In The Heights is playing in theaters and the director caught some of the audience reactions on film. Lin-Manuel Miranda approached Crazy Rich Asians filmmaker Jon Chu for this musical journey. HBO Max also has the movie streaming at home, but a lot of people made the effort to get out and see it. The reviews are pouring in from all over the place. But, the initial read seems to be complimenting the visual style of In The Heights along with the musical numbers. It’s not hard to see why people are really enjoying themselves. Musicals are not a genre that get a chance to showcase itself as much anymore. Last year, when Hamilton made its big debut on Disney+, it was a big moment for the service as people flocked to see Lin-Manuel Miranda’s work. Warner Bros. is hoping for more of the same.
I snuck into some theaters tonight to see how audiences are reacting… and OH MY GAWD the time has come for REAL!!! The movies are back!!! This energy was insannnnneeeeee. You must see it to believe it!!! #InTheHeightsMovie 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/CQeDNiP8Kb
