Hamilton Broadway Film Hits Theaters Sept. 5 with New Prologue
Today, The Walt Disney Studios announced that the filmed version of the original Broadway production of the Tony, GRAMMY, Emmy, and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Hamilton will open in theaters on September 5, 2025. Tickets are now available for purchase at Fandango and wherever tickets are sold.
The theatrical release of Hamilton expands upon the version available on Disney+ with the inclusion of “Reuniting the Revolution,” an exclusive special prologue to the film featuring all-new interviews with the original cast and creators as they reflect on the impact the show has had on their lives.
“When we filmed ‘Hamilton,’ we wanted to try to capture the feeling of being in the Richard Rodgers Theatre during that first year on Broadway,” says director/producer Thomas Kail, “and we’re thrilled that audiences will now have the opportunity to experience it on the big screen.”
To celebrate the theatrical release of Hamilton, a special premiere screening event will take place Wednesday, September 3, at the newly revitalized Delacorte Theater, home of The Public Theater’s Free Shakespeare in the Park. A limited number of advance tickets will be available for a donation beginning August 11.
A free ticket lottery distribution will be available at The Public Theater on September 3, as well as a free standby line in Central Park prior to the screening’s start. More information at PublicTheater.org. All advance ticket donations will benefit The Public Theater, where Hamilton originally debuted in 2015 before transferring to Broadway.
Hamilton will be released in theaters in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico on September 5, in the U.K. and Ireland on September 26, and in Australia and New Zealand on November 13.
An unforgettable cinematic stage performance, the filmed version of the original Broadway production of Hamilton combines the best elements of live theater and film to create a thrilling experience. Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now.
Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway, Hamilton has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre—a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education.
Filmed at The Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway in June of 2016, the film transports its audience into the world of the Broadway show in a uniquely intimate way.
With book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda and direction by Thomas Kail, Hamilton is inspired by the book Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow and produced by Thomas Kail, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Jeffrey Seller, with Sander Jacobs and Jill Furman serving as executive producers. RadicalMedia produced the filming.
The 11-time-Tony Award, GRAMMY Award, Olivier Award, and Pulitzer Prize-winning stage musical stars Daveed Diggs as Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson, Renée Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler, Jonathan Groff as King George, Christopher Jackson as George Washington, and Jasmine Cephas Jones as Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds.
The cast continues with Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton, Leslie Odom, Jr. as Aaron Burr, Okieriete Onaodowan as Hercules Mulligan/James Madison, Anthony Ramos as John Laurens/Philip Hamilton, and Phillipa Soo as Eliza Hamilton.
