In the Heights

The 2008 Tony winner for Best New Musical chronicles a single weekend in Washington Heights, showing how the neighborhood's tight-knit Latino community approaches life and love. Jordin Sparks, of American Idol fame, signed on to begin a limited run in August as Nina—she can be seen through mid-November. The popular production will end its run on the Great White Way in January 2011. For the last 19 performances, Lin-Manuel Miranda, the New York composer who created and orginally starred in the show, will return to his role as Usnavi. Ages 8 and up.
