In the Heights: The Complete Book and Lyrics of the Broadway Musical by Quiara Alegría Hudes, Lin-Manuel Miranda
4.0
I love the music, but it was nice to see it all in book form, along with the dialogue that doesn't show up on the OBC album.
I have to say though- as a book this is nothing when compared to the Hamiltome. It's a small paperback with just a tiny collection of photos in the middle, and other than a brief intro, it doesn't have any extras. No story of the show and how it came to be, no footnotes, no anecdotes. It's pretty bare bones.
But that is not a reflection at all upon the story or the music- just that the book itself is small and plain.
