I'd give it less if I could!!
I saw this Latino rip-off of "Rent" and "West Side Story" last week. Many audience members left at the intermission. I stayed hoping for a better second act. It didn't happen. This is muzak garbage. The script is sophomoric and the unit set is boring. The highly acclaimed choreography is out of the "Solid Gold" dance academy.

I tried to listen to this CD before I left for New York and was appalled by its mediocrity. It is too mundane for words.

Save your money.

Deserving of Tony
I saw this show Off Broadway and then On. I couldn't wait for the CD to be released and it was worth the wait. See this show and listen to its original music. You won't regret it.

Nothing Short Of Spectacular
I saw this play in early March of 2008 and it was more than everything I was expecting. Immediately after watching it on Broadway, I went looking for the soundtrack, only to find out a few weeks later that they would release it in June 2008. It was well worth the wait. "In The Heights" deserved all four Tony Awards that it won, and it shows on this album.

Thank you to the cast, and Lin-Manuel Miranda for sharing this work with the world!

PURE LATINO BLOOD ALL OVER!
BRAVO! This is an absolutely MARVELLOUS musical, specially for Latins. It's an impeccably recorded double album with detailed synopsis, color photographs from the show and the lyrics. Latins and Latin culture has occasionally been present in some Broadway pieces (WEST SIDE STORY, TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA); however, this musical breaks all the records since it's pure Latin blood from A to Z. Highlights? PIRAGUA, PACIENCIA Y FE and CARNAVAL DEL BARRIO will become classics. For its originality and contagious rhythms, this show deserves to run for years. Thank you, Lin-Manuel Miranda, for giving such a wonderful Latin touch to the heart of Broadway.

Maravilloso!!
I saw this play off-B'way 6 times
and plan to see it as many or
more times
on B'Way
what a treat!
I love owning the CD
Thanx
