With Thanksgiving weekend being as late as it could possibly be this year, I decided to read a number of short, diverse reads rather than jumpstart my December list. A few of my reads took me to New York City, where I usually end up on my reading adventure at this time of year. The media’s portrayal of New York during the holiday season is pure magic; yet, the media does not reveal the melting pot of immigrant cultures that is prevalent in New York’s neighborhoods when constructing this image. We would not have a Thanksgiving in the United States if it were not for the first immigrants: the Pilgrims. I decided to read a musical that takes an in depth look at a modern immigrant community in Washington Heights, New York, where its inhabitants make up a vibrant few blocks as they look to achieve their own personal American dream.
After reading Hamilton: The Revolution it is apparent that Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius. His journey to being a celebrity superstar began in high school, and In the Heights was his first foray on Broadway back in 2004. He collaborated with Quiara Alegria Hudes who had previously been nominated for a Pulitzer in drama and would go on to win for Water by the Spoonful in 2011. The team of Miranda and Hudes was a coming together of the two leading Hispanic names in theater as they set out to produce a hip hop musical that would pay homage to the Hispanic culture prevalent in the Washington Heights neighborhood. Miranda grew up in neighboring Inwood. In the Heights would be a personal story of his grandparents, relatives, and friends who came to New York from Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and other island nations in search of a better life than the one who left behind.
Miranda wrote the role of Usnavi for himself. The character was named because his parents saw U.S. Navy written on the side of a ship while they traveled to the United States by boat. Usnavi de la Vega runs the corner bodega, assisted by his cousin Sonny. The bodega is a central meeting place in the Heights, and patrons know that they can buy a café con leche, play la lotería, and stop for a friendly chat. Friends rarely pay for the café, and Usnavi is a respected member of the community. Raised by his “abuela” Dona Claudia, Usnavi learned strong family values from a young age. It is little wonder that the entire community is always stopping by the bodega to talk, sip their café, and reminisce about their island homelands.
The fictional version of Washington Heights is made up of a vibrant cast of characters. Kevin and Camila Rosario own Rosario’s Dispatch Service. Kevin started as a mechanic and worked his way up to owning his own business. Their daughter Nina is the star of the community, a high achiever who earned a scholarship to Stanford and is the first in the family to go to college. In real life, Nina Rosario would be a star as well, and I would expect to hear great things about her. If men can stop and shoot the breeze at la bodega, women stop in for a haircut and to gossip at la salon run by Daniela, Carla, and Vanessa. These women style hair to Hispanic women’s specifications, making la salon the go to place for hair needs in the Heights. Times are about to change though, as Carla and Daniela found a better deal in the Bronx, so they are moving locations. As the play progresses, the women reminisce about what ifs. And no musical would be complete without love interests, which here are found with the budding romance of Usnavi and Vanessa as well as Nina and Benny, a gringo employee at her father’s business. With this diverse cast of characters, it is no wonder that In the Heights received high acclaim and made it to Broadway.
With one month left in the year and books in my pile that I want to get through before the calendar changes, I do not think I will have a chance to read more plays this year. They are a fun escape for a few hours, especially while listening to the soundtrack in tandem to the script. I do have a number of plays on tap for 2020, most of them musicals as they make for an upbeat change of pace, especially the modern ones with diverse music that reflects a 21st century society. I do hope that Lin-Manuel Miranda has other projects in store in the future what with Hamilton still generating critical acclaim worldwide. In the Heights brought me back to his first Pulitzer nomination and was a entertaining way to spend part of my holiday weekend.

I am again reading this with my English methods class this term as we work with an area Pilsen-neighborhood (once Polish, now Mexican) school, ninth-grade lit classes. You may have heard of Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical Hamilton?! Well this was his first success, a stage musical from the decade before, 2007, focused on a single block of Washington Heights in Manhattan. The story focuses on Usnavi (that's right, like US Navy) de la Vega, (who was named by his parents for what they saw written on the ship they saw in the harbor in Manhattan), Benny, and Nina Rosario but also gives a sense of cultural energy and pride and struggle to survive, economically.
Usnavi is in love with Vanessa and dreams of moving back to the Dominican Republic. But the story is also about young people forging an identity: Am I Dominican? American? Who am I?! And, what's a community? How can a neighborhood have an identity? It's also about immigration and also, gentrification, neighborhood change, and different perceptions of "progress."
Overall, it's very positive and fun and earnest and let's say less historically-based, than Hamilton? In other words, you won't have to buy something like Ron Chernow's biography, Hamilton, to fully understand what's going on (how many people bought that book and have a bookmark still sticking out of it at about page 133?). In case you never heard of Heights, it opened with lots of acclaim and nominations and awards. It was nominated for 13 Tony awards and won four including Best Musical, Best Original Score and Best Choreography, so you better know it is a fun evening.
This is the "book" for the musical, written by Quiara Alegria Hudes, which of course you would never just read without also checking out the music as you go on YouTube, so here's the opening number "The Heights" featuring Miranda as Usnavi, though he will not play that part in the film:

Here's the trailer for the movie, which is scheduled for release June 2021:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iH8v...
But I think there are various ways you can watch versions of it free online right now, if you don't want to wait. It's a very popular and relate-able musical, especially in Latinx communities, of course.

I picked this up knowing basically nothing about it except for the fact that it's by Lin Manuel Miranda and I'm really glad I did! I enjoyed it a lot. I listened to the soundtrack while reading through, which I think really helped with my enjoyment of reading it. I am sad now that I never got to see it while it was on Broadway!

Personally, I think this is one of the best musicals to date. The music is fluid, engaging, and of course includes fast paced beats making it the perfect daily playlist. The plot is phenomenal about Washington Heights and her inhabitants living their lives in the barrio. Their hopes of staying - or leaving - are divulged in this classic tale of the hero and his journey to success. Not just one hero, but a whole group helping each other to the top.

I love this musical so much, and as a child of a boriqua, I loved all the subtle references to language, customs, slang, etc that pop up. The book was great for anyone who loves the soundtrack; it has all the lyrics written out and the in between conversations and stuff you miss if you will never be able to afford seeing this live (sob).
4 stars only because I wanted more! More pics, more behind the scenes stuff, just more!! Also, some of the lyrics were slightly off.

I seriously love In the Heights. Just when I couldn't get enough of Hamilton, here there was a whole other musical that Lin had written, starred in, and was just as beloved. It took me awhile to actually get around to listening to it, but when I did, I fell in love, just as I had fallen in love with Hamilton. The difference between these two shows however, is that with Hamilton, you generally get the whole story, as it is sung the whole way through and simply by listening to the soundtrack, you basically hear the whole musical. But with In the Heights, there is dialogue. If you only listen to the songs, you are going to miss some plot points. Sure, you can look up the Wikipedia entry, but it is still not the same reading the summary as actually knowing what is said in between songs. That's why I love scripts - even if you don't see it being performed, you still can experience the show.
I bought this book at the Drama Book Shop in New York City. Since I would be spending three months there during the summer, I knew that I wanted to visit Lin's favorite book store. I went inside and the place was magical - the theatre kid inside of me was beaming. I knew I wanted to buy something to support the store, but what? The logical answer would be something Hamilton-related, but I figured that a lot of people would be coming in there just because of that connection, and even though I was one of those people, I didn't want to make it appear that way. So I decided to buy the book for In the Heights (I basically owned all the Hamilton-related books anyhow). In the Heights is a fantastic musical, and I hope that one day by sheer luck I can see it performed on stage. For now, the script will do just fine and I can revel in the beauty and genius that is the writing of Lin-Manuel Miranda.

I didnt get to see this on Broadway but found the album on Amazon Prime for streaming. Listened to it through several times and fell in love. Was so curious about what happened between songs and was so happy this book existed. If this came back for a concert or back to Broadway I would be ALL OVER THAT. What a beautiful show, with beautiful characters, and a beautiful culture.
THANK YOU LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA.

Love this so much but who's surprised. I wish the movie had the character of Camilla, but I also wish the musical had a lot of the character development of the movie. I also prefer how the lottery thing happens in the movie as well as what happens to Abuela Claudia. Lin-Manuel Miranda, I love you.

Reading this one for my English Teaching Methods course. This semester I'll be collaborating with a High School English class in Pilsen. At first I was perplexed - why this? After finishing it, it all made much more sense.
To be honest when I saw this on the syllabus, I was stoked. I've heard about this getting made into a live action musical film and getting an excuse to read the play was neat. This story is about Usnavi, a fun likable character who runs the family bodega. As the play continues questions of identity, the future and other various factors come into play. I really liked this play a bit more in terms of the general story. Don't get me wrong - I loved the music from Hamilton. (I still occasionally think of a song and hum it in my head randomly) This story feels alot more real. A lot more grounded in reality. Yes I know someone literally wins the lottery but it's the characters that do the story justice for me.
Hearing odes of culture and the ambiance that Miranda has put together made this play fly by. I look forward to the film and eagerly wait it's release.

I love Lin’s other works, but I’d never seen/read In The Heights. When I saw the book at a restaurant on a free books shelf, I picked it up and knew that I would love it. It did not disappoint.

What a truly great work. I feel weird waxing emotional about it in this place, since my real Emotions (TM) are more connected to the stage production as a stage production, and the OBCR as a recording. But it must be noted that there are few stories and works that have affected me so deeply, so consistently, so profoundly, as this. I am so excited to have the book, especially so I can relive
"Daniela, what would Jesus do?"
-"Do I look like Jesus to you?"
over and over again.
The book is brilliant as well as the music, and Quiara did wonderful work. When Hillcrest did it I saw it three times in one weekend and then wrote down as many of the quotes from the book as I could remember (a lot of them) (the same thing I did with Aida, and Will, and Wiz), but I still love having this book and having bought it at the Drama Bookshop in New York an hour or so before attending my first Broadway show.
I end up hugging this book a lot, to be honest.

October 24, 2017The book and lyrics of In the Heights are a less intricate feat than Hamilton, but I'm reserving my star rating until I listen to the cast album and get a feel for how everything works with the music. You have to admire Miranda's insistent focus on the mundane, resisting the urge to get into anything too melodramatic and soapy (something Hamilton rightful indulges) -- as in his determination that Nina's financial struggles are enough without the addition of a cliche pregnancy. Like the skilled musician he is, Miranda has an impeccable sense of tone and register: dialing the dramatic noise up and down to suit his subject.
Edit: Also, acknowledgement has to go to book-writer/playwright Quiara Alegría Hudes for her collaboration and contribution. Don't want to give the impression that LMM is a one man band.

Rate this a 3.5 Had a pretty cool reading experience reading this libretto. I read this book while listening to the soundtrack and I mean by following the book, like listening to the music and then pause in between scenes. It was fun cause I felt more connected to the soundtrack then listening to a Broadway album of a show that I haven't and will never see. Overall I thought the music of In The Heights was great but I thought the book of the show was ok. I liked the characters, especially Usnavi and Sonny, but I just didn't like the ending. It kinda left open ended and I wanted to see more of what happened after the show ended. Yes I'm talking about Vanessa and Usnavi haha. Fun read.
May 13, 2017
this took longer to listen to than i expected it would. it is not that it's bad, it's just that at times i felt lost due to the language barrier. plus i wish it was longer? like more fleshed out i mean. but yeah i kind of didn't care as much as i though i would after hearing the first three songs. i was hooked after three songs, but then i kinda became unhooked as i made my way through.
but it is really good. dont get me wrong. the music is great. there were little one liners i couldnt help but laugh out loud to. i just didnt connect with it as much as i hoped i would. it's me not you sort of thing.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is ruining my life, one musical at a time.
Though he didn't wind up writing the book for this play, the original concept and music/lyrics are all his, and some of the musical themes that we see/hear in Hamilton make appearances in here as well. Reading this while also listening to the soundtrack made it even better. A heartwarming, upbeat, and sometimes heart-wrenching account of what it's like to grow up in the barrio, accompanied by a combination of musical styles that blend together perfectly.

It'll be interesting how history remembers In the Heights and whether or not it will be forever seen as a tune-up for Hamilton. Fortunately it stands on its own just fine. The story is a little bit rote, but compensates by taking us to a place you never really see in mainstream entertainment and telling the stories of the people who live there. The energy practically leaps of the page, and pairing this with the cast recording is the only way to go. I mean, outside of actually seeing a performance, but when you're landlocked you take what you can get.
August 21, 2016
You can see similarities between his lyric styles for this show and current success, Hamilton. It took him 8 years to get this show to Broadway! 3 years to write before it was presented as a reading and then 5 years to develop and workshop it, until it opened on Broadway to rave reviews and Tony wins.
It has some great numbers, i.e. No Me Diga, 96000, The Club/Blackout, and Carnaval del Barrio

I love the music, but it was nice to see it all in book form, along with the dialogue that doesn't show up on the OBC album.
I have to say though- as a book this is nothing when compared to the Hamiltome. It's a small paperback with just a tiny collection of photos in the middle, and other than a brief intro, it doesn't have any extras. No story of the show and how it came to be, no footnotes, no anecdotes. It's pretty bare bones.
But that is not a reflection at all upon the story or the music- just that the book itself is small and plain.

I enjoyed this libretto a lot...some areas were repetitive, especially a couple of the songs, but it's an interesting concept with hip-hop infused with classical musical pop. All the while it tells an above average story of young Dominican Republicans living in New York. Yes, at points the plot is a little cliched, but the topic is handled in an original way which really saves a few areas here. I was hooked from the start at the idea and remained hooked until the very last word.

What an exciting read! A very neat plot idea filled with unforgettable characters and some really A+ humor. My only complaint is that it is maybe TOO neat. Everything wraps up nicely and just a little too perfectly by the end, considering how realistic the plot is up to the conclusions. It might have just been Miranda's personal choice, to give a happy ending to a group of people who, if those circumstances were real, would not have gotten one.
