IN THE HEIGHTS (off-Broadway) Encores! at NYCC - Discussion & Reviews — Page 2

Not judging it as a whole. But from the audio and video it doesn't look good.

Seeing it over weekend. Hope it's better than it sounds and looks here. Would enjoy HEIGHTS back on Broadway. But a smart well directed, choreographed and performed version that doesn't look like the original. As I said before this looks C rate. Give us an A+ HEIGHTS - a director and choreographer with large musical revival experience would help.

Agree that not all of these NYCC shows need to transfer because they can and are mounted on the cheap initially. Audiences deserve Broadway caliber.

And Bat Boy is transferring - it's in line and has its house.

This actually makes me want to go back and watch the film where the choreography was absolute fire.

Have you seen the clip ?? I am hoping it's better than what is presented. YOU don't the to take me seriously but it's a valid opinion. And you're one to talk...

I just am truly hoping for a GREAT mounting of the show - not a half baked semi-carbon copy of the original with GLEE-choir choreography and weak vocals. I'm guessing it will be much better by this weekend ...

Does anyone know if CoffeeBreak wants a good mounting of In the Heights? He’s only mentioned it 37 times and I want to be sure before assuming anything.
