this is my all-time favorite musical I hope they nail it. Songs I don't mind them cutting "inutil" and " Enough" I always felt that they were weak songs and could be replaced with dialogue

[@QuikVidGuy]

I don't know if I could avoid singing "We both know what a son of a bitch he was."

[@flusel4949]

I would also agree that they aren‘t the strongest songs in the show, but I really love their messages! For me Inutil is a perfect description of how my mum wanted more from her life and managed to build a successful business mostly on her own and I also love the message of Enough, that Nina would always have a place and a family to come home too. I also think that those two things should be expressed musically, but I wouldn‘t mind if they changed the songs a bit...

[@anastapatsak]

Nooo, Inutil is one of those songs that I can't listen to without crying my eyes out.. So underrated

[@carinacook8923]

Sorry...but these both give very good character development for Nina's parents...they can't be cut. It's also really cool as a latina...like to see Nina's Mami go off is awesome

[@ivanamper5323]

Kind of hate that they cut nina's mom in the movie honestly

[@josjoererg]

As someone who lives in Washington Heights, I am honestly so excited. I kid you not, I see any scene filmed in a place I go to, and I scream out loud. The show even references my apartment building and the parks I grew up at, and it's really nice to see that. The depiction of the neighborhood is mostly accurate, which I'm glad it is because I was worried it wouldn't be.

[@londongirl2768]

Something I really love about the show is that he doesn’t actually leave the heights, he decides to build his life there instead. So I’m a bit concerned that he appears to be in the Dominican Republic in the trailers, because I love the existing ending

[@manuelorozco7760]

Maybe its an epilogue where he moves back a few years later

[@gabrielapinheiroa.dantas7469]

This. I really liked the message of him staying and realizing his home can be where he is and where he made all those friends who became family, as well as deciding to keep the memories of those people alive. I love the musical and think I'll love the movie too, but that ending was so good and I'm kinda concerned about this one...

[@nickg5341]

It’s probably a fantasy sequence during Hundreds of Stories

[@ivanamper5323]

I think he didn't actually moved back to the DR because we see the exact kids in both in the beach scene and in the fire hydrant scene so maybe he is imagining what would happen if he actually moved even though he didn't

One thing that concerns me about the movie is that it seems like Usnavi is telling the story from the future in what I'm assuming to be a beach in D.R. That implies that he did end up leaving the neighborhood, even though him deciding to stay was the climax of the musical. Just gonna have to wait and see how it turns out.

[@manuelorozco7760]

You mean the resolution. I'm guessing its an epilogue scene

[@chrish1170]

It's definitely a fantasy sequence. You see the same kids running through the fire hydrant spray. If you remember the lyrics in the final song, Usnavi sings "that hydrant is a beach, that siren is a breeze, that fire escape's a leaf on a palm tree", i think the implication is that the movie will open on the beach to trick us into thinking Usnavi moves there, but the final song will reveal it is actually imaginary.

Mild Spoiler Warning One thing I loved is the scene of Usnavi talking to the little kids, telling them the story of Washington Heights, "so it doesn't disappear". It's a lovely touch that fits with the shows themes of remembering where you come from, the places that make you you, and keeping part of your past with you wherever you go. What I can't decide on though, is my feelings on the implication in this scene that he actually did leave Washington Heights, when his decision to stay and accept The Heights as his true home feels like such a key, complete moment at the end of the show

[@r_ravenclaw]

​What I think is that they are going to try to set it up so that the audience thinks he's leaving, but then at the end we find out it that scene was a dream/thought/another place/a short visit or something. Because I doubt Lin will let them change that ending.

So we’ll be watching it and thinking of her friend and pour one out for him as we celebrate. This musical is such a cornerstone of my journey towards loving musical theatre. Sorry tangent time I know this is already long but I just remember being in 11th grade and going to see it with my high school drama class in Seattle at the 5th ave theatre. And I STILL vividly remember when the lights went out right before Blackout. The way the whole theatre went quiet, like we were all holding our breath, confused, a little scared, excited. And just to hear their voices puncture out of the darkness like cries for help as they sang about being powerless..... like fucking damn. It doesn’t get much more powerful than that.

I almost cried when they showed the Dominican flag because we don’t get a lot of rep in the media

I absolutely loved the new trailers! I was stoked from the first trailer; but now, with these two new trailers, I am absolutely pumped! On top of that, it’s coming out on my birthday!! 🎂

[@manuelorozco7760]

I think the first trailer is better

ITH is my favorite musical of all time and it means so much to me as a POC and it being the 2nd musical I got to be a part of. I already know I'm going to cry when it comes out, I'm so excited!

As someone who lives in a very small town in Spain, which isn't really a "musical" country at all, I absolutely loved theese trailers. I'm an inmigrant and the whole vibe of In The Heights strikes a very particular chord in me

(SPOILERS you have been warned) I saw it last weekend at an advanced screening and i LOVED it! It feels very human, like it feels like someone happened to record these people living their lives. They didn't feel like characters at all, and I genuinely cried when Abuela Claudia died. Washington Heights really feels like a actual neighborhood and the costumes feel look like something those characters would actually wear. The acting is superb and all the singing and choreography is beautiful. Also there's a little bit of wlw representation! It's subtle but there if you look for it. I think my only critique would be that suspension of disbelief is different between the stage and a movie so the ending of songs where the audience would clap felt awkward sometimes and I don't love the way it's set up. Like it's set up as Usnavi telling the story of Washington Heights to these kids and they're on a beach which at some point makes you think that you know the ending but there's a twist and it just felt less impactful? It made Usnavi telling the story feel weird because how could these kids not know the story of their neighborhood and at one point it makes you think that they don't know it's name, which I think is just one of those things that shifted weird from stage to screen. Edit: Patrick Page is in it too! The only white dude... He doesn't play a big role but he definitely adds drama Edit 2: The vibe between celebration and defeatist is fine in the movie. It's kind of like even when we struggle, we still have our people, our home, our culture to comfort us and no matter how much the system is rigged against us because we're immigrants and poc, we will shout who we are from the rooftops. Edit 3: (jesus I have a lot to say) It also depicts more modern/recent struggles of undocumented citizens, immigrants, second generation immigrants, and the lower class. It doesn't feel ham-fisted and fleshes out some characters really nicely.
