Natalie Jamieson (Bestsellers podcast, BBC Radio 1 & 2) and Genevieve Hassan (Celebrity Catch Up: Life After That Thing I Did podcast) return to to Flixwatcher to review Natalie's choice In the Heights. In the Heights (2021) is a musical directed by Jon (Crazy Rich Asians) M. Chu and is based on the stage musical of the same name written by Quiara Alegría Hudes and Lin-Manuel (Hamilton) Miranda. In the Heights tells the story of a community of Dominican residents of a corner of Washington Heights in New York as they follow their dreams for a better life. Usnavi (Anthony Ramos) owns a bodega and is in love with Vanessa (Melissa Barrera), who dreams of being a fashion designer but can't get an apartment as she doesn't have credit. Kevin who owns the local taxi firm is selling off his business to fund his daughter Nina's (Leslie Grace) University education. But Nina has dropped out due to the racism she has experienced and doesn't want to go back. With a run time of 2 hours and 23 minutes In the Heights is a long film. Recommendations were very mixed, without catchy numbers and a perhaps overly complex amount of characters it is a tricky film to warm to. The runtime negatively affected the repeat viewing and engagement scores to give In the Heights an overall rating of 3.52.

IN THE HEIGHTS COMPOSER: Lin-Manuel Miranda LYRICIST: Lin-Manuel Miranda BOOK: Quiara Alegria Hudes DIRECTOR: Thomas Kail CHOREOGRAPHER: Andy Blankenbuehler PRINCIPLE CAST: Robin De Jesus (Sonny), Mandy Gonzalez (Nina), Lin-Manuel Miranda (Usnavi),  OPENING DATE: Mar 09, 2008 CLOSING DATE: Jan 09, 2011 PERFORMANCES: 1,184 SYNOPSIS: Washington Heights, New York is the diverse environment that holds an eclectic group of citizens. Usnavi, the show's narrator and bodega manager, observes the lives of his neighbors as they begin to forge new paths in and out of the barrio.   In the Heights was the first Broadway musical to rely on rap as its primary mode of storytelling. Composer Lin Manuel Miranda first began developing the show while a student at Wesleyan University with a desire to share his perspective as a child of immigrants and emphasize a universal desire to find belonging. Devon Hunt traces In the Heights' seven year development process, collaborators Thomas Kail and Quiara Alegría Hudes, and outlines the significant cultural influences which informed the work. The musical is significant as a Latinx-authored, authentic telling of Latinx immigrant stories and its success laid the groundwork for Miranda's later artistic accomplishments. Devon Hunt is an Assistant Professor of Theatre at Oklahoma State University. His areas of research include secondary musical theatre educator training and Black contributions to early 20th-century musical theatre. Selected regional acting credits: She Loves Me (SDSU), A Chorus Line (Welk Resorts Theatre), The Producers (Moonlight Amphitheatre), and the world premiere of The Tale of Despereaux (The Old Globe/PigPen Theatre). Devon holds an MFA in Musical Theatre from SDSU and an MM in piano performance from the University of Maryland. He is an Equity Membership Candidate and a proud member of the Musical Theatre Educators' Alliance.

Quiara's Background●Quiara comes from a mixed background. Her family is large and diverse.●Her parent's separation split her reality between the two different backgrounds of her parents.●She found the Buddhist practices of her mother's side magical. It showed her joy in the midst of horrific times.●On the other hand, her father's life in the suburbs was the ideal American Dream life that displayed order over chaos.Concealing Chaos●Quiara felt that there was a design to the suburbs that concealed the natural chaos of life. She knew that life wasn't about order.●She had moments wherein she was lost in herself. During these times, she flowed with the pandemonium of life.●The suffering of her family on her mother's side emulated a real and honest human experience, which was facing life and death. ●Her family perceived their bodies as a “church”. No matter where or how they live, they live genuinely with their own church.Chaos as a Part of Life●Experiencing life is like art. The experience comprises calm and beauty, as well as chaos.●The energy of life either can be tranquil or intense as the tsunami.●Having both serenity and extremity in your life gives you a fully saturated experience. Quiara recommends trying to harness the energy that comes from it.●She learned this from her mother as she found her path to be crowned as a priestess.●With natural energy, you can see the different forces of nature at work—both the beautiful and the terrifying. Writing Her Memoir ●Quiara started writing her memoir at the end of 2019.●Similar to Quiara, many writers worry about the accuracy of their memories Despite not remembering the details of her childhood, she remembers the feeling of the moment.●Writing her memoir was not about listing events in her life, but narrating her growth throughout those years.●She was protective when writing about her loved ones but was more critical about herself. It allowed her to understand herself in carrying through her life.●The book was also a way for her to bring awareness to social issues surrounding her family.Reading the Completed Book●Reading it aloud on Audiobook made her appreciate all the voice actors who brought her book to life.●A scene in her book that stuck with her is a moment in 1995 when her class was talking about welfare queens. ●During that time, she felt angry about the situation. Reading it in her book brought back the unpleasant feelings.Connecting Through Stories●Rosie shares her own similar experience of hate and racism in the grocery store with her abuelita.●The starting quote of her book is about how words have magic and power. Quiara's story made Rosie feel seen.●You can't confine yourself in a box. For many, identity and labeling are elements that shouldn't be limited.●Quiara found freedom in her varying cultures. She realized didn't have to fit into certain standards as her own person. Quiara's Spiritual Journey●Quiara's faith is earth-based and body-based. She inherited this from the Puerto Rican culture and practices.●She watched her sister giving birth to her own child. For her, the experience channels different energy than giving birth herself.●Despite being in different places, they came together to help her sister go through labor.●That moment of coming together in their church felt sacred to Quiara. Body and Spirit●Quiara thinks that America is a very disembodied nation in a spiritual and philosophical sense. ●The nation is very mind-driven and tends to surrender its body and spirit. This can be unhealthy●Her sister's experience at a birth center gave her a new view on consent, especially in medical practice.●People should pay more attention to consent in medicine. The power of your voice is often underestimated.●Don't lock your emotions into your body. Even in a disembodied society, embodiment through movement is importantThe Importance of Embodiment●Words can often be inadequate to a physical form of processing.●Social media reduces relationships to words. It lacks the vibe and spirit that are integral parts of relationships.●Her mother's spiritual practice involved the use of drums. Quiara started to feel her spiritual connection through the drum beatings and dancing.●The drum is the voice or heart within you. The body and our movement are physical manifestations of the drum. ●Quiara was able to witness amazing manifestations of power from her family's spiritual practice How Quiara Feels Radically Loved●Quiara feels radically loved in many ways.●It's fulfilling for her when she accepts support from others. 5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode[10:57] “What happened in those moments was that I was able to ride the chaos of life, in a way that created a tremendous flow and power. I was able to harness the chaos that was around entries of life.”[16:40] “You learn about the human spirit by seeing the forces in nature and how they work. It's not all rainbows and butterflies, that's part of nature. But there's also the lightning strike, and there's also the whirlwind.”[18:44] “But the truth is, we do remember our bodies. I remember the feeling of that time—of that moment. That is a form of memory. I'm not trying to construct a timeline of events. I'm trying to tell a story about growth.” [31:33] “It's freedom because you can't be confined in one space. For me, there's just no box that's 100% accurate. Questions of identity and labeling— there aren't boxes where they are 100% accurate.”[47:30] “Writers know more than anyone how inadequate words are in the face of human accomplishment and torment, and heart and spirit.”About QuiaraQuiara Alegria Hudes is an author and playwright of award-winning books, essays, films, and musicals.

Quiara recommends trying to harness the energy that comes from it.●She learned this from her mother as she found her path to be crowned as a priestess.●With natural energy, you can see the different forces of nature at work—both the beautiful and the terrifying. Writing Her Memoir ●Quiara started writing her memoir at the end of 2019.●Similar to Quiara, many writers worry about the accuracy of their memories Despite not remembering the details of her childhood, she remembers the feeling of the moment.●Writing her memoir was not about listing events in her life, but narrating her growth throughout those years.●She was protective when writing about her loved ones but was more critical about herself. It allowed her to understand herself in carrying through her life.●The book was also a way for her to bring awareness to social issues surrounding her family.Reading the Completed Book●Reading it aloud on Audiobook made her appreciate all the voice actors who brought her book to life.●A scene in her book that stuck with her is a moment in 1995 when her class was talking about welfare queens. ●During that time, she felt angry about the situation. Reading it in her book brought back the unpleasant feelings.Connecting Through Stories●Rosie shares her own similar experience of hate and racism in the grocery store with her abuelita.●The starting quote of her book is about how words have magic and power. Quiara's story made Rosie feel seen.●You can't confine yourself in a box. For many, identity and labeling are elements that shouldn't be limited.●Quiara found freedom in her varying cultures. She realized didn't have to fit into certain standards as her own person. Quiara's Spiritual Journey●Quiara's faith is earth-based and body-based. She inherited this from the Puerto Rican culture and practices.●She watched her sister giving birth to her own child. For her, the experience channels different energy than giving birth herself.●Despite being in different places, they came together to help her sister go through labor.●That moment of coming together in their church felt sacred to Quiara. Body and Spirit●Quiara thinks that America is a very disembodied nation in a spiritual and philosophical sense. ●The nation is very mind-driven and tends to surrender its body and spirit. This can be unhealthy●Her sister's experience at a birth center gave her a new view on consent, especially in medical practice.●People should pay more attention to consent in medicine. The power of your voice is often underestimated.●Don't lock your emotions into your body. Even in a disembodied society, embodiment through movement is importantThe Importance of Embodiment●Words can often be inadequate to a physical form of processing.●Social media reduces relationships to words. It lacks the vibe and spirit that are integral parts of relationships.●Her mother's spiritual practice involved the use of drums. Quiara started to feel her spiritual connection through the drum beatings and dancing.●The drum is the voice or heart within you. The body and our movement are physical manifestations of the drum. ●Quiara was able to witness amazing manifestations of power from her family's spiritual practice How Quiara Feels Radically Loved●Quiara feels radically loved in many ways.●It's fulfilling for her when she accepts support from others. 5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode[10:57] “What happened in those moments was that I was able to ride the chaos of life, in a way that created a tremendous flow and power. I was able to harness the chaos that was around entries of life.”[16:40] “You learn about the human spirit by seeing the forces in nature and how they work. It's not all rainbows and butterflies, that's part of nature. But there's also the lightning strike, and there's also the whirlwind.”[18:44] “But the truth is, we do remember our bodies. I remember the feeling of that time—of that moment. That is a form of memory. I'm not trying to construct a timeline of events. I'm trying to tell a story about growth.” [31:33] “It's freedom because you can't be confined in one space. For me, there's just no box that's 100% accurate. Questions of identity and labeling— there aren't boxes where they are 100% accurate.”[47:30] “Writers know more than anyone how inadequate words are in the face of human accomplishment and torment, and heart and spirit.”About QuiaraQuiara Alegria Hudes is an author and playwright of award-winning books, essays, films, and musicals.

The eagerly awaited follow-up to the number one New York Times best seller Hamilton: The Revolution, Lin-Manuel Miranda's new book gives listeners an extraordinary inside look at In the Heights, his breakout Broadway debut, written with Quiara Alegría Hudes, soon to be a Hollywood blockbuster. In 2008, In the Heights, a new musical from up-and-coming young artists, electrified Broadway. The show's vibrant mix of Latin music and hip-hop captured life in Washington Heights, the Latino neighbourhood in upper Manhattan. It won four Tony Awards and became an international hit, delighting audiences around the world. For the film version, director Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians) brought the story home, filming its spectacular dance numbers on location in Washington Heights. That's where Usnavi, Nina and their neighbours chase their dreams and ask a universal question: where do I belong? In the Heights: Finding Home reunites Miranda with Jeremy McCarter, co-author of Hamilton: The Revolution, and Quiara Alegría Hudes, the Pulitzer Prize-winning librettist of the Broadway musical and screenwriter of the film. They do more than trace the making of an unlikely Broadway smash and a major motion picture: They give listeners an intimate look at the decades-long creative life of In the Heights. Like Hamilton: The Revolution, the book offers untold stories, perceptive essays and the lyrics to Miranda's songs-complete with his funny, heartfelt annotations. It also features newly commissioned portraits and never-before-seen photos from backstage, the movie set and productions around the world. This is the story of characters who search for a home-and the artists who created one.
