It’s here! Jubilant, unapologetically massive, and bursting with a cozy, melancholic sense of communal  belonging. It’s simply an overwhelming experience.

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical, IN THE HEIGHTS, comes to the screen as an exuberant and heartfelt party. It’s a piece of mainstream American entertainment in the best sense – an assertion of impatience and faith, a celebration of communal ties and individual gumption, a testimony to the power of art to turn struggles into the stuff of dreams.
