IN THE HEIGHTS gave people a chance to share the love...and win! The Tony Winning musical held a Freestyle video contest about the one you love. Entrants were asked to submit a video for the chance to win a romantic trip to see IN THE HEIGHTS on Valentine's Day.

The videos were judged by Lin-Manuel Miranda's Freestyle Love Supreme and the best overall freestyle rap won a special Valentine's Day date package: Dinner for 2 at Tony's Di Napoli, a hot New York restaurant and a pair of tickets to IN THE HEIGHTS!

And the winner is...8 year old 'Shane', who gives a 'HEIGHTS' worthy performance about loving...IN THE HEIGHTS!
