Disney Releases Chill-Inducing Trailer for 'Hamilton' on Disney+

It wasn’t going to be a challenge for Disney to get theatre fans excited for the release of Hamilton on Disney+ on July 3rd.

But they certainly turned things up with a new trailer released yesterday. Here it is.

The film features members of the original cast, including Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr., Daveed Diggs, Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Christopher Jackson, Anthony Ramos, Jonathon Groff, Okieriete Onaodowan and Jasmine Cephas Jones.

Disney paid $75 million for the rights to Miranda’s musical, a mighty fee for a show that premiered on Broadway in 2015. “Hamilton” had a record-setting 16 Tony nominations and won 11 of them, including best musical. It also won the Pulitzer Prize for drama that year.

The musical’s release on the streaming network has had some controversy surrounding it. Original cast member Betsy Struxness criticized Disney’s advertising that it had the original Broadway cast when in fact, the filmed version was recorded after she and another original cast member had left the production.

Also, Disney Plus stopped offering free trials, less than three weeks before the musical is set to premiere, leaving some fans angered that they won’t be able to see the show for free as opposed to paying the $6.99 monthly price for the streaming network.
