To tie in with the launch of the brand new musical-comedy series, “Up Here”, Disney hosted a special screening event at the IPIC Theater in New York City.  Attending the event was Thomas Kail, Steven Levenson, Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Robert Lopez, Mae Whitman, Carlos Valdes, John Hodgman, Sophia Hammons, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and more!

“Up Here” is a brand new musical romantic comedy set in New York City in the waning days of 1999, following the extraordinary story of one ordinary couple, Lindsay and Miguel, as they fall in love and discover that the single greatest obstacle to finding happiness together might just be themselves – and the treacherous world of memories, obsessions, fears and fantasies that lives inside their heads.

Here are some photos from the event:

The series stars Mae Whitman, Carlos Valdes, Katie Finneran, John Hodgman, Andréa Burns, Sophia Hammons, and Emilia Suárez.

Thomas Kail (“Hamilton”) directs and executive produces the series alongside Levenson, Sanchez-Witzel, Anderson-Lopez, Lopez, and Jennifer Todd. 20th Television serves as the production company alongside Kail’s Old 320 Sycamore Productions.
