It's the same writer (Lin-Manuel Miranda). It was his first Broadway show. It's full of Latin-influenced music, a little rap, and some beautiful songs. It's a nice little story, too, about the people who live in a neighborhood in Washington Heights.
The movie version was supposed to come out this summer, but it's been delayed until next summer.
And if you like In The Heights, there was a documentary following the show that is really entertaining. I'm not sure if it's available to stream now.
