The event was part of Miranda’s initiative to bring accessible arts programming to upper Manhattan through a curated series at the United Palace.
Fans and neighbors filled the historic United Palace last night for a celebration of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights, part of Miranda’s ongoing film and performance series designed to give back to his hometown community. Check out a video from inside the theatre as a special performance brings the evening to a joyous close.
The screening of Jon M. Chu's closed out with a special live performance from original Broadway cast members Mandy Gonzalez and Christopher Jackson who stunned the crowd with a surprise rendition of “When You’re Home,” joined by music director Alex Lacamoire.
The performance became a full-on reunion as In the Heights and Hamilton star Anthony Ramos joined in, with Miranda himself stepping in to close the number—sending the crowd into a frenzy.
