In The Heights: Leslie Grace on her starring role in the Lin-Manuel Miranda story
Leslie Grace, centre, in a scene from In The Heights, with Stephanie Beatriz, Dascha Polanco and Daphne Rubin-Vega.
It’s the New York musical that beguiled audiences, the show that became a smash on Broadway and now a big-screen adaptation. Long before Lin-Manuel Miranda developed Hamilton, he became known in musical theatre for In the Heights, his first onstage hit.
The story celebrates the dreams and ambitions of a group of residents in the city’s Washington Heights. Produced by Miranda - who co-wrote the stage musical - it comes to cinemas amid strong early reviews.
