What it’s about. Making it in New York City is tough. Few get the chance to live out their dreams, and the cast and crew of In the Heights know this all too well. This young, diverse group of relatively unknown artists and performers dreamed of making it on Broadway, but are well aware that a new original musical set outside a bodega in the Latino neighborhood of Washington Heights is a highly risky proposition. It took eight years in all, but they succeeded beyond their wildest expectations, winning four Tony Awards along the way, including Best Musical and Best Score for a Musical. This documentary chronicles the personal stories of composer/lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cast of In the Heights in the months leading up to its 2008 opening night.

Who’s in it. In the Heights: Chasing Broadway Dreams stars Lin-Manuel Miranda as Self, Blanca Camacho as Self, Robin de Jesús as Self and Mandy Gonzalez as Self, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 10.0/10, In the Heights: Chasing Broadway Dreams sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
