Hamilton original live cast film to debut in cinemas starting September 5

Hamilton’s live cast version will premiere in theatres on September 5, marking 10 years since its Broadway debut.

Lin‑Manuel Miranda has confirmed that the filmed version of Hamilton, featuring the original Broadway cast, will be released in cinemas on September 5 2025 in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico. The announcement was made during his appearance on The Tonight Show.

Miranda explained that the recording, captured live at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in June 2016, was initially intended for theatrical release.

However, the project shifted to streaming during the pandemic and debuted on Disney+ in July 2020. Miranda said, “So, Sept. 5, you will be able to see Hamilton in movie theatres nationwide.”

In addition to the screening in North America, the film is set to open in the UK and Ireland on September 26 and in Australia and New Zealand on November 13. Tickets are now available for purchase.

The theatrical version includes a new prologue, "Reuniting the Revolution", with interviews featuring the original cast and creators reflecting on the show’s legacy.

Director-producer Thomas Kail noted the intention to replicate “the feeling of being in the Richard Rodgers Theatre” for cinema audiences.

The cast includes Miranda as Alexander Hamilton, Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr, Daveed Diggs as Lafayette/Jefferson, Christopher Jackson as George Washington, Jonathan Groff as King George III, Renée Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler and Phillipa Soo as Eliza Hamilton.

Miranda’s interview coincides with the 10-year anniversary of Hamilton, which premiered in 2015 and went on to win 11 Tony Awards and a Pulitzer Prize. The film rights were reported to have sold for US $75 million, and the Disney+ version earned multiple Emmy wins.

A special premiere screening will be held on September 3 at Central Park’s Delacorte Theatre, with tickets available through a public donation and lottery system benefiting The Public Theater, where Hamilton originated.

This theatrical release represents the next stage in the musical’s global celebration and offers fans a chance to experience the original performance on the big screen.
