  ‘‘When this musical erupts in one of its expressions of collective joy, the energy it gives off could light up the George Washington Bridge for a year or two.’’

  ‘‘Blending hip-hop, rap, jazz, pop, salsa and merengue, this buoyant musical also nods reverently to the traditions of the show tune. An uncalculated charmer.’’

  ‘‘A groundbreaking 21st-century musical. This extraordinary blend of old and new pushed the sound of Broadway deeper into new territory.’’

  ‘‘In the Heights pulses to a joyful new beat, and youthfulness has its advantages. It made me think of  a much earlier valentine to to a New York neighborhood: Wonderful Town.’’
