    In The Heights


    July 1, 2023

    A breakout hit musical co-written by Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and Pulitzer Prize winner Quiara Alegría Hudes debuts the season on the Main Stage. In the Heights 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. 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 ones you leave behind. PSF is thrilled to present this winner of four Tony Awards including best musical and score. Don’t miss this Broadway sensation! Ages 10+

    IN THE HEIGHTS is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com.
