• The 2016 live capture opens in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico on Sept. 5, with releases in the U.K. and Ireland on Sept. 26 and Australia and New Zealand on Nov. 13, and tickets available through Fandango.
• The re-release adds a new “Reuniting the Revolution” prologue featuring fresh interviews with the original cast and creators, and includes a 10-minute intermission to echo the stage experience.
• The original Broadway company reunited Sept. 3 for a rowdy Delacorte Theater screening in Central Park where fans and cast watched together, with Disney executives including CEO Bob Iger in attendance.
• Disney acquired the filmed production in 2020 for a planned theatrical debut that shifted to a Disney+ release during the pandemic, making this run the intended large-screen presentation.
• Asked about a separate feature adaptation, Lin-Manuel Miranda voiced skepticism about topping Thomas Kail’s filmed stage capture, while Renée Elise Goldsberry and other cast members suggested a movie could eventually happen.
