The screening, a week before the film’s release in theaters and on HBO Max, will take place five days before the Tribeca Film Festival’s World Premiere screening on June 9. Tickets will go on sale in early May, both for the festival and the screening, with assigned seating for the in-person show. Advertisement“We celebrate this incredible partnership with a shared goal, to beautifully showcase diverse and under-represented voices through the power of film,” said actor Robert de Niro, co-founder of the Tribeca Festival, in a statement. Actor Edward James Olmos, the founder of the Latino Film Institute that hosts the L.A. festival, said he’s excited to bring the musical to the event. “For 20 years, the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival and Edward James Olmos have been uplifting and providing a platform for Latino artists to share their own stories,” said Miranda, the multi-Tony Award-winning mastermind behind “Hamilton” and the “In the Heights” musical on which the movie is based.
