Great Performances : In The Heights - Chasing Broadway Dreams | Part6 of 6

Making it in New York City is tough. Few get the chance to live out their dreams, and the cast and crew of In the Heights know this all too well. This young, diverse group of relatively unknown artists and performers have dreamed of making it on Broadway, but are well aware that a new original musical set outside a bodega in the Latino neighborhood of Washington Heights is a highly risky proposition. It took eight years in all, but they succeeded beyond their wildest expectations, winning four Tony Awards along the way, including Best Musical and Best Score for a Musical. In the Heights: Chasing Broadway Dreams chronicles the personal stories of composer/lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cast of In the Heights in the months leading up to opening night.

Thank you so much for posting this special. I love it. Couldn't catch it live. Just wish the audio was sinked with the video but its still great ... and perfect visual quality!

I'm glad that you enjoyed the video and the quality of it.

Oh, the audio and video are in sync with each other. If you are seeing video lagging behind the audio, then your computer's processor is too slow to render HD video. Try the lower quality version and see if that helps. YouTube HD does require a lot of CPU power.
