First Look! A Sneak Peek of Idol Jordin Sparks as She Hits The Heights

On August 19, a new girl moved into the vibrant neighborhood at Tony-winning hit In the Heights: American Idol winner Jordin Sparks. Sparks, known for her hits "Battlefield" and "No Air," stepped into the role of sweet college girl Nina Rosario, who returns to Washington Heights for a particularly eventful summer vacation. We've got a quick peek of fresh-faced Sparks (just 19 years old!) in the production at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, strolling along with onstage love interest Clifton Oliver (a.k.a. In the Heights' Benny) and kicking back on the stoop with Tony Award nominee Olga Merediz (better known as Abuela Claudia). A picture perfect Nina? You better believe it.
