In 1999, Lin was brainstorming in La Casa working on his early rough drafts of what would become a Tony-Award winning phenomenon. 20 years later, 2nd Stage and Shades brought his masterpiece back home to Wesleyan University's 92 Theater in the Fall 2019 semester. IN THE HEIGHTS tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood - a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams, and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind. This revolutionary new musical combines Latin rhythms and dance with hip-hop lyrics to tell a captivating story about what it means to chase your dreams as you cling to your roots and celebrate the community from which you grew.
