Lin-Manuel Miranda is giving us a glimpse into a couple of days in the life of what it’s like in Washington Heights with the first trailer for the movie musical In The Heights, based on Miranda’s Broadway musical of the same name.
In The Heights unfolds over the course of three days and tells the story of a largely Hispanic neighborhood in New York City. Anthony Ramos stars and is joined by Corey Hawkins, Jimmy Smits, Melissa Barrera, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Dascha Polanco and Stephanie Beatriz.
In The Heights came before the mega-success that Miranda had with Hamilton on Broadway. During its original run on the Great White Way in 2008, the show was nominated for 13 Tony Awards, ultimately winning four including best musical.
The film adaptation, helmed by Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu, hits screens June 26, 2020. Check out the official poster below.
