Review: IN THE HEIGHTS at Signature Theatre
by Jackson Malmgren - Feb 20, 2025

In Washington Heights, Usnavi (Ángel Lozada) sings to us about life in the neighborhood while carrying out his day-to-day activities involved in operating his bodega (“In the Heights”). There’s Sonny (Nicolas Garza), the young aspiring entrepreneur who helps Usnavi run things; Abuela Claudia (Rayanne Gonzales), Usnavi’s elderly neighbor who’s “not really [his] abuela;” and Vanessa (Adriana Scalice), a woman Usnavi is too shy to talk to, but who is trying to move out of Washington Heights as soon as possible.
