Making it in New York City is tough. Few get the chance to live out their dreams, and the cast and crew of In the Heights know this all too well. This young, diverse group of relatively unknown artists and performers have dreamed of making it on Broadway, but are well aware that a new original musical set outside a bodega in the Latino neighborhood of Washington Heights is a highly risky proposition. It took eight years in all, but they succeeded beyond their wildest expectations, winning four Tony Awards along the way, including Best Musical and Best Score for a Musical. In the Heights: Chasing Broadway Dreams chronicles the personal stories of composer/lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cast of In the Heights in the months leading up to opening night.

In the Heights: Chasing Broadway Dreams premieres May 27 at 8PM (ET) on "Great Performances" on PBS. Invite your friends to watch this program right from their own homes or have a viewing party together!

ALEX LACAMOIRE, Tony and Grammy Award Winning Musical Director/Orchestrator of the Broadway hit musical IN THE HEIGHTS, is scheduled to teach an exclusive "POP ROCKS BROADWAY" Workshop on July 15.

The workshop is part of the new Broadway Triple Threat Summer Musical Theater Intensive for ages 13 and up at Manhattan Movement & Arts Center in NYC. Two one-week sessions are offered July 3 - 10 and July 13 - 17. Singing, dancing and acting, plus Q&As and workshops with TOP Broadway professionals.

Alex's workshop highlights: the correct way to approach the increasingly popular Broadway Pop/Rock score. TO RIFF OR NOT TO RIFF, THAT IS THE QUESTION? How to choose the perfect 16 or 32 bar cut for auditions. And much more!

From Broadway.com:

In The Heights added yet another accolade to its long list of prizes. The Tony Award-winning Best Musical nabbed the Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album on on February 8, beating out fellow nominees The Little Mermaid, Young Frankenstein, Gypsy and South Pacific at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards. The ceremony was broadcast live from Los Angeles’ Staples Center.


The win honored In the Heights’ original cast, featured on the recording, as well as producers Kurt Deutsch, Alex Lacamoire, Andres Levin, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Joel Moss and Bill Sherman, composer/lyricist Miranda and Razor & Tie Entertainment in partnership with Ghostlight Records.

Broadway itself was also represented elsewhere in the winners’ circle: Weill: Rise and Fall of The City of Mahagonny, featuring Tony Award winners Patti LuPone and Audra McDonald, collected two awards, for Best Classical Album and Best Opera Recording; Tony Award winner Cynthia Nixson (as well as fellow actors Beau Bridges and Blair Underwood) scored the Best Spoken Word Album honor for An Inconvenient Truth; and Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson, of big-screen Dreamgirls fame, took home Best R&B Album for her self-titled solo debut.
