Thank you and have a magical day! |
Hamilton is an upcoming 2021 American musical drama film written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and directed by Thomas Kail. The film is a recording of Miranda's Broadway musical of the same name, which in turn is inspired by the 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton by historian Ron Chernow. The film stars Miranda in the titular role of Treasury Secretary and Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, along with the original Broadway cast of the musical.
It is scheduled to be released on October 15, 2021 by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.[2][3]

Filming
The film is edited together from three performances of Hamilton at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City in 2016 with the original principal Broadway cast members, combined with a few "setup shots" recorded without the audience present.[2] This footage, shot by RadicalMedia, was originally filmed to be spliced into the 2016 documentary, Hamilton's America.
