Lin Manuel Miranda and Jon M. Chu are celebrating the film's release early.
Lin Manuel-Miranda's Tony-Award-winning musical In The Heights is finally headed to the big screen this week, and we can barely contain our excitement.

The official description reads:
"Lights up on Washington Heights, a world very much of its place, but universal in its experience, where the streets are made of music and little dreams become big... The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the likeable, magnetic bodega owner Usnavi, who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life."
In The Heights premieres June 10 in theaters and on HBO Max for 31 days after theatrical release. Watch the first 8 minutes and trailer below:
