Bringing Washington Heights to life.
Can’t gather on stage right now? ¡Paciencia y fe! We’ve assembled a few members of the creative team from our 2019 production of In the Heights to talk about what it was like bringing the hit musical written by Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda to the Playhouse stage.
You’ll get to know them and their individual journeys as theater artists, their first encounter with the musical and its characters, their creative process, their inspiration, and their favorite moment in the show.
This is the first episode in our virtual series From Concept to Curtain — a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process of putting a show on stage.
