The Tony Award®-winning musical sensation In the Heights is set to ignite Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre from 1 August for a strictly limited 6 week season.
Experience the debut musical from mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton) - a vibrant and exhilarating production set in New York’s Washington Heights. In The Heights tells the story of a tight-knit community on the cusp of significant change.
Following its acclaimed runs on Broadway, at the Hayes Theatre, and the Sydney Opera House, this vibrant celebration of community, culture, and the pursuit of dreams blends hip hop, salsa, and Latin rhythms into an infectious musical theatre score that has captivated audiences worldwide.
Bringing this production to life is a standout cast, led by Ryan Gonzalez (Moulin Rouge! The Musical) as Usnavi, Olivia Vásquez (West Side Story) as Vanessa, Mariah Gonzalez as Nina Rosario, Ngali Shaw as Benny and Richard Valdez as Piragua Guy.
With its high-energy dance numbers, soulful storytelling, and unforgettable music, In The Heights is a must-see theatrical event.
