Beck Center: "In the Heights"

Lin-Manuel Miranda stole the show at the Tonys earlier this year, when he and the cast of his groundbreaking musical Hamiltonwon 11 awards.  Here in Northeast Ohio, at The Beck Center in Lakewood in February 2016, Miranda's first Tony-winning musical In the Heights was staged.  It featured a critically-acclaimed cast made up mostly of students from Baldwin Wallace University's Music Theatre program.  In this episode of The Sound of Applause Dee Perry spotlights the young stars of "In the Heights"  featuring performances in the Key Bank studio.
