Warner Bros. recently announced the launch of the digital open casting call for the upcoming film In The Heights, based on the Tony Award-winning stage musical.
The Tony Award-winning hit musical In The Heights is coming to the big screen! With music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda and book by Quiara Alegría Hudes and directed by Jon M. Chu, this lively musical centers around characters in the Latino-American community of bustling Washington Heights in New York City. When the neighborhood’s charismatic local bodega owner, and our story’s humble narrator, finally decides to fulfill his dream of going to the island his parents called home, his departure will change his beloved block forever. Piraguas and blackouts, coming home and moving out, In The Heights is a beloved musical that submerges us into the vibrant rhythm of the city and uplifts us into the heart of a rich community.
Anthony Ramos, currently co-starring in A Star Is Born as Lady Gaga’s characters’ bestie, has been cast as theIn The Heights lead. The film will begin shooting in New York City (Summer 2019) with a slated release of June 26, 2020.

INSTRUCTIONS & TIPS

When making your video, place the camera (iPhone camera is fine, but shoot horizontally!) on a tripod or steady surface. Make sure you are in a well-lit space without a distracting background. Have someone stand off camera and read the lines opposite your lines. Look at that person instead of at the camera. You should frame the shot so that we see you from about chest up.
