Hamilton movie: What to expect?
Miranda said that they have been celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Hamilton "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, September 5, you will be able to see Hamilton in movie theaters nationwide and in Puerto Rico," Variety quoted Miranda as saying.
In an official release, Disney announced that the movie version of Hamilton will hit screens across the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico on September 5, 2025. Thereafter, it will be released in the UK and Ireland on September 26, followed by a November 13 release in Australia and New Zealand.
As per Variety, the movie was originally scheduled to come out in October 2021, but the plan was changed, and it ultimately saw its premiere on Disney+ in July 2020.
In the movie version of Hamilton, fans will get to witness the 'live capture' of the production. This was filmed in June 2016 at The Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway. The filming was done with most of the original cast members of the Broadway musical.
