In The Heights

In The Heights is going to be very hard for me to review because I love it so much, but I will try my hardest.
I first saw In The Heights in April of 2008 and I absolutely loved it. I have gone back many times since then, and I'll speak the most about the last time I saw it, which was close to the current cast. I have only seen Corbin once, about a week after he joined, and I thought he did a fabulous job. You can tell from the current commercial that he really gets it; I really appreciate it. The show is in great shape with an exceptional cast carrying the strong message that Lin-Manuel Miranda created.
In The Heights creates such a strong sense of appreciation of home that I actually appreciate my own home more. I can't wait to live in New York, which I believe is my true home, but I have learned to love my own a bit more. Sure, the book isn't very strong, but the point still carries from the beginning to end. I also love how every character has a song to shine in. Most of the songs are extremely catchy and fun to listen to.
As I said, I have seen In The Heights many times. I loved it so much the first time I brought back my friend, her mom, my cousin, and my Aunt the second time, and a different Aunt the third time I saw it. My brother, who has only seen one other show, was also dragged into the Richard Rodgers Theater by me. Everyone, with the exception of my brother, loved the show and has either gone back or wanted to go back. I have also recommended In The Heights to many people, including my dentist, and many have come to me saying they saw it and loved it. I have many friends my age who have seen it multiple times, and some people have randomly talked to me about it because they love it too. Teenage boys and girls alike seem to enjoy themselves at In The Heights, and I'd recommend it to anyone of any age. It's a true feel-good musical with a great message. Teenage girls will also delight in seeing Corbin Bleu on stage and meeting him after the show. Also, Jordin Sparks will be joining the cast in August, so if you miss Corbin you will still get to see a big star. Everyone should make the trip to see In The Heights at least once; you'll probably leaving the theater feeling great. It has a lottery, so if you go 2 and a half hours before the show on most days [except Sunday, which is 2 hours before] and put your name in you can win front row seats for $26.50! These seats are great, and they come at a great price. If you have any questions comment or e-mail me :)
