In the Heights: Winner of
four 2008 Tony Awards and
the 2008 Grammy Award for
Best Musical Show Album,
In the Heights is coming to
the Hippodrome Theatre
in Baltimore. The musical
tells the universal story of
a vibrant community in
New York’s Washington
Heights neighborhood—a
place where the coffee from
the corner bodega 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 struggles
can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and
which you leave behind.
Feb. 23-March 7. Tickets
are on sale at the theatre
