Lin-Manuel Miranda took to Twitter on Tuesday to announce that there is a new In the Heights book being published by Random House.
In the Heights: Finding Home will give a behind-the-scenes look at the 2008 Tony Award-winning musical. It will also chronicle the musical's 20 year lifespan: from Miranda's early doodles to the upcoming movie that will be released this summer.
The book reunites Miranda with Jeremy McCarter, co-author of Hamilton: The Revolution. Quiara Alegría Hudes, the Pulitzer Prize–winning librettist of the Broadway musical and screenwriter of the film, also contributed to the new book.
Atención, atención...

Jeremy McCarter chronicles the twenty (!) years of In The Heights, from my first doodles at 19 through #InTheHeightsMovie this summer. Essays by Quiara throughout. Lyric annotations by me.
