I saw In The Heights (Broadway) on 10/19/10. Overall, I'd say it was a 5-star rating. I'd summarize it by saying “Fun and exciting! A breath of fresh air”

I had a fabulous time and left the show feeling happy and inspired. I'd describe the show as funny, brilliant, and uplifting. 96,000 was a highlight of the show because it was just mind blowing!. If this were a movie, I'd rate it PG-13. I would recommend this show to any theatre fan who wants a new experience but not to young children.

I saw this show because I had been wanting to see it and it was a field trip for school. I would see it again. I sat in the left orchestra area of the theater. The view was perfect and the seats were a little tight.

I had been wanting to see it since it won the Tony in 2008. I was a little disappointed that Jordin Sparks was not there but I really liked her understudy. I love to see new and original musicals. The story was uplifting and inspiring and the songs were excellent. I was a skeptic about the rap and I'm still not a big fan of it but it flowed nicely. The dancing was incredible. I loved how it just kept going and going. It was worth the two year wait I waited to see it!
