The hit Pulitzer prize-winning musical, Hamilton, has a massive fan base across the world but only a few have actually experienced Lin Manuel Miranda’s hit musical in all its glory. Making the iconic musical more accessible, Disney is all set to release a film of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical and it will feature the original Broadway cast. The film will hit movie theatres in North America on October 15, 2021. Miranda’s musical is inspired by the 2004 biography of Alexander Hamilton by historian Ron Chernow.
