UB Film Spotlight: ‘In the Heights’ in Theaters + HBO Max Thursday

From Warner Bros. Pictures comes “In the Heights,” in theaters and on HBO Max this Thursday, June 10th.

“In the Heights” fuses Lin-Manuel Miranda’s kinetic music and lyrics with director Jon M. Chu’s lively and authentic eye for storytelling to capture a world very much of its place, but universal in its experience, where the streets are made of music and little dreams become big.

The film stars Anthony Ramos, Corey Hawkins, singer/songwriter Leslie Grace, Melissa Barrera, Olga Merediz, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Gregory Diaz IV, Stephanie Beatriz, Dascha Polanco, singer Marc Anthony and legendary actor Jimmy Smits.

Chu directed the film from a screenplay by Quiara Alegría Hudes, based on the musical stage play, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, book by Quiara Alegría Hudes and concept by Miranda.

Check out the UB Film Spotlight with a musical clip from the film, “If I Won The Lotto.” Plus a new spot that features global superstars, such as Oprah Winfrey, Dwayne Johnson and more praising the new movie.
