Lehi High School Drama Department Presents “In The Heights”

Ensemble players from “In The Heights” presented by LHS drama department.

“In the Heights,” directed by Mindy Nelsen, is a musical with music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, and a book by Quiara Alegría Hudes. The story is set over the course of three days, involving an ensemble cast of characters in the largely Dominican-American neighborhood of Washington Heights in New York City.

Lead actors Andrew James Tesch “Benny” and Maddie Beck “Nina” share an on-stage kiss.

Dozens of Lehi High School drama students participated in the production, which ran through this week. According to one enthusiastic parent who attended, “I laughed, I cried, I stood up and cheered at the end!”
