Hamilton arrives on Disney+ next week, just in time to give you something patriotic to watch for the July 4th holiday weekend. The first trailer for the recorded presentation of the Broadway sensation just arrived last weekend, and now a new Hamilton clip has debuted online that further shows how the Broadway production was recorded, complete with the original cast, to give viewers the ultimate immersive experience.
Hamilton Clip
The Hamilton clip comes from early in the show when Lin-Manuel Miranda takes the stage as Alexander Hamilton, complete with an introduction by Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr. In this clip, you can see how close-ups are employed by the camera crew, which was able to get right up in Miranda’s face. This appears to be achieved by having cameras on cranes out in the audience rather than having a camera on stage, which would have likely created some problems with the choreography.
Hamilton also 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, Jasmine Cephas Jones as Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds, Okieriete Onaodowan as Hercules Mulligan/James Madison, Anthony Ramos as John Laurens/Philip Hamilton, and Phillipa Soo as Eliza Hamilton.
Hamilton arrives exclusively on Disney+ on July 3, 2020.
