From “(the upper) West Side Story’ to “In the (Washington) Heights,” I see expansion and gentrification. The next musical, in another fifty years, will for sure be out of Manhattan. I’m thinking Flushing…
The music is a mix of rap, Latin, and R&B but there isn't a memorable song. The only dance number worth mentioning is the swimming pool (96g) scene. The musical wants to convey social economic problems such as immigration, racism, and gentrification to its audience. Honestly I doubt the messages would get through such busy a movie.
