A new Broadway production providing a snapshot about Latino families in New York's Dominican enclave Washington Heights topped the Tony Award nominations with 13, including two for Puerto Rican Lin-Manuel Miranda, the musical's 28-year old composer and star. "In the Heights" has gotten very good reviews for its cast, dancing and for its tale of hope and self-discovery. The show is rap, hip-hop and salsa flavored. The winners will be announced at the 62nd annual Tony awards ceremony on June 15 at Radio City Music Hall, which will be hosted by Whoopi Goldberg. The musical began last year off-Broadway before moving to the big time.
Dominican Life on Broadway..."In the Heights" leads Tony Awards! Congratulations!
