Turn up the heat and get ready to feel the rhythm as this Broadway dance spectacular brings the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan to the stage. At the center of the show is Usnavi, a bodega owner who pines for the gorgeous girl working in the neighboring beauty salon and dreams of winning the lottery and escaping to the shores of his native Dominican Republic. Meanwhile, Nina, a childhood friend of Usnavi’s, has returned to the neighborhood from her first year at college with surprising news for her parents, who have spent their life savings on building a better life for their daughter. And watching it all from her front stoop is Abuela Claudia, the neighborhood sage. Ultimately, Usnavi and the residents of the close-knit neighborhood get a dose of what it means to be home.
