How To Watch Hamilton This Friday on Disney+

Lin-Manuel Miranda's award-winning Broadway smash-hit Hamilton will finally be made available to the masses. A movie-style recording of the Hamilton stage play, featuring Miranda and the original cast, will air on streaming this Friday, and below we have all the details you need to know about where, when, and how to watch it. If you've somehow missed the boat on this, Hamilton is hip-hop-infused recreation of US history - specifically the story of how Alexander Hamilton became one of the nation's founding fathers. The play earned massive acclaim for its soundtrack and unique recreation of history with black and Latino actors - and now we can all enjoy it from the safety of home!

What Is Hamilton?

"Hamilton" is the story of America then, told by America now. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, "Hamilton" has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre - a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education. Filmed at The Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway in June of 2016, the film transports its audience into the world of the Broadway show in a uniquely intimate way." --Walt Disney Studios

What is the Hamilton Live-Performance Release Date?

The live movie-style recording of Hamilton was scheduled to hit theaters on October 15, 2021. The idea was to give the stage performance ample time to run before the movie's release - but the coronavirus pandemic changed all that. With Broadway now closed through the end of 2020, and movie theaters struggling to re-open, Miranda and Disney decided to give the performing arts a boost, by releasing Hamilton early on streaming. Hamilton is now set to release on Disney+ on July 3rd. That is (of course) perfect timing for the July 4th holiday. No doubt, millions of Americans will be looking to celebrate the nation's Independence by watching the most famous performance of its history, right now.
