Bold, vivid and bursting with life, In the Heights is a rousing celebration of community, culture, heritage and pride.
Director Jon M. Chu ( Crazy Rich Asians ) makes Lin-Manuel Miranda s pre- Hamilton stage musical come alive in a big way. This is a movie with pulse, and it transports you to the upper Manhattan neighborhood for which it is named. You can feel the concrete beneath your feet and the heat in the summertime air, and you can feel its rhythm in your bones. In the Heights makes you want to stand up and sing.
