The full season of the resident Equity company in Salt Lake City is expected to be announced May 1, but the popular title leaked out in a casting notice released in recent days. The sentimental, rhythmic and romantic musical about the vibrant and diverse Latino community in northern Manhattan has a Tony-winning score by Lin-Manuel Miranda and a Tony-nominated book by Quiara Alegria Hudes, who just won the Pulitzer Prize for Water By the Spoonful. In the Heights was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
In the Heights will play the Elizabeth E. Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre Sept. 14-29. Guest director Matt August will direct the production, Bob Richard will choreograph and Helen Gregory will be the musical director. Casting is ongoing.
