“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,” director/producer Thomas Kail recently stated, “and we’re thrilled that audiences will now have the opportunity to experience it on the big screen.”
A special New York premiere screening was held September 3 at the Public Theater's newly renovated Delacorte.
