You Can Now Watch The First 8 Minutes Of 'In The Heights': See It

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY — It is not an official designation, but it might as well be "In The Heights" week in New York City. The hugely-anticipated film version of Lin Manuel Miranda's Broadway hit about the Washington Heights neighborhood is opening the Tribeca Film Festival on Wednesday and making its world premiere in theaters and HBO Max on Thursday.

Importantly, many publications are still listing the film's premiere date as June 11, but it has been moved up from Friday to Thursday.

Patch will keep you up to date with all the news surrounding what might be the summer's most anticipated film, and Sunday night Warner Bros Pictures posted a video of the first eight minutes of "In The Heights."

Star of the film Anthony Ramos, takes you through the first song of the movie in the role that Miranda made famous on Broadway. If you watch closely, you'll spot Miranda in the opening few minutes.

You can watch 'In The Heights' through HBO Max here, but it will also be showing at most theaters throughout New York City on Thursday.

The Tribeca Film Festival is doing things a little differently in 2021 by using multiple venues all across the city for screenings of this year's films. The festival will kick off Wednesday with a world premiere screening of "In the Heights" at the United Palace Theater in Washington Heights and across the other outdoor festival venues simultaneously.

All the opening night screenings of "In The Heights" are sold out, but you can find out more about how the festival is presenting the movie on Tribeca Film's website. You can find more general information about the festival here.
