4. See NYC in Boston at In The Heights 1/12-1/24/10

Picture 27Finally, a musical about the importance of family, home, and finding where you belong in this world, 4 time Tony Award winner In the Heights is welcomed to the stage at Boston’s Opera House.

This is the story about a lively community in Manhattan’s Washington Heights that is on the brink of change. In The Heights takes the rock element of Rent, but adds a twist of hip-hop and salsa to make this coming of age story inspiring, energetic, and completely unique from the other Broadway hits.

“Wicked”

The Wizard of Oz is as passé as Dorothy whining and keeping someone else’s ruby slippers. The Broadway Musical Wicked takes the audience back, way before Dorothy, to the building relationship between magic boarding school roommates, Wicked Witch of the West aka Elphaba and Glinda later named the Good Witch. It is a story of popularity, love and a very unlikely friendship. Wicked breaks down everything the audience thinks they know about the Wicked Witch of the West and makes them fall in love with Elphaba.

The unforgettable music of Stephen Schwartz and choreography by Wayne Cilento led Wicked to 3 Tony wins and 10 Tony nominations. Other awards include industry elite Drama League, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Awards. Wicked is family friendly yet movingly magical for all ages.
