On August 5 Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda went on The Tonight Show to announce that the Disney pro-shot of the hit musical will be released in movie theatres September 5. But that's not all. Disney has also announced that this new theatrical release will include a special “Reuniting the Revolution" prologue—new interviews with the original cast and creators as they reflect on the impact the show has had on their lives. Hamilton is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary on Broadway.
Hamilton will be released in movie theatres in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico September 5, the U.K. and Ireland September 26, and Australia and New Zealand November 13. Tickets can be purchased at Fandango.com/Hamilton.
“When we filmed Hamilton, we wanted to try to capture the feeling of being in the Richard Rodgers Theatre during that first year on Broadway,” said director/producer Thomas Kail in a statement, “and we’re thrilled that audiences will now have the opportunity to experience it on the big screen.”
In addition to the rerelease, there will be a special screening of the Hamilton film September 3, at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, operated by the Public Theater. A limited number of advance tickets will be available for a donation beginning August 11. A free ticket lottery distribution will be available at The Public Theater September 3, as well as a free standby line in Central Park prior to the screening’s start. All advance ticket donations will benefit the Public Theater, where Hamilton made its world premiere in early 2015 before transferring to Broadway that summer. Visit PublicTheatre.org.
