In the Heights, Broadway's Tony-winning hit musical, tells the universal story of a vibrant community working hard to better their lives in Manhattan's Washington Heights. The characters are following their dreams, holding on to their traditions and culture, and sacrificing to create a better home for themselves and their children. The pride and joy of this community is Nina Rosario, the first to go away to college at Stanford University. However, Nina comes home for the summer with a jarring secret: she has dropped out of school because of financial pressures. Throughout the show, Nina struggles with her identity, her ambitions and her parents, who desperately want their child to get a good education. The only thing in their way is money.

Now is its second year on Broadway, In The Heights is the winner of four 2008 Tony Awards including Best Musical and the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Original Cast Album.
