A trailer has been released for the theatrical release of Hamilton. This comes as tickets go on sale for the pro-shot recording of the hit Broadway musical that is making its way to the big screen. Currently, it can also be watched on Disney+ or on the stage on Broadway, where it is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Tickets are now available for purchase at Fandango and wherever tickets are sold.
For the theatrical release of Hamilton, there will be even more content offered than what is available on Disney+. This includes the inclusion of Reuniting the Revolution, an exclusive special prologue to the film that has new interviews with the original cast and creators. In the interviews, they reflect on the impact the show has had on their lives.
“When we filmed Hamilton, we wanted to try to capture the feeling of being in the Richard Rodgers Theatre during that first year on Broadway,” says director/producer Thomas Kail, “and we’re thrilled that audiences will now have the opportunity to experience it on the big screen.”
Hamilton Theatrical Release Official Description
An unforgettable cinematic stage performance, the filmed version of the original Broadway production of Hamilton combines the best elements of live theater and film to create a thrilling experience. 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.
