In the Heights was one of my most favorite movies I saw in theaters this year. My mom, daughter, I went to see it as we are all huge musical theater fans. It was absolutely superb with all the dancing, singing, and acting. Every single actor was a triple threat actor. As soon as I left, I bought the entire soundtrack and my daughter/I have been singing it non-stop. If you are a musical theater fan, this is the movie for you. Trust me on this!!

SYNOPSIS
Lights up on Washington Heights…The scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st 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 (Anthony Ramos), who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life.
