"When You're Home"

Onstage now at The Beck Center in Lakewood is the 2008 Tony-Award-winner - In the Heights - staged in partnership with Baldwin Wallace University's Music Theatre Department.  Recently Dee welcomed cast members to our Key Bank studio at Idea Center in Playhouse Square to perform songs from the show.  Here are B-W students Malik Victorian as "Benny" and Livvy Marcus as "Nina" - the two young lovers of In the Heights.  Listen how this five-minute song tells a story that both reflects the sadness Nina is experiencing after dropping out of Stanford and the joy they both share in the memories of simpler times.
