IN THE HEIGHTS!!!



'IN THE HEIGHTS'
Winner of TONY AWARD 2008.

When they won the award, I was in NY and I went to see the moment in Radio City!

The musical is set in Washington Heights.

Yes, where I lived!!!
What a strange chance.

The story is about immigrants from Latin America.


I liked buying coffee and sandwich in a bakery which latino ran next to the station.
There were beauty salons which are look like one in the musical.

Washington Heights was always energetic.
I felt latin peoples atmosphere everywhere.

Their life, their history, reality of NYC.... their patriotism, then their future.

I was touched.
The music and dance also amazing!!!

BTW,
I couldn't understand the story more than half when I saw the musical in NY, but I could see it with subtitles today♪ So I finally understood every single word!!!! 

Thank you for coming to Japan!!!
