Overview

Please note: In the Heights celebrates, uplifts and amplifies a Latinx community in New York City. To honour the authors’ vision and to tell that story clearly and appropriately, the roles should be cast accordingly.

Company members must match the character definitions as written in the script, descriptions of which can be found in the CAST LIST tab.

This musical tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighbourhood - 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.
