Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway musical-turned-movie In The Heights is about a little barrio filled with big dreamers, and the first trailer certainly makes the film look like a dream.

Hamilton star Anthony Ramos plays Usnavi, the all-singing, all-rapping narrator whose loyalty to his neighborhood is unparalleled, and snatches of some of the musical's iconic songs hint at just how much grander his story will look like on the big screen. In The Heights comes out next summer, so until then fans are going to have to have a little...paciencia y fe.

In The Heights arrives in theaters June 26, 2020.
