"In The Heights" originally made its debut on the stage, winning Tony Awards including Best Musical, and is now a feature-length film currently in theaters and streaming on HBO Max. Being a musical, the music plays a key integral part in the storytelling, and executive music producers and composers Alex Lacamoire and Bill Sherman, have been with the film for twenty years.
