Last spring, audiences, critics, and award voters were enthralled with the Off-Broadway musical In the Heights, a musical portrait of Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood. So it wasn't completely unexpected that adventurous producers Kevin McCollum, Jeffrey Seller, and Jill Furman have brought the show to Broadway, where it begins previews at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on February 14, in advance of its official opening on March 9. TheaterMania took our video crew to the show's last month, where we caught up with such excited cast members as Mandy Gonzalez, Christopher Jackson, and Priscilla Lopez, and gained some valuable insights from creator-star Lin-Manuel Miranda, director Thomas Kail, book writer Quiara Hudes, and choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler about this magical and challenging journey to the Great White Way.

  • Thomas Kail was at the show Friday night =D

    i sat 3rd row stage right and there's a door there that leads to backstage. At the end he was standing there and then i saw him hanging out outside the stage door. AMAZING hahaa

  • Thomas Kail is HOT!

  • b/c if you mean that book, it has nothing to do with this show. its about an actual town called wahsington heights in the US. about a community of latino ppl trying to fulfill their dreams, searching for "home," and basically themselves.

  • you mean wuthering heights?

  • damn, and i thought i had to go farther. lol im flying from miami. good luck!
