For those who have not seen the stage production of this amazing musical, the movie will be streaming on Disney beginning July 3. This was an epic musical that comes along once every generation. This should be a must see. Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius
We have seen Hamilton twice here on the west coast. I was never lucky enough or wealthy enough to have seen the original cast in the show on Broadway. IMO Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius to have written this unforgettable play about the life of Alexander Hamilton. In fact the first time we saw it, I bought tickets over a year in advance and paid a small fortune for tickets for my wife and I
As I stated above if you haven't seen Hamilton this is truly a must see and finally on July 3 Disney + began streaming Hamilton, a movie made from an actual stage production with the original cast which includes Miranda in the role of Hamilton
As a result it is a 2 hour and 40 minute production with all of a one minute intermission at the half way point of the show.
Even if you don't get Disney+ it would be worth the fee of $6 to sign up for a month for the sole reason of watching Hamilton.
The dialog occurs at a hectic pace with music sung to rap. We found that watching with the subtitles on helped with the overall understanding of the history involved.
This is one show which MUST be seen as it is truly that good
Hamilton was scheduled to play in Tucson in November but that seems unlikely at the moment. That wouldn't be the original cast either. My wife downloaded the music and has been listening already.

We watched Hamilton this evening and we both enjoyed it. He was quite an accomplished man for an orphaned immigrant.
I found the lyrics online and that made it easier to follow along on some of the music. Thanks for the tip, Steve.
Remember reading the Federalist Papers in school and knew Hamilton was involved but didn't remember he was the primary contributor.
Can you imagine a duel between a sitting Vice President and a former Secretary of the Treasury? We have some brutal politics of late but not to that point fortunately.
Well if you had done what I suggested and put in the subtitles it makes for more understanding as things sung quickly in rap are often difficult to understand
as for spending 100’s you’re not even close. I had 7th row dead center in the orchestra and paid $2300 for 2 seats which included a $500 surcharge on the already high prices charged by resellers.
it was worth every penny as a production such as this comes to Broadway infrequently
I saw the play in Chicago and like Steve, it was worth every penny.
As to the movie, I suggest u watch it a second time. Besides things u might have missed in the first viewing, the dialogue is much easier to understand the second time.....
