The free series Movies at the Palace with Lin-Manuel Miranda is back with another screening that celebrates the 10-year anniversary of "Hamilton" on Broadway by featuring films starring the original cast members.
The next movie in the program is "In the Heights," director Jon M. Chu's 2021 adaptation of Miranda's very own Broadway musical set in Washington Heights. The featured actor is Christopher Jackson, who played George Washington in the original "Hamilton" on Broadway and appears in the film version of "In the Heights" (he also starred as Benny on Broadway.)
The movie is scheduled for Monday, May 5 at 7pm, followed by a live chat with "Hamilton" creator Miranda and Jackson at 9:30pm.
Free tickets can be reserved starting on Monday, April 28 at 10am.
Other screenings in the Miranda series include "One Night in Miami" with Leslie Odom, Jr. (June 2), and two episodes of the Starz series "Blindspotting" starring Jasmine Cephas Jones (July 28).
Note: The United Palace is also hosting other Movies at the Palace screenings that don't include the songwriter and actor and cost $10. Films in this category include "Paris Is Burning" on June 7 and "Monsters Inc." in July.
All the movies offer a unique opportunity to see the landmark venue's spectacularly decorated interior up-close.
Built in 1930, the United Palace was one of five Loew’s “Wonder Theatres" and includes a 3,000-plus-seat auditorium.
