In the Heights

Musical Theater West presents In the Heights as part of its 2026 season, The Season of Dreams, which promises to transport you through unforgettable stories of hope, family, ambition, and adventure.

Before Hamilton took the world by storm, Lin-Manuel Miranda used his real life as inspiration and created In the Heights - a vibrant, Tony Award-winning musical that pulses with the rhythm of the streets and the heart of a community. Set in New York City’s Washington Heights, this exhilarating story follows a neighborhood as they dream of escape, of belonging, and of a future full of promise. Through the infectious energy of hip-hop, salsa, merengue, and soul, this musical celebrates the hopes that propel us forward and the ties that bind us together, as one neighborhood strives to hold onto its roots while reaching for something more.

Performances will be held at The Carpenter Performing Arts Center. For showtimes and more information, visit musical.org or call (562) 856-1999.
