The adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first musical was delayed due to the coronavirus crisis.
The lights will come up on Washington Heights… but not until next summer.
The movie was originally slated for a June 2020 release but then postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In late March, Miranda gaveRosie O’Donnellanupdate on the film’s status.
“There’s a lot that remains to be done on that movie.
We were finishing the score and the mixing and just getting the music exactly right.”
Yup, the summer release date is fitting.
