Hamilton is coming to Disney Plus tonight
Hamilton: The Musical is coming to Disney Plus tonight
The time has finally come! We will all be in “the room where it happened” tonight when Hamilton hits Disney Plus.
Hamilton will be added to the streaming service at 3 a.m. ET on Friday, July 3.
There hasn’t been so much excitement for anything to do with a Broadway musical since Hamilton hit the stage back in 2015.
Now, those of us who have only listened to the music and imagined the scenes in our heads get to actually see it for the first time and those who were lucky enough to see it performed live are able to watch it again.
Originally, the movie musical was going to be in theaters sometime in 2021, but with the coronavirus closing a lot of movie theaters across the country, it was moved to the streaming service and given an earlier release date. I know I’m not alone in saying thank goodness! We could really use some happy moments right now, and Hamilton being available to watch is definitely one of those.
The performance we’ll be watching was filmed in June 2016 at The Richard Rogers Theatre and features all the original cast, including Lin-Manuel Miranda (also the writer/creator), Leslie Odom Dr. Daveed Diggs, Christopher Jackson, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Jonathan Groff, Phillipa Soo, Anthony Ramos, Okieriete Onaodowan, and Jasmine Cephas Jones.
If the trailer is anything to go by, we will all have chills and be crying on our couches tonight. Take a look if you haven’t seen it yet or if you just want to amp yourself up:
If you’ve been living under a rock for the past five years, Hamilton tells the story of the life of one of the founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton. His highs and lows are featured throughout the musical as the characters perform R&B, pop, and hip hop songs about what they’re going through. While the Tony and Emmy award-winning Broadway musical is primarily about Hamilton, it’s also about his wife, Elizabeth, his nemesis, Aaron Burr, and the American Revolution and the first days of our country.
The July 4 weekend has never looked so good! If you’ve been putting off subscribing to Disney Plus, tonight is the night to finally make the commitment. There, unfortunately, isn’t a free trial (Disney has figured us all out!), but you can cancel at anytime.
