Lin-Manuel Miranda hosts free movie screening at NYC’s United Palace
NY1.The playwright, who created hit musicals “In The Heights” and “Hamilton,” gave movie-goers a choice of films to screen over the weekend, offering either “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Black Panther,” and “Coco” — which ultimately won the vote.And making the event even more special, Miranda’s father, Luis Miranda Jr., came along to the screening.“Making sure that our neighborhood has a first-class theater that they can come for free is very, very important,” the composer’s father said.The venue recently got a major revamp thanks to Miranda, whose organization, Miranda Family Fund, donated a large sum of cash for a new screen and an HD projector, he told the outlet.“We always are trying to sell Washington Heights to the larger New York community, so this is an opportunity,” Miranda said.
