We are SO excited that the Tony Award-winning musical In the Heights is coming here to The Bushnell in January 2010 - and your chance to get a little taste of the show is coming up on Wednesday, May 27 at 8 p.m. when CPTV airs "In the Heights: Chasing Broadway Dreams."

This is your chance to see the eight-year journey that will chronicle the beginnings of the show, when creator Lin-Manuel Miranda began writing it as a student at Wesleyan University in Middletown, to its crowning glory as BEST MUSICAL at the 2008 Tony Awards - not bad for a musical set outside a bodega in the Latino neighborhood of Washington Heights that was thought to be a risky endeavor in the world of musical theater.

Check out the special, and you'll see why we are so excited it's coming to Hartford!
