The Toledo Rep presents In The Heights
The Toledo Repertoire Theatre presents In the Heights June 3 - 19, 2022, as part of its 89th season. In The Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood – 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. With lyrics and music by Lin-Manuel Miranda and book by Quiara Alegría Hudes, In the Heights is the winner of the 2008 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score, Best Choreography and Best Orchestrations.
“An exuberant, animated shrine to the importance of family ties and being faithful to where you come from.” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times
“An infectious celebration with a dynamic, toe-tapping score, a terrific, truly winning cast and some of the most spirited dancing on Broadway! This buoyant musical also nods reverently to the traditions of the show tune.” – David Rooney, Variety
“A big, pulsing power-surge of a show, igniting a new energy source for musical theatre. For all the freshness of sound, the show stands firmly – even proudly – in the tradition of the theatre. This upper West Side Story has roots back to Fiddler on the Roof.” – Linda Winer, Newsday
In the Heights is directed and choregraphed by Debra Ross Calabrese and musical direction is by Gail Mowry. The cast includes Jonathon Tobar as Usnavi De La Vega, D’Juliana Calzada as Nina Rosario, Maria Fallouh as Vanessa, Tajj Crowder as Benny, Eric Hillenbrand as Kevin Rosario, Lydia Schafer as Camila Rosario, and a large cast of other dynamic talents.
