Cultural phenomenons don't get much bigger than Hamilton: An American Musical - and now, Lin-Manuel Miranda's Pulitzer Prize-winning retelling of the Alexander Hamilton story is coming to Disney Plus. Here's how to watch Hamilton online and stream it from the comfort of your home.
How to watch Hamilton
Hamilton is available to watch via the Disney Plus streaming service from Friday, July 3. Disney Plus costs just $6.99/£5.99 a month, so it's cheaper to watch Hamilton than it is to rent movies online.
Hamilton's release date is July 3 in the US, UK, and all other Disney Plus markets. The cinematic version of the show was originally scheduled to hit theaters on October 2021, but it's been fast-tracked to streaming due to the coronavirus pandemic and now lands just in time for the 4th of July.
The version available for home viewing this week was filmed at New York's Richard Rodgers Theatre in 2016 and features the original cast of the show, including Miranda himself, Daveed Diggs, Phillipa Soo, and many other standout performances. Scroll down for full details of the original Hamilton cast that won 11 Tony Awards - Broadway's equivalent of the Oscars.
The film carries a PG-13 rating in the US, which is roughly equivalent to a 12A in the UK, and means that it has to mute two of its three F-bombs to make it suitable for Disney Plus audiences. Some of the most popular numbers in the show are My Shot, Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down) and Wait For It.
So whether you're a die-hard fan who's seen the show live multiple times, or a first-timer who couldn't quite secure tickets for its sellout Broadway and West End runs, your home is the room where it happens this week - here's how to watch Hamilton online with Disney Plus this week.
