In the Heights was a Broadway hit in 2008, and a long-gestating feature film adaptation is out June 10 in theaters. The play was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Quiara Alegría Hudes, who have now collaborated with Jeremy McCarter on the new book In the Heights: Finding Home, which follows the trajectory of the play from basement rehearsals to its great success and the community it created along the way. Join A Room of One’s Own for an online launch on Zoom; tickets include a hardcover copy of the book.

press release: Join Lin-Manuel Miranda, Quiara Alegría Hudes, and Jeremy McCarter for a virtual book launch event for IN THE HEIGHTS: FINDING HOME!

Lights up on Washington Heights!

Before Hamilton became a global phenomenon, before Lin-Manuel Miranda became a household name, a little show called In the Heights shook up Broadway with its hip-hop and salsa soundtrack and big, bilingual heart. In the new book In the Heights: Finding Home, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Quiara Alegría 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 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.

Your ticket includes admission to this exclusive event, a hardcover copy of In the Heights: Finding Home ($40 retail price), as well as sales tax, shipping, and handling (if applicable).

Books bundled with tickets purchased on Eventbrite will be supplied by Madison's A Room of One's Own! $47 (with shipping) or $42 (pick-up).
