Where to watch Howard (2018) tonight

Howard (2018) runs 1 h 33 min, is rated PG in the US and averages 6.8 from 57 TMDB members. Though legendary lyricist Howard Ashman died far too young, his impact on Broadway, movies, and the culture at large were incalculable. Told entirely through rare archival footage and interviews with Ashman’s family, friends, associates, and longtime partner Bill Lauch, Howard is an intimate tribute to a once-in-a-generation talent and a rousing celebration of musical storytelling itself.
