In the Heights, Lin-Manuel Miranda's groundbreaking Broadway debut, written with Quiara Alegría Hudes, has become a Hollywood blockbuster. This captivating book offers a unique insiders' perspective on the creation of the show, spanning nearly half of Miranda's life.

The show received four Tony Awards and achieved international acclaim, delighting audiences worldwide.

For the film adaptation, director Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians) brought the story to life, capturing the breathtaking dance sequences in Washington Heights itself. Usnavi, Nina, and their neighbors embark on a journey of self-discovery, asking the universal question: Where do I belong?
