Oh my goodness! Saw this in the theater last night and what a joy! Fantastic cast, amazing music and the dancing! Made it hard to stay on my seat! It is incredible on the large screen so if you are comfortable doing so, I recommend seeing it in the theatre. My heart is so full after seeing this!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Soubhiville I‘m seeing it with a friend today. I‘m glad you liked it so much! 3y
mdemanatee I‘m seeing it tonight. Have been listening to the Broadway cast so much the last year and have held out on listening to the new album til I see (even if the dramaturg in me has peeped the track list to determine structural changes for a new medium 😂) 3y
JamieArc We saw this last night too. It was our first time in the theater in a year and a half. It was fun to watch! 3y
readordierachel Yay! So excited to see this. 3y

I read In the Heights while listening to the soundtrack, a method I'd highly recommend. I cannot wait to watch the film this summer!⠀

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony Award-winning musical was his first, preceding Hamilton. This one is set in Washington Heights, a block in New York where we meet Usnavi, the owner of a coffee shop; the Rosarios, whose daughter, Nina, has made it out, to Stanford; and Abuela Claudia, who raised Usnavi. ⬇️

UnabridgedPod Anchored and lifted by dreams both ambitious and simple, the characters swirl around each other, gossiping and hoping and yearning to be better. It's just gorgeous!⠀

Who else plans to watch the movie? Has anyone seen the musical?

I freely admit it ... I am a total Lin-Manuel Miranda stan. He is (imho) a bona fide genius. And not altogether bad looking either 😉

I am beyond excited about the movie version of In The Heights, due for release next year. Especially as Lin is playing Piragua Guy. So I treated myself to this book that I've wanted for ages to prepare myself (gotta know all the words!)

mom2bugnbee Will you forgive me a mom brag for a moment? ☺ My 14yo daughter is a professional vocal track recorder. She recently finished the rehearsal track for Moana, Jr. (will be released in the next year or two) and the kids involved learned that LMM will listen to it before release since he wrote many of the songs. She got in the car, wide-eyed, & said "Mom. LMM is gonna hear me sing." *squeeeeeeeeeeeeee* 5y

What an incredible night of dance, song, acting- my niece was assistant choreographer as well as acted, sang & danced in this high energy performance. Just loved every minute of it; did not want it to end. Friday‘s performance rated A shout out on fb from Mandy Gonzalez & Tweets from Lin-Manual.

So my fortune (see last post) kinda came true 😉 I got to meet some of the cast from the show last night! While I was making my way through the crowd, one of the producers pulled me aside when she heard we traveled from SA and talked to us for a bit. It was a great experience! If anyone is able to get to Laredo, TX for the last two shows on the 4th and 5th, do it!!! #ReadingResolutions #Friends

LiteraryinLawrence I love that musical so much, too! 💜 6y
ginganinja Yasss! The Milwaukee Repertory is doing this one in the fall and I can't wait!! 6y

Your friendly neighborhood book purchase suggester strikes again! 😏🇵🇷☕️ #mysapl #intheheights

DGRachel Does your library automatically put you on the hold list for books you suggest? Mine doesn‘t, which I really hate. 😔 6y
MatchlessMarie In the email they send there is a link to put the book on hold so I just do that as soon as I get the email. (edited) 6y
