GREAT PERFORMANCES: “IN THE HEIGHTS: CHASING BROADWAY DREAMS”
PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET
In 2008, In the Heights won the Tony as Best Musical, serving notice that the composer and star of the show, a young man named Lin-Manuel Miranda, was a Broadway force to keep track of. In years, he and In the Heights co-star Chris Jackson would reunite for Hamilton, which… well, you know the rest of that story. But Miranda’s Broadway success story begins here, captured by a 2009 Great Performances special that charts the path of Heights from initial premise to Broadway triumph. That program is repeated tonight as part of the PBS summer series “Broadway at Home.” Check local listings.
