Trivia
The hold music that plays when Kevin is on the phone is a version of King George's melody in Hamilton, another musical by Lin Manuel Miranda.

Goofs
Abuela Claudia's "mother's secret recipe" for café con leche calls for "one can of condensed milk." When Usnavi prepares Kevin's coffee, he uses evaporated milk, which would spoil without refrigeration. She suggests condensed milk because it does not spoil if left out in the heat.

Quotes
Kevin Rosario: [to Nina] Ignore anyone who doubts you.

Crazy credits
Before the credits roll, some graffiti art is shown of actress and singer Doreen Montalvo, a member of the original Broadway cast of "In the Heights" who also appeared in the film who passed away in 2021, with the words "Doreen - Para Siempre", a reference to the song she sings in the film and the show.

This is why the movie theater exists

This movie is the feel-good summer hit we all have needed for the past year. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll be transported to Washington Heights. Every facet of this movie is executed perfectly. The acting is amazing. The songs are amazing. Unlike most movie musicals, this movie isn't trying to emulate Broadway. It very much uses filmic language to tell a unique story through a unique style. Go see it on the biggest screen you can, you won't regret it.
