David Mendiz\u00e1bal<\/a> (Mexodus) will direct the new staging, which will feature choreography by Mayte Natalio<\/a> and music direction by Alejandro Senior<\/a>. Casting, by The Telsey Office<\/a>, and further creative team members are to be announced.<\/p>\n

The musical, which began as a college project during Miranda’s time at Wesleyan University, served as the now Tony winner’s debut work, playing a 2005 try-out at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center and Off-Broadway’s 37 Arts Theater in 2007 before transferring to the Main Stem. The musical would go on to win four 2008 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and was a finalist for the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The work also became a spiritual predecessor for Miranda’s seminal megahit Hamilton<\/a>, which reunited director Thomas Kail<\/a>, choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler<\/a>, and music supervisor Alex Lacamoire<\/a> on the creative team, along with much of the cast (Christopher Jackson<\/a>, Jon Rua<\/a>, Javier Mu\u00f1oz<\/a>, Mandy Gonzalez<\/a>, and KO\u2014formerly Karen Olivo\u2014are all Heights and Hamilton alum, amongst others).<\/p>\n

The musical\u2014which features music and lyrics by Miranda and a book by Hudes\u2014centers on New York City’s Washington Heights neighborhood and its citizens, a vibrant immigrant community trying to get the American Dream while navigating a rapidly changing world. Miranda starred as bodega owner Usnavi, the ensemble musical’s protagonist, in the original company. Following the success of Miranda’s\u00a0Hamilton,\u00a0a film version of In the Heights\u00a0was released in 2020, directed by Jon M. Chu and featuring performances from Anthony Ramos<\/a>, Corey Hawkins<\/a>, Melissa Barrera<\/a>, Daphne Rubin-Vega<\/a>, Jimmy Smits<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n
