How to stream 'Hamilton' on Disney+
Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical comes to the streaming service July 3.
If you've never had the opportunity to see "Hamilton," now is your chance: Lin-Manuel Miranda's award-winning musical about Alexander Hamilton is coming to Disney+ on July 3.
Originally set to hit theaters on Oct. 15, 2021, "Hamilton" was fast-tracked to be released just in time for Independence Day, as many will be quarantined amid the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.
Miranda, who earned a Pulitzer Prize for writing the Broadway musical, told "Good Morning America" that the movie was shot in 2016 at New York City's Richard Rodgers Theatre and will feature the original cast.
Initially, Miranda starred as Hamilton, Leslie Odom Jr. played Aaron Burr and Daveed Diggs took on the roles of the Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson.
"It was basically a three-day film shoot with the best-rehearsed cast in the history of the movies because we had all been doing the show for a year at this point," Miranda said. "I'm really glad we had the luxury to basically shoot an independent film in our first year and now the world can see what it felt like to be in that room."

Renee Elise Goldsberry, Phillipa Soo and Jasmine Cephas Jones originally played the Schuyler Sisters in the Broadway musical. The trio shared a dressing room and would often break out in song, harmonizing together backstage.
"We would sing anything that was happening in three-part harmony," Goldsberry said.
Goldsberry said the Disney+ film was "breathtaking." "I find it a revelation to the last moment and you'll know what I mean when you see this movie. That even at the very last moment, you think it's over, but it's not," Goldsberry explained. "The last moment of the film is probably the most breathtaking moment of the entire film and that's Phillipa Soo. I won't give it away. I won't spoil it."
