Before there was Hamilton there was In the Heights, a musical by Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and Quiara Alegría Hudes about a hot summer tear through the streets of Washington Heights, where music and dreams drive the pulse of a multifaceted Latinx community. Here in the hands of Crazy Rich Asians (2018) director John M. Chu, that Tony Award®–winning play takes on a kinetic yet intimate feel as crowds break into song, or have dance-offs and rap-offs. The narrative revolves around Usnavi, a bodega owner who longs to go back to his native Dominican Republic. In the meantime, Usnavi spends his time in a small enclave in the Heights pining after Vanessa, a comely beauty salon employee; looking after Abuela Claudia, the elderly Cuban lady living next door who raised him; and spending time with childhood friend Nina, who comes back from college with a secret.
Films are screened with open captions, unless otherwise stated. For questions about accessibility or to request an accommodation, please contact the Accessibility Office at (202) 416-8727 or [email protected]
