No, I haven't SEEN "In The Heights," the new musical about life for Latinos in Washington Heights. But, from what I hear, it's a very happy, positive, show, with a lot of energy, and such. But what I ALSO hear is that there is not really a conflict in the plot.
That's....not good.
Now, when I say conflict, I mean a REAL conflict, not like some minor plot element that seems negative to a character's motivation, if you get what I'm saying. In my opinion, if a show doesn't have a major conflict within itself, then, what direction is the show going to go in? You can't just have everything going well for the characters, and just have their accomplishments as the basis for the plot.
Hopefully, I'll get a chance to see "Heights," so I can bring some validity to this claim. Until then, speculation all around.....
