Hoping to lure more subscribers to its already 50-million-and-counting viewer base, Disney+ is debuting the filmed version of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway phenomenon “Hamilton” on the service July 3. Theatergoers and fans of the Tony and Pulitzer Prize winner know it’s a hot ticket at any cost, and with theaters nationwide shuttered a cool $6.99 a month to watch the movie version can’t be beat. Watch a new trailer for the upcoming premiere below.
While Disney’s decision to postpone a theatrical release for “Hamilton” and shuffle it straight to streaming comes at a box-office loss, its gains stand to be even bigger. When Disney bought the musical for $75 million back in February, the studio also nabbed a potential franchise. Plus, the inevitable flood of new subscribers looking to tune into Miranda’s genre-hopping sensation about the life of Alexander Hamilton puts serious heat on Netflix in the fierce streaming wars.

Before he scored gigs in a concert version of “In the Heights” and the original production of “Hamilton,” Anthony Ramos was ready to abandon his acting ambitions. “I wanted to quit a few times,” the actor said an interview this week. “I didn’t feel like there was a space for me, like anyone was going to give me a shot. Nobody’s in a rush to write a leading role for a barely 5’9, 150-pound Latino dude with freckles. Nobody out here was like, I can’t wait to write the next lead role for that guy. Shows like ‘In the Heights’ and ‘Hamilton’ changed that rhetoric.”
The past decade has given the 28-year-old actor and songwriter plenty of reasons for confidence. After originating the roles of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s 2015 Broadway sensation, Ramos was cast as the lead in John M. Chu’s snazzy...
