Ahead of the In The Heights film being released later this month, as well as Broadway's reopening now from June 26, Lin-Manuel Miranda appeared on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. As part of his guest appearance, the pair sung "Broadway's Back!", a skit that saw the pair perform a song about the Broadway shows they'll see when theatres reopen again.

In the song, they reference a variety of Broadway musicals, including Come From Away, Company and The Lion King. Check out when all Broadway shows are reopening in 2021 here.

Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jimmy Fallon are joined by special guests including Olga Merediz, Skeleton Crew's Phylicia Rashad, Kristin Chenoweth, Christopher Jackson, Laura Benanti and Jimmy Smits for a parody for "You'll Be Back" from Hamilton. Hamilton is reopening at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in September.
