I have not always found musicals to be the easiest of mediums to adapt however In the Heights seems to excel in achieving this. The music is sensational with awesome choreography to match, the characters are full of depth and easy to emote with and the story as a whole is very well written. A lot of the issues facing the characters are poignant to contemporary society and the musical does a very good job at highlighting the harsh reality faced by many within these communities. Overall, this a very good musical movie and certainly one that fans of musicals should see and to those who aren't, the story itself is definitely one to invest 2 hours of your life into.
