Composer Lin-Manuel Miranda has become an international star over the last few years thanks to his seminal musical Hamilton. The Tony Award-winning In the Heights, with a book by Quiara Alegría Hudes has become one of the most cherished musicals of the 21st century. The music takes its cues from the diverse Latin community it represents in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York using hip-hop, salsa, merengue and soul music into the score and with lyrics about love, life, community and the American dream.
For the Deaf community, we are providing an ASL-interpreted performance of this event on June 24, 2023, at 2:30 PM.
If you are planning to utilize interpretation at this event please inform the box office upon arrival to ensure you're seated with optimal views of the interpreters.
