We stopped believing it would happen! Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical will be released on cinema screens on October 21, 2021. So if you have to be patient before you can discover the masterpiece, here is some information you should know about the show:
The original distribution is back
The show was filmed while the original cast was complete. We will therefore find, on October 15, 2021, Leslie Odom Jr. in the role of Aaron Burr, Renée Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler. Obviously, it is Lin Manuel Miranda who will take over the title role he wrote and interpreted. We don't forget Phillipa Soo in Eliza Hamilton and Jonathan Groff in George Washington.
It's a filmed version of the show.
No, we will not be transported to 1776 using special effects but on the stage of the Richard Rodgers theater where the show opened in New York in 2015.
We will be able to admire the scenography of David Korins and the choreographies of Andy Blankenbuehler. The show won 11 Tony Awards in 2016 and it's a chance to get to see this masterpiece in detail on screen.
This filmed version was also called #Hamilfilm on Twitter.
The film is produced by Disney
This is not the first time that the composer and actor has worked with Disney. In 2014, he composed the music for the film Moana (Moana in English). With his song Le Bleu Lumière (How Far I'll Go) he won a Golden Globe, an Oscar and a Grammy!
He wrote a song for the 7th installment of Star Wars and in 2018, he interpreted the chimney sweep Jack in Mary Poppins Returns.
