“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. 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.

To Access:

A Bit More Info

Disney Plus is about to get its biggest release to date, as Lin-Manuel Miranda's Pulitzer Prize-winning Hamilton: An American Musical lands on the streaming service Friday. His visionary take on the "ten-dollar Founding Father without a father" is a cultural phenomenon rather than just another Broadway smash …

The version available for streaming this week was filmed at New York's Richard Rodgers Theatre in 2016 and features the original cast of the show, including Miranda himself as Alexander Hamilton alongside 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.

      Their show in broad way is the most expensive to go to.

      Costing up to thousands of dollars to watch

    • bluesky on 02/07/2020 - 20:43
      +21

      It was scheduled to come to Australia - tickets are typically above $100. Considering COVID means that many of us who wish to watch this show may never get a chance to watch it at all now, to be able to watch the original cast Hamilton show at home for $8.99 (or free with woolworths rewards) sure looks like a bargain for us. Although clearly not for you.

      But this could be said for all bargains, couldn't it? Many deals are bargains for some and not for you, because it is not what you are seeking.

          I don't know about others - I am sure quite a few people, including myself, will have reservations about going to a theatre, perhaps for a long time. Even if they are open, and supposedly safe. Until a vaccine is found, of course.

            @BillyG687: When was the last time a Broadway show in Australia was the original cast? This argument is just absurd.

            Every single broadway show is filmed for posterity. This particular show had a pro-shot version. No different than the Rent finale recording etc.

            Broadways Shrek has an excellent filmed recording of the live cast but that didn’t stop people from seeing it when it was here just a few months ago.

            Fans of musicals have always enjoyed filmed musicals as well as seeing shows live. We waited years for Book of Mormon and I’m sure that even with delays due to COVID, we will eventually get to see Hamilton here.

            They are even doing a drive in version of Six. Theatre is going to be different for a while but theatre is not dead. OG cast doesn’t mean that much, it’s why shows on Broadway and the West End go on for years. The OG cast win the awards and are on the recordings but that’s about it. Theatre lives on.

        Nah its just advertising a new show on <insert streaming service>/Gaming platform> which still requires a subscription.

        2 weeks free disney+, now that was a bargain!

      • D3m3ntia on 02/07/2020 - 22:12

        Tickets typically over $100? Dude, a standard show these days is over $100. Hamilton tickets start at several hundred when converted to AUD, and that's provided you can actually score seats for it.

        • bluesky on 02/07/2020 - 22:16

          Yes, I was being conservative here- assuming one can wait till there are late-season offers, like those posted on OzB and elsewhere in the past.

      To be fair, this is like having GTA 6 being announced for Gamepass. Hamilton is regarded as one of the best shows to be on Broadway. Having an original cast recording released is a pretty big deal.

      You're argument doesn't make sense, you're basically saying that only deals you approve of should be posted.

        Maybe a couple of games a month get added to subscription services. There are probably hundreds of movies and tv shows added to streaming services A DAY. So where do you draw the line?

    I was lucky enough to see this twice in New York and in Chicago. I thoroughly enjoy the show and have listened to the soundtrack enough times to know all of the words. But as a bargain, sorry no.

    This filmed version was always going to be released at some point, whether in theatres or like this.

    Simply being made available on a streaming platform, does not a bargain make.

    • voteoften on 02/07/2020 - 21:00

      You just nail it - "at some point" is way lower utility than "at this point".
      By your own account, you were lucky enough to see it twice, so of course your valuation of this access has dropped.
      Spare a thought for some of us who are going to miss it (due to COVID). Hence why this is valued highly and provides some compensation.

    A new title added to a subscription service is not a deal, the subscription service ITSELF can be considered a deal though. This is a PSA more than anything.

      I added this as a $8.99 find, or free with Woolworths Rewards. The fact that it happens to be a subscription platform was coincidental. A moderator changed the deal title, which is completely understandable and makes sense too.

      BTW I did not neg you.

    I'm torn between watching this before I've seen it live on stage (yes I realise this will be better).

    • gr33nhouse on 02/07/2020 - 21:37
      +4

      Honestly, whilst this will be an epic presentation with the original cast, and I’m so excited, watching this filmed version would be akin to listening to a cast recording before seeing a show.

      A lot of the magic of the staging, choreography, lighting and effects will be far more fantastic being in person watching this live on stage.

      Both can exist and if this encourages more people to get into the arts and live theatre, even better.

    • b0sanac on 04/07/2020 - 23:09

      I decided to watch it anyway, because it's the original cast and all. If/when it comes down here it's very unlikely to be all the original cast.

    So how do we post [SUBS] deals whenever there is a new movie or TV show available on VOD subscription services without the deal being removed reason being it is viewed as a joke post as has occurred previously? Why is this deal specifically okay and others not? What is the criteria?

    This is an honest question as the guidelines are not really clear and deal posters can't distinguish between what is okay to post and what isn't - or am I not up to date and there are no restrictions now? And if so won't people just spam deals on here?

    • Gabehcoud on 02/07/2020 - 22:16

      It's usually pretty easy to tell I reckon. See a new [SUBS] post and then look at who posted it. Usually about 30 mins earlier they were having a massive Reeeeeeee on someone else's post. The description is usually dripping with sarcasm also.

          Fair enough.
          Disney streaming it has nothing to do with its prominence, I just find it very surprising anyone that follows even a small amount of theatre had not heard of Hamilton given its the most successful in both awards, box office and its mainstream coverage for years.

          Myself, I'm not into theatre or musicals at all generally, but a few years ago saw it in the news and started listening to the original Broadway cast recording to see what it was about.
          Listened to it a large number of times since.
          If you'd never heard of it like you say, and also follow a little bit of theatre, then it's definitely earnt at least a chance.

    Question: Is the voice/singing actually 'live' singings from the recorded stage performance, or is it lipsing/ post-production vocals. Because the vocal performance and sound qaulity sounds soo good from the trailer and they don't even have proper mics on.

    Anyway so excited to see the film, huge fan of the musical recording!

    • bluesky on 02/07/2020 - 23:02

      Here is info I can find:

      The movie features most of the original cast and was recorded at the Richard Rodgers Theatre over three days in June 2016: two days of filming with a live audience, and one where they shot close-ups and other angles. The movie is directed by Thomas Kail, who also directed the stage version.

      Given the live audience, I am inclined to think that most of it is sung live.

        Your distinction, while theoretical, is quite meaningless as a measure of value/bargain for some of us. It stems from the reasoning that a subscription is a sunk cost, therefore, anything that comes along with it has $0 marginal cost. And hence, not a bargain.

        But this fails to acknowledge that a number of us would not have signed up, except as a once-off, to avail ourselves of this show. And by all accounts, including your own, this is a pretty impressive show.

        I discovered about this release just today on TV. All of a sudden, I was trying to find ways to watch it cheaper, if possible. Had the distribution medium been: Pay $8.99, or $0 using a WW code - to watch or rent the Blu-Ray, it would pass for a bargain. But instead, they require a subscription sign-up.

        This is a technicality. In reality, and for all practical purposes, it has not diminished the value one bit, to those like me. If anything, the value is enhanced, with all the other stuff from channel to check out.

          "Your distinction, while theoretical, is quite meaningless as a measure of value/bargain for some of us. It stems from the reasoning that a subscription is a sunk cost, therefore, anything that comes along with it has $0 marginal cost. And hence, a bargain."

          While, I understand your opinion I remove one word in that sentence and the sentiment can be very different for others….

          I personally choose not to neg the deal as while I want to lean to a side of an argument, your point isn't invalid(plus as others have stated with game pass its still the same thing)

          It's the whole drawing the line in the sand that get people annoyed… and personal preferences :P

          Only the streaming Hotel Quarantine Security reality show is more controversial, bluesky…
          You are a troublemaker.

            @[Deactivated]: Me, a troublemaker!? 😊 I did not anticipate that there would be any controversy! Just so excited when I heard it on TV and went about searching for a deal to see it for the cheapest price.

            Thought I would share this for the benefit of others who might also like to watch this but were unaware of its release (like me) and this deal.

            All worth the effort, I think … including the negs! 😊

            I trust you are keeping well, able to be out and about in sunny Qld. Many of us in Vic are back in lockdown, and we have to be very vigilant again.
