I saw In The Heights (Broadway), but I don't remember exactly when. Overall, I'd say it was a 4-star rating. I'd summarize it by saying “Great time, fun music and dancing, good story-telling and Lin manuel is amazing.”

I had a great time and left the show feeling happy and excited. I'd describe the show as charming, funny, and moving. Lim manuel miranda was a highlight of the show because he can rap and act and has great stage presence. If this were a movie, I'd rate it PG-13. I would recommend this show to everyone but not to young children.

I saw this show because I heard good things abou tit. I would see it again. I sat in the center orchestra area of the theater. The view was great and the seats were comfortable.

The night I went to the show, I sat behind Marc Anthony and J-Lo! They seemed to really enjoy the show as well.

I thought it was a terrific new way to tell a story. I was a bit disappointed with the lightness of the storyline but overall thought the production as excellent. The choreography was excellent and the dancers were all great.

Each character was well drawn and you were rooting for many of them throughout the show. The rapping didn't take long to embrace and the music was also terrific. So glad I saw it with the original cast too.
