In the Heights
 
Maddie's off to DC, Philly and NY in two weeks. While they're in NY they're going to see In the Heights. Anyone have any info on it?

I believe it's a hip hop version of Wuthering Heights.

Excellent - thank you. I'll try and get her the soundtrack before she goes. It's always more fun to see something when you kind of know what's going on ahead of time.

I've never heard that assessment. I'm not familiar with the plot of Wuthering Heights, but Wikipedia has a synopsis, perhaps you could compare.

I do know it won several 2008 Tony awards: Best Musical, Best Score, Best Choreographer, and Best Orchestrations.

I was just guessing, but I have a feeling I'd like my concept better.

Classic old movies, especially ones with melodramatic heroines, are The Gay©.

(Besides... young hunky Laurence Olivier... Need I say more?)
