In The Heights - What We Know So Far

In case you haven't had the pleasure of watching "In the Heights" performed on stage, the musical follows bodega owner, Usnavi, who dreams of one day earning enough money to go back to his native Dominican Republic. While he grinds every day, he cares for his elderly neighbor and pines for the beautiful girl who works at the beauty salon nearby. Meanwhile, there's Nina (Grace) who returns to the neighborhood she grew up in after her first year of college, and while she longs to be in a relationship with Benny (Hawkins) and give up her college dreams, her parents oppose that idea entirely because they want her to lead a successful career. They're even prepared to go bankrupt to do so. 

Even if you're already familiar with the musical, there are still bound to be a few surprises in store given the fact Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote a new song just for the film (via Broadway World). Keep an eye out for it as the movie releases on June 11, and be prepared for people to become just as obsessed with it as they were for "Hamilton."
