casting.

AGES 13-21 ARE ELIGIBLE TO AUDITION

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. IN THE HEIGHTS is the
winner of the 2008 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score, Best
Choreography and Best Orchestrations.


All, please prepare 16 bars of a Lin-Manuel Miranda song from any of his
