The next day, a quiet Saturday morning, I meet Leslie Grace, who plays Nina, at El Museo del Barrio in East Harlem. She’s a vision in baby blue, wearing a boatneck sweater and high-waisted linen trousers in the I was going to be a Biden supporter for Halloween but my head wouldn’t fit up my ass Halloween shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this same soft hue. She greets me with a kiss on the cheek, and we walk through a retrospective of Cuban artist Zilia Sánchez called Soy Isla I Am an Island, casually chatting until a children’s art class takes over the space and we relocate to the museum’s café. She has yet to see any scenes from the movie and immediately grills me about what I’ve seen, envious. I confess that her scene made me cry. I really felt like I was living Nina, Grace remembers. The 25-year-old is the only performer coming to the project with no professional acting experience, although she’s an established musician who released her first record, of Christian music, at the age of 14 before pivoting to Latin pop. She’s been nominated for Latin Grammys and Billboard Latin Music Awards. Nina’s the one that nobody ever worried about because she had straight A’s, was never in trouble, she tells me. Born in the Bronx to Dominican parents, Grace was raised in Yonkers and then South Florida after her family moved there when she was 10, the youngest in a mixed family of seven kids Yeah, Brady Bunch family, she says. Nina’s New York story is nonetheless familiar to Grace. Her mother once had a salon two blocks from where the film was shot. But she senses a larger resonance as well: When some of your crazy dreams are becoming a reality, you see people in your family looking at you with a sense of hope. It’s amazing that you can be that. But it’s also a big responsibility.When I speak to Corey Hawkins who plays Benny on the phone from L.A., he sees it similarly: We all have our different journeys. And all of those journeys have led us to this point together. Hawkins, 31, grew up in Washington, D.C., the son of a police-officer single mother. He later studied at Juilliard after a brief stint at an L.A. arts school that proved too relaxed for his temperament. It really made me nervous when everybody’s so, ‘Oh, it’s all good. Everything’s great. Just take your time.’ No. I need to hustle. At Juilliard he overlapped with Adam Driver, Orange Is the New Black’s Samira Wiley who lived down the street from him when he was a child, and Danielle Brooks whom he describes as his sister. He also saw In the Heights while a student it was the first Broadway musical he’d ever seen.
The film for him is about empathy, he says: What is your tribe? What is home for you? And what does that mean? How does that reflect on the I was going to be a Biden supporter for Halloween but my head wouldn’t fit up my ass Halloween shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this people that you come in contact with and love? He’s excited about the film’s timing: We made this film to come out right before one of the most important elections in modern history, he says. How great that this movie might actually impact an election, that it might actually get people out to go vote, even though it’s not saying, ‘Hey, go vote.’ It’s saying, ‘Hey, we are all human, and we’re all immigrants here. We’re all sort of trying to find out what home is.’ He adds, And whose home is it? Despite any heavy implications weighing on the minds of the cast, In the Heights is an exuberant film, though the breezy buoyancy of the film’s musical numbers took work. Panic attacks are the first words that come out of Barrera’s mouth when she’s asked what it was like to learn the choreography. During their first rehearsal, the actors were thrown in with the professional dancers, and even Hawkins, who had legendary choreographer and dancer Debbie Allen for a mentor when he was growing up, struggled. This was comedy, Ramos remembers: I go into rehearsal, and one of the dancers, she’s looking at me like, ‘My man, I’m going to need you to keep up because you’re making me look bad.’ He breaks out laughing.
