Lin-Manuel Miranda, the Tony Award-winning creator, original star, and composer of the musical In the Heights, will star as Usnavi in the musical’s national tour stop in San Juan from November 30-December 5 at the Centro de Bellas Artes, according to The New York Times.
The production is directed by Thomas Kail and features choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler. The show, which has a book by Quiara Alegría Hudes, focuses on the tight-knit community at the top of the island of Manhattan and the hopes and dreams of three generations as they struggle to forge an identity in a neighborhood on the brink of transition.
As previously reported, Miranda will also reprise his performance as Usnavi for the final 19 performances of the show’s Broadway run, beginning December 25.
Meanwhile, after the tour plays San Juan, it will make its next stop in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
