REVIEWS
Lehigh Valley Press News
“It’s spectacular. The PSF production of the Tony Award-winning show, with music and lyrics conceived by Lin-Manuel Miranda, and book by Quiara Alegria Hudes, is top-notch in every department. It’s Broadway in Center Valley. Director Valeria Cossu pays attention to detail. When actors are in a main scene, other actors make busy on the side in the salon, bodega or fire escape. Cossu carefully modulates the story of Washington Heights, New York City, Latino-Americans dealing with the day- to-day, dreams sparkling like champagne in their eyes, hope harbored in their hearts.”
