"Before Hamilton became a global phenomenon and Lin-Manuel Miranda became a household name, a little show calledIn the Heights shook up Broadway with its hip-hop and salsa soundtrack and its big, bilingual heart. In the new book In the Heights: Finding Home, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Quiara Alegria Hudes, and Jeremy McCarter tell the story of the show’s humble beginnings, from rehearsals in a bookstore basement to the Broadway smash (and soon-to-be feature film!) that created an unbreakable community and a new kind of family for everyone involved.
Join Main Street Books and Miranda, Hudes, and McCarter for a very special In the Heights Virtual Book Launch on Tuesday, June 15 from 8:00 to 9:00pm ET on Zoom. Sure to be an unforgettable conversation on creativity, community, and finding home, this is your chance to hear directly from the creative team behind the timeless story of how one neighborhood—Washington Heights—can speak to the world."
Tickets for the event may be purchased here. Main Street Books is located at 126 S. Main Street in Davidson.
