Lin-Manuel Miranda gave us one of the biggest Broadway hits of all time with his hit musical Hamilton, and he’s ready to bring it to the masses with a screening featuring the members of the original cast.
Miranda is joining forces with Disney to bring the musical to cinemas. The company’s chairman Robert A. Iger said they’re thrilled to share this Broadway smash-hit with millions of people around the world.
“Lin-Manuel Miranda created an unforgettable theater experience and a true cultural phenomenon, and it was for good reason that Hamilton was hailed as an astonishing work of art. All who saw it with the original cast will never forget that singular experience,” said Iger in a statement.
This musical tells the story of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton through hip-hop and R&B inspired music. Its original Broadway production from 2015 received a record-setting 16 nominations for Tony Award and ended up winning 11 of them.
In addition to Miranda, the original Broadway cast of Hamilton featured Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr, Daveed Diggs as Thomas Jefferson, and Christopher Jackson as George Washington.
