Before there was Hamilton, there was In the Heights, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hip Hop Broadway musical about New York’s tight-knight, majority Dominican neighborhood of Washington Heights.
Usnavi narrates three days in the life of the Heights and the characters that live there from his corner De La Vega Bodega. Expect vibrant choreography, Latin rhythms, Rap, Hip Hop and more song and dance.
It’s the perfect precursor to the arrival of Hamilton’s touring production at the Aronoff Center on Feb. 19.
Every Tuesday during the run of In the Heights, a minimum of 100 tickets will be available for just $10 starting at 6 p.m.; limit two per person.
Jan. 19-Feb. 17. $30-$106. Playhouse in the Park, 962 Mount Adams Circle, Mount Adams, cincyplay.com.
