"In the Heights" tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York's Washington Heights neighborhood -- a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It's a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind. Winner of the 2008 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score, Best Choreography and Best Orchestrations, Lin-Manuel Miranda's "In the Heights" can now be enjoyed at Escondido's Kit Carson Park Amphitheatre.

A tender story of family, friendship and acceptance -- what happens when our deepest secrets are finally revealed? Winner of the 2003 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, and penned by Tony-winning "Ragtime" creators Terrence McNally (book), Lynn Ahrens (lyrics) and Stephen Flaherty (music), "A Man of No Importance" is a rare gem of a musical that combines the depth and drama of a play with the lyricism and comedy of a musical. Dublin, 1964. Meet Alfie Byrne, a bus conductor with a poet's heart. In the morning he dispenses tickets and Oscar Wilde's poetry to his passengers. After work, St. Imelda's amateur theatricals are his passion. But his heart holds secrets that he can't share with anyone but his imagined confidante, Oscar Wilde. When he attempts to put on an amateur production of Wilde's "Salome", he confronts the forces of bigotry and shame over a love "that dare not speak its name." Truths tumble out, and judgments fly. But when the accounts of friendship are reckoned, Alfie's true goodness wins out. Enjoy this show at the Coronado Playhouse. [less-]
