Disney Hosts “Hamilton” Premiere Event In New York

Just ahead of the re-release of the filmed version of the show. “Hamilton” in cinemas, Disney held a special screening of the musical at the Public Theatre’s newly revitalised Delacorte Theatre in New York.

Filmed at The Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway in June of 2016, the film transports its audience into the world of the Broadway show in a uniquely intimate way.  An unforgettable cinematic stage performance, the filmed version of the original Broadway production of “Hamilton” combines the best elements of live theater and film to create a thrilling experience. “Hamilton” is the story of America then, told by America now. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway, “Hamilton” has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre—a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education.

The theatrical release of “Hamilton” expands upon the version available on Disney+ with the inclusion of “Reuniting the Revolution,” an exclusive special prologue to the film featuring all-new interviews with the original cast and creators as they reflect on the impact the show has had on their lives.

The special screening event was attended by many of the cast and creators of the musical, including composer/lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda, director Thomas Kail, music director/orchestrator/conductor Alex Lacamoire, producer Jeffrey Seller, executive producers Sander Jacobs, Jill Furman, and Maggie Brohn, and choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler. 

Also in attendance was Daveed Diggs, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Christopher Jackson, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Leslie Odom, Jr., Okieriete Onaodowan, Anthony Ramos, Phillipa Soo, Carleigh Bettiol, Ariana DeBose, Hope Easterbrook, Sydney James Harcourt, Sasha Hutchings, Elizabeth Judd, Austin Smith, and Ephraim Sykes.
