Today, 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 select Philippine cinemas for one week only starting on October 1, 2025.
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.”
“Hamilton” released in cinemas in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico on September 5, the U.K. and Ireland on September 26, and will be released 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. Filming was produced by RadicalMedia.
