In The Heights - Washington Heights Trailer

Washington Heights: say it, so it doesn’t disappear. #InTheHeightsMovie - in theaters and streaming exclusively on @HBOMax* June 11.

The creator of “Hamilton” and the director of “Crazy Rich Asians” invite you to a cinematic event, where the streets are made of music and little dreams become big... “In the Heights.”

Lights up on Washington Heights...The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the likeable, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life.

“In the Heights” fuses Lin-Manuel Miranda’s kinetic music and lyrics with director Jon M. Chu’s lively and authentic eye for storytelling to capture a world very much of its place, but universal in its experience.

“In the Heights” stars Anthony Ramos (“A Star is Born,” Broadway’s “Hamilton”), Corey Hawkins (“Straight Outta Compton,” “BlacKkKlansman”), singer/songwriter Leslie Grace, Melissa Barrera (TV’s “Vida”), Olga Merediz (Broadway’s “In the Heights”), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Broadway’s “Rent”), Gregory Diaz IV (Broadway’s “Matilda the Musical”), Stephanie Beatriz (TV’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), Dascha Polanco (TV’s “Orange is the New Black”) and Jimmy Smits (the “Star Wars” films).

Chu directed the film from a screenplay by Quiara Alegría Hudes, based on the musical stage play, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, book by Quiara Alegría Hudes and concept by Miranda. Miranda, Hudes, Scott Sanders, Anthony Bregman and Mara Jacobs produced the film, with David Nicksay and Kevin McCormick serving as executive producers.

Behind the camera, Chu reunited with his “Crazy Rich Asians” production designer, Nelson Coates, and editor, Myron Kerstein. He also collaborated with director of photography Alice Brooks (TV’s “The Walking Dead”) and costume designer Mitchell Travers (“Eighth Grade”). Original songs by Miranda. Alex Lacamoire (“Fosse/Verdon”) and Bill Sherman (“Sesame Street”) served as executive music producers. The choreography is by Christopher Scott, who previously teamed with Chu on the award-winning “The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers.”
“In the Heights” was filmed in New York, primarily on location in the dynamic community of Washington Heights.

Warner Bros. Pictures presents a 5000 Broadway / Barrio Grrrl! / Likely Story / SGS Pictures Production, A Jon M. Chu Film, “In the Heights.” Slated to open on June 18, 2021 in theaters and on HBO Max, the film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.

[anthonyvillanueva]

[weirdo_simp]

I Lived In Washington Heights During My childhood. Me Being a very Shy Japanese Child, I Literally Thought I wasn't gonna survive. It was Thanks to The Hispanic and African American Community that i found where i was, We had cookouts with the local venders, i tried food that i never even knew about, and i got to learn a lot from their cultures.

[ZzzzzZ.]

as a young latino who sometimes feels lost in the world, this trailer really pulled my heartstrings man cant wait

[ameliec.]

As a Latina I’m glad we’re getting representation in a movie musical (but like... not as gangsters lol) :D

[Anggelos]

This man makes musicals with purpose. It does not feel forced. Acting and singing compliment each other.

[doublefeatures]

The editing in this trailer is chef's kiss

[snowdropjjong]

It's weird to see this trailer again. When I first heard of this movie about a year ago I showed it to my dad. He was excited to see me so excited about a movie/musical about Latin Americans. He promised we'd see it together when it came out. I'll keep that promise for the both of us. I just wish he would of been able to see it.

[matthewmayhem]

Why do people keep saying "I may not be Latino, but...?" Why do you or do you not have to be Latino? Anyone can relate to any movie for any reason whatsoever. Your ethnicity nor nationality determine whether you like something or not. I find that more nauseating than simply saying "this movie looks good, I'm going to see it!"

[amorosoo_]

tf is wrong with me, i'm sobbing AND IT IS JUST A TRAILER

[carlpucl]

I LOVE that Lin is the Piragua Guy! In 30 years when they do a remake he can be Abuela Claudia.

[animed]

I was in In The Heights as ensemble, but it totally worth it. In this musical, I think you don't need a main role to be a part of the story. It's a story about everyone. I hope they can do the same thing in the movie

[Kath_Steele]

I feel like this trailer really captures the energy of the musical....June 18th can't come soon enough!! 😭🧡

[OurKindofEntertainment]

"Alright, alright
That's what I'm talkin' about!!!"

[wrightsisters]

I’m not Latina but I love musical theatre and in the heights, I respect the culture and is proud your people are being represented. I can’t wait for it to come out!!

[raquelregalado]

My Latino people finally being represented. From the Caribbean to North, central and south America love my people! Shout to the our Native American borthers and sisters too and our afro famiilies!

Look at Phillip all grown up with his rap songs in the country his father made for him.
