(it's a lotta slashes coming, ok? but it's just because...oooh...read on...)
If you have to wear a Starbucks patch for the next month, do it. If you have to miss the next sale at SYMS/Barneys/BabyPhat/Modells, do it. If you have to make eyes at the tkts salesperson, mami/mi'ijo, do it. Do whatever you have to do to see this hot with the hotness musical play.
Yes, I went to see it initially because my Diva girlfriend is in the show and your DivaCardista was reaching the unspoken limit on how many times you can tell another Diva
I'm coming to see your show soon,
fa reeah doe...
--and this past Sunday was the "due date" for soon--so, yes, I went because of my friend, but I stayed because
********"In The Heights" is hot to death! *********
Omigoodness.
Who should/must see this show:
If you are under the age of 95, you should see this show.
If you are under the age of 45, you really should take your peeps to see this show.
If you have ever watched the Puerto Rican Day parade [on TV]....
If you like hip hop even a little bit...
If you are kinda nice on the mic...
If you got the essence of "West Side Story" & "Soul Food" &...
If, whenever you see "Meet Me In St. Louis", you think: what would that be like con Dominicanos...
If you have/had an abuelita...
If you took Spanish in the seventh grade...
If you live/have ever lived or even been above 96th Street...
If you have ever been walking down the street and, seeing somebody spinning on his head on a cardboard box mashed flat, stopped to watch [in awe]...
If you can get down with some pan dulce and arroz con pollo even though your people are from Roanoke, Virginia...
If you are a classically trained dancer with a booty...
If you sometimes stand transfixed at the beauty of a NYC bridge at twilight...
If you are yet and still looking for the perfect beat...
If you have ever attempted to pop and/or lock...
If you love musicals...
If you have a pulse...

If you've ever been in love...
If you vowed never again after seeing that poetic bait&switch barrage of expletives that had some of the city's biggest reviewers all in a lather while you wanted to wash your mind with soap, all the while wishing that someone would one day be bold and skillful enough to unite hip hop & theatre...
If you haven't seen a show in a while because no one seems to tell you/show you anything new and if you see/hear about one more all white revival you swear you may commit a crime, go see this show.
Your heart will thank you.
Blessings,
