“Hamilton” is coming to the big screen. Sort of.
Disney will release the original filmed version of the musical on September 5th to theaters.
This is the version that was shown on Disney Plus.
They’re adding a bunch of extras including material from tonight’s 10th anniversary reunion show on Broadway. (It’s a fundraiser for immigration services via the Immigrants: We Get the Job Done Coalition.
There will also be “Reuniting the Revolution,” an exclusive special prologue to the film featuring all-new interviews with the original cast and creators as they reflect on the impact the show has had on their lives.
Then Leslie Odom, Jr., Tony winner from the original show, goes back into the Broadway production this fall.
There will be a special screening of the “Hamilton” movie at the Public’s Delacorte Theater on September 3rd. For a tidy sum, someone will be allowed to see it. Says the PR: “We will have a limited number of advance tickets available for reserve with a donation, but we will also have a free ticket lottery at The Public and free standby ticket line at The Delacorte.”
“Hamilton” is still booming on Broadway, bringing in $2.2 million last week.
