PSF's "In the Heights" is thrilling and vibrant
Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festivals "In The Heights" is a buoyant, exuberant and vibrant musical that pulsates with energy. "In the Heights," on the Main Stage at Labuda Center for the Performing Arts, DeSales University, Center Valley through July 2, boasts strong performances, soaring voices, thrilling dancing and spot-on direction.
As Usnavi, the bodega owner at the heart of the piece, Ryan Reyes is shyly charming as he wraps his tongue around Lin-Manuel Mirandas rapid-fire rap with ease, particularly in the opening title number in which he introduces the residents of his neighborhood in New Yorks Washington Heights.
