Hamilton Goes Off Stage: Now Available on Disney+!

Disney Plus has had a praise of reviews since its launch on November 12, 2019. The on-demand streaming service distributes a variety of both older films, modern films, and television series associated with Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. As Disney+ surpasses over 50 million subscribers, the business alone produced a revenue of over $4 billion dollars from just this past year. 

Moreover, there has been nothing but outstanding reviews on the entirety of the cast, production, scenery, costumes, and of course the heavy hip-hop influences that helped to differentiate this musical. Hamilton: An American Musical, simply known as Hamilton is a certified Broadway musical written by the multi-talented Lin-Manuel Miranda, a Puerto Rican-American composer, actor, rapper, singer, lyricist, producer, and playwright born and raised in New York City. This musical creatively tells the life story of the first U.S. treasury secretary, Alexander Hamilton, in a way that exudes the cultural influences of hip-hop, R&B, pop, freestyle battles, and even “slang” throughout the script. The story takes place in the 1700’s and fundamentally covers the life of Alexander Hamilton and his journey in becoming a founding father. The musical solely flips the traditional story of Hamilton and makes it more zestful with the heavy cultural influences of hip-hop and the several cues of humor which helped to modernize this performance.

Furthermore, this three-hour play steps outside of the traditional playwright box and uses a very diverse team of actors ranging from African-Americans to Latinos. With the casting of Hamilton, it reverses the stereotypical casting criteria as a majority of the characters and all of the Founding Fathers were intentionally casted by non-white actors. The production first premiered Off-Broadway on January 20, 2015 at the Public Theater in NYC. Due to all of the praise it has received, Hamilton moved onto a bigger and better Broadway stage on August 6, 2015. As a cast and individually, this musical has won 27 awards including 11 Tony awards with one being the “Best New Musical”. The average ticket price to see Hamilton live on Broadway ranges between $300-$850. 

Viewers are completely ecstatic now about being able to watch the musical in the comfort of their homes with just a simple subscription. Stream Hamilton now available on Disney Plus!
