Hamilton was a book that was read by Lin-Manuel Miranda. It inspired him to make a Broadway musical. This Broadway musical was then recorded and streamed on Disney+. Its next stop will be the silver screen. In an announcement on social media, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Disney both shared that the hit Broadway musical will be leaping to the big screen on September 5, 2025. Tickets will go on sale on August 6, 2025. Miranda shared the news during an appearance on The Tonight Show.
“I have an announcement!” Miranda declared during his Tonight Show interview. “So, tomorrow is the 10-year anniversary of ‘Hamilton,’ and we’ve been celebrating all year. But we have one more way to celebrate. We filmed most of the original cast performing in ‘Hamilton’ in 2016, and we always wanted to release it theatrically, but then the pandemic hit, and so we decided to release it on streaming so that everyone could see it at home whenever they wanted. But, Sept. 5, you will be able to see ‘Hamilton’ in movie theaters nationwide and in Puerto Rico.”
The announcement was also made with the following post:
Hamilton first premiered at the Public Theater in New York in 2015. Later that year, it made the move to Broadway. There, it would earn positive reviews and high box office sales. It also received a record-breaking 16 Tony Award nominations and went on to win 11 awards. This included Best Musical. In 2016, it received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The filmed version of the musical was released on Disney+ in 2020. Now, as this hit musical celebrates its 10th anniversary, it will also be able to be watched in theaters by fans.
