Si! I have seen it 3 times already and going again next week. It moves me and grooves me like no show has done in quite a while. Sure there are minor flaws in the book, but the rest is so wonderful. Itching for the OBCR so I can salsa my chubby butt down 8th Avenue!

iNo pare sigue sigue!

I am in love with this show.
I've seen it 3 times as well (off-broadway, previews, and on broadway) and loved every minute of all of them.

There is so much talent involved in this show.

¡No me diga! (I had to, sorry)


I'm surprised there wasn't a thread already. I've seen ITH three times, and I'll definitely go see it again. I was captivated by the show from the start. The music and the choreography are brilliant. Even with the problems with the book (which I will admit exist), the show is incredibly moving.

96,000 is one of the best numbers I have ever seen on a stage !!

Roma Torre said it best-- if you left after the 1st number, you would have gotten your monies worth !!!

I had two women sitting next to me last night--- in their 60's... dancing away like there was no tomorrow !!! Such mass appeal. I love it !!!

They put a new poster up at the theatre yesterday-- right by the doors where the ticket holders line starts. The closing shot from 96,000- Its amazing !!

I have to throw my love behind In The Heights.

It's creative, energetic, inspired and infectious (in a good way!).

I have had bits and pieces of songs running through my head since the first preview and I've been back once more already. There are so many beautiful melodies, harmonies, dance moves and emotional moments that you can walk away and have them floating in your head in the best possible way. This week I've had the "No Pare, Sigue Sigue" rhythm in my head and then this morning I woke up and it had changed to that little piece after Act II starts when Vanessa and Sonny sing "We are powerless".

AHHHHHHHHHHHH! I love this show SO much!

Love, love, love the show! It's going to blow up after the Tony awards, just like Spring Awakening did.

Very very excited to see this.
I have tickets for Thursday April 3.

I can't get there soon enough.

So excited, but if Lin Manuel is out that night, I might cry.
(Not that he would be, but I heard he was out recently and was scared.)

I have seen it twice from the first row (thank you lottery!) and once from back of mezz. There are some interesting things, one is the sound is markedly different. Being on top of the band down front made for grooving to the music but a bit of trouble hearing the singing and rapping. Though everyone is so much fun to watch up close. Seeing the entire picture from up top is also cool, the choreography and fluidity of the action is so graceful and intricate. I really can't decide which view is better, so I recommend doing both if you are able.

Lin is back (Karen as well) :))

They both just missed 1 performance, I believe.
