It can be really tough to get into a Broadway play. Socio-economic implications aside, popular performances are often relegated to raffles, barring a large number of people from actually seeing these walled-garden works of art. Disney+’s impeccably-edited Hamilton release might blow the doors off that notion.

To be perfectly clear, this is not a dramatization of Hamilton with elaborate sets. This is a literal live recording of the stage musical, stitched together from three performances in mid-2016. You’re getting the original cast (one of which even returned so it could be filmed in this “complete” fashion), all of which have gone on to become famous in their own right.

Final Thoughts:

Hamilton as a production may have flaws, but this adaptation is a great way to experience it, and I hope more plays follow suit.
