Musical ‘In The Heights’ to Premiere at Phoenix Theatre
From the famed creator of the Broadway musical, Hamilton, comes the Tony Award-winning season opener for Phoenix Theatre: In The Heights.
Described by the Chicago Sun-Times as “West Side Story for a new generation,” Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first musical tells the universal story of a vibrant community on the brink of change. It’s a place full of faith, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggle can be determining which traditions you keep and which ones you leave behind.
In the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, a young storeowner (Usnavi, played by Pasha Yamotahari) watches the joys and heartbreaks of his community as they pass through his bodega.
Blending hip-hop, jazz, salsa and merengue, this Tony Award-winning musical exuberantly celebrates values we all share.
Usnavi, played by Pasha Yamatohari, owner of a small bodega in Washington Heights.
