 Written on July 27, 2008 Summary: Most amazing Broadway out there This show was absolutely amazing. It has been the best broadway I've seen in years. I'm as stunned as I was when I first saw wicked, but I honestly loved this one more than wicked. The soundtrack is amazing, some of these songs are so good they give me chills. Highlights: in the heights, 96,000, the club, finale Written on July 26, 2008 Summary: If I had to give 1 complaint ... This has now been my new favorite CD. The singing is phenomenal. The song lyrics have heart and soul. It's clean, crisp and spicy. The songs truly stick with you. Listening to this on my commute to and from work certainly has taken the stress off of my traveling. I'm headed to NYC in December. Tickets to this show are on my list to Santa. My boss is headed to NYC in October and is going to see this show on my recommendation; however, I feel I can't let her listen to the CD. I feel like I would be revealing too much of the story and ruin the surprise.  Written on July 24, 2008 Summary: Best New Musical? Admittedly, each new generation "shocks" the preceding one with their taste in music, and I must admit to being shocked and being part of the older set. Yet, that being said, I cannot see how rap music can be elevated to the art form which is the Broadway stage; well, perhaps it can, but why would anyone want to pay $100 a seat when they can just go to any corner in Harlem, Spanish Harlem, or Washington Heights - the Heights in the title - and get a free exhibition performed by the real originators of the musical idiom? I was raised in the South Bronx, and I am Hispanic, so I have no prejudice against Latin music, but when I go to the theatre, I expect to be transported to another dimension, and if it's a musical, I want the music to soar above the mundane. Perhaps, if we considered this musical in the light of "West Side Story", what I am trying to say would be clearer: Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim were able to take New York's social problems of the 50's and 60's, e.g, gang warfare and prejudice against Puertorricans, set them against an ugly background (New York City's west-side slums), and still create a musical theatre experience that can be justly described as a work of beauty. Lin-Manuel Miranda has also focused on an lower-class neighborhood in New York and it's problems, but can we honestly say that his music transports the audience to another realm? Can any of us come out of "In the Heights" with it's music in our minds? At least, let's give credit to the Tony Award voters who are willing to recognize new forms of talent and music, something they did not do when West Side Story had it's original run on Broadway. (Ironically, it took Hollywood to recognize West Side Story for the classic that it was and is: the film won ten oscars including Best Movie of the year.) Written on July 21, 2008 Summary: In the Heights AMazing CD! I have yet to see the show but the music is out of this world :) Written on July 17, 2008 Summary: Fantastic Fun This is one of the best musical soundtracks I've listened to. The story unfolds through the songs. I know I'll probably not get the opportunity to see it on stage so it's wonderful to understand the story without having to see it. The joy that this playwriter feels comes through in every song and the performers translate it perfectly. I had my doubts about the rap but the Latin beats underneath make it accessible. Additionally, there is no mumbling, the actors annunciate every word. I hope you like this musical as much as I do! |
