Once a year, PTC produces a concert version of a musical, but this year's "In the Heights," which the company performed in full in 2012, is more of a staged concert, with moving sets, plenty of dancing, action and a live band on stage. Miranda’s first Broadway musical, set in his native Manhattan, follows a group of predominately Hispanic-American residents in the Washington Heights neighborhood, which includes a young bodega owner named - somewhat unfortunately - Usnavi De La Vega (named after a passing ship) Vanessa, the young woman he pines after Nina Rosario, the neighborhood's golden girl who just returned from her first year at Stanford and Benny, Nina's father's employee who just might be in love with her. It seems a little disrespectful to "In the Heights" to bring up its mega-hit offspring - it is, after all, a solid hit in its own right - but the comparison is inevitable.
