In the Heights


  • HOTA, Home of the Arts (map)

Following a sold-out season at the Hayes Theatre and acclaimed runs at the Sydney Opera House, In The Heights is set to ignite Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre. With its high-energy dance numbers, soulful storytelling, and unforgettable music, In The Heights is a must-see theatrical event. This vibrant celebration of community, culture, and the pursuit of dreams blends hip hop, salsa, and Latin rhythms into an infectious musical theatre score.

Its original ground-breaking Broadway run won four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Set in New York’s lively Washington Heights, In The Heights tells the story of a tight-knit community on the cusp of change. As dreams take flight and challenges arise, its residents must ask themselves: What does it truly mean to call a place ‘home’?
