It has aspects of both, but I would classify it as a Musical Comedy.

I'd actually classify it more as a drama, but I guess that may just be me.

From what I gather, IN THE HEIGHTS is a 'dramedy'

More of a "corama".

I prefer to call it a comma. But to each his own.

I think it's a musical play AND a musical comedy... kind of like Fiddler on the Roof.
