Reaching new Heights


In the Heights will be making its way to the silver screen. After seeing Mamma Mia become the highest-grossing movie musical in history, Universal Pictures will be producing the film adaptation of this year's Tony-winning Best Musical.
The musical's creator and star, Lin-Manuel Miranda, is expected to reprise his leading role. Book writer Quiara Alegria Hudes will also write the screenplay.

Variety also reports that the studio and producer Marc Platt are in the very early stages of turning another Broadway box-office smash, Wicked, into a feature film.
