I want to say "when will you be there tomorrow?"

I think that the correct thing to say is " ¿Cuándo estará allá manaña?" It is my professor so that's why i used the 3rd person conjugation for estar

It seems to me that "allá" signifies something at a considerable distance. "Way over there", or terms similar to that. "Allí" is usually meant for closer things, but stll is mostly "over there". There is a third option, and that is "ahí", and I believe this would fit this context best.
