Raise a glass to karaoke! A sing-along version of Hamilton鈥攖he Tony, Olivier, and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical from Lin-Manuel Miranda鈥攚ill arrive on Disney+ June 30, almost three years after the filmed version of the Broadway hit debuted on the streamer. And, it's just in time for your Broadway-themed July 4th party.
Watch a trailer for the new version of the film, originally captured in 2016, above.
The July 3, 2020 release of the film had been years in the
making. Reports broke in July 2018 of a bidding war erupting between
studios over the filmed presentation, with Warner Bros. and 20th Century
Fox both named as contenders (the latter acquired by Disney in 2019).
Disney initially announced a cinema premiere for October 2021, but amid
the coronavirus pandemic, revealed their shift to an at-home release.
In addition to Miranda in the title role, the performance features
Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr, Ren茅e Elise Goldsberry as Angelica
Schuyler, Daveed Diggs as Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson, as Eliza Hamilton, as George Washington,
as King George, Jasmine Cephas Jones as Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds,
Okieriete Onaodowan as Hercules Mulligan/James Madison, and Anthony
Ramos as John Laurens/Philip Hamilton.

members had departed before the filming took place, but look out for
