan, New York City. The score blends hip-hop, salsa, merengue and soul.
Performances will be 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8; 2 p.m. matinees on Saturday and Sunday; and a 7 p.m. show on Saturday.
