Hamilton Film Returns to Theaters for 10th Anniversary With New Prologue

The cinema rollout aims to recreate the Broadway experience through a new interview prologue plus a timed intermission.

Overview

  • The theatrical run began September 5 in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, with the United Kingdom and Ireland opening September 26 and Australia and New Zealand on November 13.
  • Screenings include “Reuniting the Revolution,” a newly produced prologue featuring fresh interviews with the original cast and creators, and a ten-minute intermission to mirror a live performance.
  • A special September 3 screening at the Delacorte Theater reunited Lin-Manuel Miranda and most of the original Broadway company alongside members of the creative team.
  • The film was captured at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in June 2016 with the original cast and, after a pandemic pivot from a planned theatrical debut, first released on Disney+ in July 2020.
  • Lin-Manuel Miranda expressed hesitancy about commissioning a separate feature-film adaptation that would supersede the live capture, though some cast members said they would welcome the idea.
