Event Description
- Saturday 30th August at 1pm, plus a tactile tour prior (time TBA).
From the musical mastermind, Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, Moana) comes the Tony Award®-winning musical sensation In The Heights – a vibrant and exhilarating production set in New York’s Washington Heights.
In The Heights tells the story of a tight-knit community on the cusp of significant change. Full of hopes and aspirations, some are about to embark on an incredible journey of love and ambition while others are faced with some of the biggest challenges of their lives, including what it means to be “home”.
Following its acclaimed runs on Broadway, at the Hayes Theatre, and the Sydney Opera House, In The Heights is poised to ignite the stage at the Comedy Theatre, Melbourne this August. This vibrant celebration of community, culture, and the pursuit of dreams blends hip hop, salsa, and Latin rhythms into an infectious musical theatre score that has captivated audiences worldwide.
Bringing this production to life is a standout cast, led by Ryan Gonzalez (Moulin Rouge! The Musical) as Usnavi, Olivia Vásquez (West Side Story) as Vanessa, Richard Valdez as Piragua Guy and Mariah Gonzalez as Nina Rosario.
Under the direction of Luke Joslin, with dynamic choreography by Amy Campbell, both Helpmann Award nominees for this production, In The Heights delivers an unforgettable theatrical experience that pulses with energy, passion, and heart.
