Maria # 71, you’re missing the point.

It’s not wether the story is 100% accurate or the trite “PR vs DR” BS, it’s about Latinos succeeding against the odds and toughing it out in the face of gentrification. The show is true GENIUS. Don’t HATE, appreciate!

Watched In The Heights when it was on and was wondering when it will be on again. I just loved it and saw the play twice. Will it be available on DVD anytime soon? Thank you,

Beautiful documentary. Very touching and you end up having a great feeling after you watch it. Congratulations on the makers! and more over of the “In the heights” cast/producers. I’m dominican and proud of it. But who cares about nationalities? I’m proud to see latinos and all immigrants make it in Broadway. You are all so talented. Keep that up!!!

Had a chance to see In the Heights in July and LOVED IT! I’d been wanting to see it on previous trips to NY and am very happy to see that it will be in LA next summer. To Lin & the rest of the cast and crew – fantastic job!! :)

If you think this is a play about the real Washington Heights full of Dominican flavor, you’ll be very disappointed. In the Heights should be called In the Barrio (around E 116th ST). The Spanish Harlem where most of the population is Puerto Rican. In Washington Heights, where I have lived for more than 25 years, the bodegas, beauty salon, and cab companies are owned by Dominicans, not Puerto Ricans like in this play. To top it off, the only hope of the people in this play is a girl who gets to go to college, and guess what is her heritage? Puerto Rican. Maybe because the writer is Puerto Rican, he just wanted to continually flash the Puerto Rican flag to the audience, but believe me, there are not that many PR in Washington Heights. Don’t get me wrong. Besides the choreography, which I thought was choppy and repetitive without emphasizing the juicy bachata and merengue, the play is entertaining. However, this is not Washington Heights. Where are the Jews, police officers, the vendors selling from pastelitos to habichuela con dulce? What a pity! In the Heights wasted the chance Dominicans had to show all the flavor of their culture on Broadway. What a disappointment! Didn’t Puerto Ricans have already West Side Story? Why steal the Heights from the Dominicans?

I haven’t seen In the Heights yet but I’m hoping to for my 16th birthday, and it would be amazing if there was anyway for this show to be replayed on Channel 8 in Atlanta because unfortunatelly I missed it. I’ve followed the musical for a while and I know it’s an inspiration, so please listen to the audience and show this behind-the-scenes look again!

This doc made me want to see the show even more. I love the fact that it’ll be in L.A. next year. Can’t wait. But I want to be able to show this documentary to my friends. They would love it. Will it ever get repeated? It needs to be. Half the comments are asking for it and look at how many views it has had as compared to the other shows. Give in to public demand. = )

This show is a prime example of why I want to be an actor. Is this coming out on dvd soon?
