Trailer For Mae Whitman's Hulu Musical Romantic Comedy Series UP HERE
Hulu has released the first trailer for its upcoming musical romantic comedy series Up Here, which stars Mae Whitman. The movie comes from the screenwriter of Tick, Tick… Boom!, the director of Hamilton, and the songwriters of The Book of Mormon Broadway musical.
If you enjoy musicals, or if you liked the previous musical series, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, Up Here looks like the kind of charming show you’d want to watch!
The story is set in New York City in “the waning days of 1999, following the extraordinary story of one ordinary couple, 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.”
Whitman takes on the role of Lindsay, and she’s joined by Carlos Valdes as Miguel, with Katie Finneran, John Hodgman, Andréa Burns, Sophia Hammons, Emilia Suárez, Scott Porter, Ayumi Patterson, and Brian Stokes Mitchell.
The film was directed by Thomas Kail from a script by Steven Levenson, Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Robert Lopez, and Danielle Sanchez-Witzel. Up Here is a series based on the show by writers/lyricists Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, who wrote songs from Winnie the Pooh, Frozen, Coco, and Frozen II.
The series is set to premiere on March 24th, 2023.
