Win one of 10 double passes to see In The Heights

-

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.

In The Heights fuses Lin-Manuel Miranda’s kinetic music and lyrics with director Jon M. Chu’s lively and authentic eye for storytelli­ng to capture a world very much of its place, but universal in its experience.

In cinemas 24 June. Rated PG.
