Based on the famed Broadway musical of the same name, "In the Heights," is a 2021 movie directed by John M. Chu (of "Crazy Rich Asians (2018)" fame). The movie originated from the 2007 Tony Award-winning musical, written by Quiara Alegría Hudes and composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda (of "Hamilton" fame).
Miranda, who is also amongst the film's cast, was recently part of his own massively popular musical-turned film, "Hamilton."
"In the Heights" was delayed by almost a year after its theatrical release was abrupted by COVID lockdowns. The film has already won three Midseason Awards for Best Picture, Best Filmmaker (John M. Chu), and Best Actor (Anthony Ramos).
