Tony Award-winning Broadway musical IN THE HEIGHTS, which is now in previews ahead of an official opening on Tuesday 13 October, recently extended its run at King's Cross Theatre through Sunday 3 January 2016. IN THE HEIGHTS returns to London following a critically acclaimed sell-out UK premiere at Southwark Playhouse in 2014. BroadwayWorld has an exclusive first look at the cast in action below!

The cast features David Bedella (The Rocky Horror Show) as Kevin, Josie Benson (Sweeney Todd) as Camila, Vas Constanti (Flashdance) as Piragua Guy, Jade Ewen (Sugababes) as Vanessa, Lily Frazer (Cats) as Nina, Victoria Hamilton-Barritt (A Chorus Line) as Daniela, Sam Mackay (Wonder.land) as Usnavi, Antoine Murray-Straughan (Cats) as Graffiti Pete, Sarah Naudi as Carla, Eve Polycarpou (Mother Courage and Her Children) as Abuela, Joe Aaron Reid (Ghost, Broadway) as Benny and Cleve September (professional debut) as Sonny.

IN THE HEIGHTS is an uplifting and exhilarating journey into Washington Heights, one of Manhattan's most vibrant communities -- a place where the coffee is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It's a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggle can be deciding which traditions to take with you, and which ones to leave behind. With a gripping story and unforgettable Latin and hip-hop infused score, IN THE HEIGHTS is a ground-breaking contemporary musical about what it takes to make a living, what it costs to have a dream, and what it means to be home.

IN THE HEIGHTS is conceived by Lin-Manuel Miranda with Music and Lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda and a Book by Quiara Alegría Hudes. It is directed by Luke Sheppard with choreography by Drew McOnie, musical supervision by Tom Deering (Made In Dagenham, From Here To Eternity), set design by takis (Chicago, Curve Theatre), costume design by Gabriella Slade (Alice in Wonderland, Oxford Playhouse), lighting design by Howard Hudson (Adrian Mole, Titanic) and sound design by Gareth Owen. Casting is by Will Burton. It is produced in London by Tristan Baker and Charlie Parsons for Runaway Entertainment Ltd and Paul Taylor Mills Ltd.
