Theatre nerds REJOICE!!! The trailer for In The Heights has dropped and oh my god it’s amazing!
The play synopsis is this:
In the hispanic community of Manhattan’s Washington Heights, bodega owner Usnavi is dating Vanessa, who works in a beauty salon. He dreams of opening a bar in his home country, the Dominican Republic. Nina loves Benny, a shy young man who has worked for Nina’s parents for years, but her father opposes their union because he wants Nina to finish her education at Stanford University. She doesn’t want her father to bankrupt himself paying for the expensive school, but her father is prepared to sell his car-service business. “Abuela” Claudia, who raised Usnavi after the death of his parents, wins $96,000 in a numbers game.
This play was written by Lin Manuel Miranda (Writer of Hamilton) and this movie was directed by John M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians). In The Heights is set to release summer of 2020.
