Profile

Off Broadway was the perfect place for a scrappy salsa-hip-hop musical about Washington Heights to gestate; Jeremy McCarter loved Lin-Manuel Miranda's “rich and kaleidoscopic” score and clever lyrics. But Broadway is where the innovative new musical fully expands—thanks not only to a space big enough for augmented cast, sound, and choreography, but the addition of four new songs to a previously skimpy second act. Between this and Passing Strange, trumpeters of the Decline of the Broadway Musical have nothing to complain about this season. — Boris Kachka

This show has it all!! Great music, touching story and incredible cast. It's young, fresh and feels good. Simple, sweet and touching. No gimmicks - just pure entertainment. Bravo.

WELL WORTH IT!!!!

I walked into the theater with very high expectations. Thankfully, I was not dismayed.This was truly one of the best musicals I have seen on Broadway (and I have seen many). I left the theater singing and dancing. This is Broadway at its best. The music was incredible; the cast was electrifying and the set design was the icing on the cake. No wonder they got the best new musical nod.

New York Critic's Theater picks

  • Finian’s Rainbow

    This marvelous, slightly unhinged revival succeeds because it refuses to wink at the material or treat it as quaint.

  • The Understudy

    Theresa Rebeck’s warm backstage comedy features a thoroughly excellent trio, but the heart of the show is Julie White’s performance.
