In The Heights character posters

Warner Bros. Pictures just released the character posters of the cast of the In The Heights movie, directed by Jon Chu (Crazy Rich Asians) and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Check out Usnavi, Vanessa and the neighbors of Washington Heights in these photos:

In The Heights tells the story of the block of Washington Heights, where a kaleidoscope of dreams and passion rallies in this vibrant community. A magnetic bodega owner Usnavi collects his memories and sings of hopes, dreams and imagination as he saves his every penny in his daily grind. 

“In the Heights” fuses Lin-Manuel Miranda’s kinetic music and lyrics with director Jon M. Chu’s lively and authentic eye for storytelling to capture a world very much of its place, but universal in its experience.

“In the Heights” stars Anthony Ramos (“A Star is Born,” Broadway’s “Hamilton”), Corey Hawkins (“Straight Outta Compton,” “BlacKkKlansman”), singer/songwriter Leslie Grace, Melissa Barrera (TV’s “Vida”), Olga Merediz (Broadway’s “In the Heights”), Daphne Rubin-Vega (Broadway’s “Rent”), Gregory Diaz IV (Broadway’s “Matilda the Musical”), Stephanie Beatriz (TV’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), Dascha Polanco (TV’s “Orange is the New Black”) and Jimmy Smits (the “Star Wars” films).

Opening in June 11 in theaters and HBO Max.
