In The Heights
I adored this show from the opening scene! Never thought I'd say this, but it's got the perfect blend of rap and soaring ballads. Dancing that you can actually relate to. (Yeah, I guess I relate better to hip hop than tap). The characters are lovable and some are hilarious. I was laughing and talking out loud the whole time, much to Meg's delight I'm sure. If I talk out loud during a show, it's a sure sign that I love it. Besides, the guy next to me was chomping on his gum so loudly the whole time I had to in order for Meg to hear me!
Are you moved to tears sometimes, not because you're sad or overly happy, but just for the sheer fact that something you're witnessing is so well done and the people performing are so dang talented? That happens to me sometimes. I just get this overwhelming feeling and want to shout or cry or something because what I'm seeing is so cleverly, beautifully, joyfully executed. All this emotion wells up inside of me and starts leaking out in the form of laughter, a huge grin, tears or me talking out loud to the person next to me! I love seeing people throw everything they have into something and give it all they've got - especially when they're really, really, really talented. That's the way I felt during this show. It all came together really well for me. Best show I've seen in a long, long time!
