In the Heights is a vibrant musical bursting with salsa, merengue, and hip-hop rhythms, transporting you to the heart of Washington Heights, a predominantly Dominican neighborhood in New York City. The story follows Usnavi, a bodega owner pining for a better life and harboring a secret crush on Vanessa, a local beauty about to leave for college. As a summer heat wave blankets the neighborhood, tensions simmer alongside dreams of escaping the familiar for a brighter future. Usnavi grapples with a potentially life-changing lottery ticket, while other characters face their own challenges - a failing car service business, forbidden love, and the struggle to preserve cultural heritage. In the Heights is a celebration of community, chasing dreams, and the bittersweet beauty of change.

The off-Broadway production received critical acclaim, earning nine Drama Desk Award nominations and winning two, including Outstanding Musical. The show's success continued on Broadway, where it truly soared. In the Heights raked in thirteen Tony Award nominations, the most for any production that year, and ultimately won four prestigious awards, including the coveted Best Musical trophy.

BWW Review: Street Theater Company Comes Roaring Back With LIZZIE: THE MUSICAL at Darkhorse Theatre

October 24, 2021

Lizzie Borden, who maintained her innocence of the axe murders of her father and stepmother until the day she died in 1927, was very possibly the progenitor of every piece of tabloid journalism that continues to titillate readers to this very day. Who better than she then to become the protagonist in a provocative work of musical theater that lays bare all the rumors that surrounded her in life and which gives her agency over her own story almost a hundred years after her death?
