In the Heights is the new musical film based on the Tony-winning stage musical by Quiara Alegría Hudes and Lin Manuel Miranda. The musical tells the story of the people in living Washington Heights, “where the streets are made of music.” The main character Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), a bodega owner, has saved up every penny to find a better life. Usnavi’s dreams and love for his home pull him in two different directions. Should he stay the vibrant community of the Heights or retire and move on to bigger things?
In the Heights premieres on HBO Max for a month and in theaters on June 10.

Read
The No. 1 New York Times bestselling novel The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave is the perfect mystery read for the summer. Hannah Hall’s husband Owen disappears without a trace, leaving her no explanation, only a note that reads, “Protect her.” The plot follows Hannah and Owen’s daughter Bailey as they set out to discover the truth of who Owen really was.
“What starts as an intimate meditation on found families deftly turns into a heart-pounding mystery reminiscent of the best true crime stories. But both work so beautifully in this gripping, perfectly-paced novel. I dare you to stop reading,” says Susie Yang, New York Times bestselling author of White Ivy.
