Has anyone else seen this show? It's about Dominicans, Cubans etc living in Washington Heights in NYC. We saw it in December whilst we were in NY for a few days and it is stunning, great music and so funny. Anyone who has spent alot of time here or are from here should see it! There were a lot of Dominicans in the audience and they seemed to love it too!
Maybe we should have a review forum for books, movies and shows with a Dominican theme?

It won the Tony Award for best musical of the year last year...... Hope they get a road show together and bring it here to SD!!

By far one of the best musicals I have seen and one I would be happy to go and see again. Great cast and fantastic music.

It's a good show, I do recommend checking it out. There is also a touching PBS documentary about it. Unfortunately I can't call it great ... despite seeing it twice and owning the soundtrack there re only 2 or 3 songs that stuck with me. The very best musicals stay in your head from curtain up to curtain down. Still congrats to the cast and creators for a wonderful and positive production about a place it is easy to be negative about.

Good Show

I saw the year it came out. Very nice show, it hits home with the experience of Dominican immigrants in the States, particularly showing a not often seen side of Washington Heights.
