Remember the story of your name

PBS Great Performances will debut the documentary In The Heights - Chasing Broadway Dreams on Wednesday, May 27 at 8 p.m. (ET) (For your local PBS channel Click Here)

Here is the description of the documentary from the PBS website: "Making it in New York City is tough. Few get the chance to live out their dreams, and the cast and crew of In the Heights know this all too well. This young, diverse group of relatively unknown artists and performers have dreamed of making it on Broadway, but are well aware that a new original musical set outside a bodega in the Latino neighborhood of Washington Heights is a highly risky proposition. It took eight years in all, but they succeeded beyond their wildest expectations, winning four Tony Awards along the way, including Best Musical and Best Score for a Musical. In the Heights: Chasing Broadway Dreams chronicles the personal stories of composer/lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cast of In the Heights in the months leading up to opening night".
Here is the trailer.

"Remember the story of your name" lyrics from song Hundreds of Stories from In the Heights
