never truly left. But after a smash run on Broadway — temporarily halted by theater closures after the coronavirus outbreak — the bio-musical is now headed to the screen with a new film on Disney+.
On Sunday, the streaming platform dropped the first official trailer for the production, which captures Lin-Manuel Miranda’s rap-sung story about Alexander Hamilton and other historical figures during the Founding Father’s lifetime.
Filmed at New York City’s Richard Rodgers Theatre in June of 2016, Disney promises to transport viewers into the world of Broadway in a uniquely intimate way.
The award-winning and groundbreaking show features the entire original cast, including Miranda as Hamilton, Daveed Diggs as Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas.
