Felipe Garcia follows up his successful production of Our Lady of the Tortilla by taking on Lin-Manual Miranda and Quiara Alegría Hudes’ rip-roaring musical set on the hottest night of the hottest summer in New York’s Washington Heights. Life between Dyckman and 155th is brought to the Palace Theatre’s stage in thrilling and colorful fashion for this story of the music, culture, and community made by Little Dominican Republic. – Richard Whittaker
