CINEMASCOPE: THE HEIGHTS OF NEW YORK - Newspaper

There was a lot of excitement around the screen adaptation of Quiara Alegira Hudes and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway show In the Heights. The musical about the gentrification of Washington Heights, a predominantly Dominican and Latino neighbourhood in ‘Nueva York’, had already won its share of accolades including multiple Tony Awards and Grammys. It had also first put Miranda on the map, before he went on to create the record-smashing musical Hamilton. A celebration of togetherness, and a city and a community’s undying spirit, the much-anticipated film was slated to be the perfect moviegoing experience in 2020. But then the pandemic hit. Cinemas shuttered and New York became one of the world’s worst-affected cities.
