Hamilton might have made writer/composer/actor Lin-Manuel Miranda a household name, but he first revolutionised Broadway with his 2008 show In the Heights. González is the beating heart of In the Heights and having played the role previously, their characterisation is full of humour and heart. Ngali Shaw is a newcomer to musical theatre, having previously worked in TV and theatre, and as Benny he is a standout in this production. This production delivers in spades, leaving you dancing in your seat and stepping back into the real world utterly exhilarated. In the Heights is at the Comedy Theatre in Melbourne until 1 September 2025 before touring to the Gold Coast at HOTA from 12-24 September.
