"In the Heights" Review
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.

Taiwanese pop diva A-mei Chang took on a "new" persona with her 2009 album Amit, embracing her aboriginal roots while alluding to a change of course for her music career. Towards the end of the year, she embarked on her first world tour as her captivating alter ego, bringing a series of spectacular shows to Taiwan, Mainland China, Macau, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and Japan. Supported by a live band consisting of internationally acclaimed musicians, Amit has treated listeners to her renditions of over 30 new and classic songs, many of which re-arranged to give a cool fresh punk/rock edge.
