This was a really great show. Coming from New York and being new to Lexington, we did not know what to expect. The show was GREAT !! Great set design, great acting/singing/dancing. Exellent performance.
What a great show. The music was exhilarating, the production was excellent, lighting was just right and the fireworks display was very convincing. The sound and diction were second to none. In many of the theaters I often have difficulty discerning the lines at various shows, but the combination of the acoustics at the Opera House and the sound balance were perfect, plus the diction was absolutely great. Well done and congratulations to the entire cast and crew. If you get the opportunity you must go to see this production of "In the Heights". I understand that it will be on tour until June.
While this is a great show and entertaining, this production is a rip-off. This is one of my top 5 favorite shows, I saw it on Broadway and the first National tour. While the actors in this production all seem to be hard working and good people, they aren't talented enough to be in the chorus of a real production. Almost all of them are overweight which isn't attractive in the tight wardrobes meant for normal stage actors. (Yes, they are supposed to be Latin but still, they are still overweight.) Also, the choreography was disappointing. For the big climax of the song 96,000, while they are all harmonizing they all just walk towards each other into a jumble and then walk away. On Broadway they danced around in a circle creating a powerful moment. Also, the dance moves were weak and some times the actors actually fumbled the landings. Plus, all the music in the first act was played slower than normal. Thus, all the lyrics are sung more slowly and all the dance moves were slower. If you've never seen the show, go see it. The story, music and peak into human nature is riveting. If you've seen the show on Broadway or the first National tour, but on the CD instead and watch a few clips from the Tony Awards on YouTube.
Loved the Spanglish and conversational words. Easy to follow for Spanish students. I enjoyed the youthful crowd as their reactions are so instinctive.
The talent was topnotch. Loved the music and the dancing!
in the Heights the musical I was able to relate to lots of the situations they encounter. The characters were amazing, the singing, the dancing was spectacular. I recommend in the Heights to everyone if you want to enjoy a well produce play.
Phenomenal funny dramatic great cast great dancers and singing all were great, it was exhilarating and kept you at the tip of your seat excited and enthralled congratulations for the great mix in cast and spectacular talent abounded. Bring us more like this
My husband surprised me with tickets to the show, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it! The dancing was incredible. The story line was a little hard to follow at times, but overall, it was beautiful!
It was awesome. The music was great. The cast were fantastic. I enjoyed every moment. I'm glad I was able to see this play, I almost missed it.
Fast moving, good music, great dancing, good story line, suspenseful!
Thought I would not enjoy a musical but this was has me hooked. The actors were awesome and kept me wanting more. Would recommend this play to everyone.
entire cast was amazing especially nina and usnavi!!!
Loved How they portrayed Latinos in a positive light. Despite struggles it showed how important family and communal unity is for us to grow not just for Latinos but for all nationalities. Keep representing!
Great show and excellent production!! Cast was really good the sound was great and was very entertaining!!!
I loved every minute of the play. The energy the actors had was infectious. I have a hard time understanding accents but for the most part I caught every word that was said because they all had such clear diction. The scene changes were seamless.
It was a great theater to view off broadway. The production level was great. I can't wait to see another musical in the same theater.
This show was amazing!! this was my second time seeing it, and although i was a little skeptical since it was not the original cast, i was not at all dissapointed. The tour cast was just as good as the original, and according to my 11 and 17 year old daughters, they were even funnier than the originals!!! Great job and good work showing the world our culture through the eyes of these young people as well as old. The only thing is i was hoping to see the cast at the end of the show and take pictures with them like in NY, but unfortunately no one (the workers) knew if they would come out or not, we waited about 20 minutes but did not get to see anybody coming out.
the best performance I've been to all year...fantastic
The music was excellent. I would definitely recommend listening to the CD before attending the event as it can be easy to miss the words of the song when it is being sung live. It was obvious that the performers enjoyed every minute on stage and were touched by the standing ovation they received. The voices were beautiful and the dancing was powerful with a definite "latino" feel. What a great way to spend 2 1/2 hours!
The bilingual script was well crafted and while the entire show was understandable to English speaking viewers my college spanish really paid off. There are certain cultural sayings and expressions that don't fully translate. On the money and hysterical. Contemporary flair on an almost timess NYC block. Constant activity on the street kept you visually entertained when listening to the melodic tunes of the slower songs. Some lyrics were overpowered by the pit band but it was wonderful to hear so much brass in an off-Broadway performance. Other than some sound issues and general sound feeback throughout the show the performance was awesome. I want to see what happens next in these people's lives. Even though there are many shows I have not yet seen and plan to see I would definitely see this show again.
