FROM THE STAGE DIRECTOR

In the Heights comes to us as the early work of the amazing Lin Manel Miranda, known to many as the writer and star of the musical Hamilton. Lin wrote In the Heights as a school project and it turned into a Broadway hit. As a show, it’s set in a specific area in New York City, the upper island of Manhattan, with characters not related necessarily by blood, but my home, community, friendship, hopes, and dreams. I think anyone can relate to calling the community and people who surround you as “home”. Though the show’s heart is centered around a specific Latin community, this story will resonate with anyone’s culture: “Family comes first,” although family doesn’t mean the people you are “related to,” but the human beings you call when are you down. These humans remind you that you ARE “Home,” to “Just Breath,” and yes, that you take your coffee with “a little bit of cinnamon!”

As the director of a piece I am so passionate about, I have been honored to share this story with the beautiful people of Salt Lake City. The wonderful people I met here have welcomed me with open arms and showed me the true meaning of acceptance. That’s love!! Beyond that, the cast of characters (meaning the extremely talented actors) on this stage have given their all at every single rehearsal to show SLC the meaning of “FAMILIA!” It’s been an honor being in the same room as each and every one of them.

I hope everyone will be touched with the spirit of In the Heights. That’s your laugh along with this funny cast of characters. You will get emotional, and yes, even dance to this amazing music. Enjoy and “Alabanza!” Oh and “WEPA!!

ONIAS SNUKA (Benny) reminds us that “it is said when emotion becomes too strong for speech, you sing: and when it becomes too strong for song, you dance.” Onias feels this connection to the production, it’s music, and above all the message of In the Heights that no matter how relatively small or large your dream is, own it. And embrace your roots as you pursue that dream.
