HAMILTON Film is Coming to Disney+ July 3
Lin-Manuel Miranda has announced that the Hamilton film is coming to Disney+ on July 3!
The show was filmed live on stage with the original cast at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in 2016.
Originally scheduled for release in movie theaters on October 15, 2021, this was supposed to test the cinematic appeal of re-airings of Broadway productions. Instead, it gives Hamilton and musical fans a new reason to subscribe to Disney+.
We were very curious to see how a hit Broadway musical would fare in a wide release, but we will have to wait another day for that. For now, the story of tonight, is we all get to live or relive the story of Hamilton in less than 2 months!
The original Broadway cast appearing in the film include Tony Award® winners Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton; Daveed Diggs as Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson; Renée Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler; Leslie Odom, Jr. as Aaron Burr; Tony Award® nominees Christopher Jackson as George Washington; Jonathan Groff as King George; Phillipa Soo as Eliza Hamilton; and Jasmine Cephas Jones as Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds; Okieriete Onaodowan as Hercules Mulligan/James Madison; and Anthony Ramos as John Laurens/Philip Hamilton.
The cast also includes Carleigh Bettiol, Ariana DeBose, Hope Easterbrook, Sydney James Harcourt, Sasha Hutchings, Thayne Jasperson, Elizabeth Judd, Jon Rua, Austin Smith, Seth Stewart, and Ephraim Sykes.
