So much anticipation for tomorrow’s debut of the highly anticipated film adaptation of the Tony and Grammy winning smash hit
In The Heights in Theaters and
HBO Max out tomorrow.
This show has had an unforgettable journey making the big jump from the stage to the big screen. The life in the BARRIO really began in our New York Broadway scene for a 3 1/2 year run at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.
Little throwback to the show’s historical 1,184th and final performance on the Great Bright Way. Check out the cast performing the show’s finale that erupted into a thunderous standing ovation, the final curtain call, and a closing night speech rapped by HEIGHTS creator and original star
Lin-Manuel Miranda.
If the film does well, can you possibly see a revival of IN THE HEIGHTS on Broadway?!!!!
Who remembers this closing night?!!
