IN THE HEIGHTS Virtual Book Launch

  • Big Blue Marble Bookstore 551 Carpenter Lane Philadelphia, PA, 19119 United States (map)

Lights up on Washington Heights - Join us for a nation-wide live book launch!

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.

Each ticket includes admission to this exclusive event and a hardcover copy of In the Heights: Finding Home ($40). (Reminder - we don’t ship books, so copies will be available at Big Blue Marble)

Links to the event will be emailed 48 hours in advance, and the book will be available for pickup at the store on its release date, Tuesday June 15th.
