Hamilton on Disney Plus review: A heartwarming hybrid of play and movie - CNET

The film version of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway hit isn't exactly like going to the theater, but it still delivers a theatrical thrill.

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton, the Broadway musical hit you've been obsessing about for years but couldn't get tickets for, starts streaming on Disney Plus July 3. .

Watching the story of founding father Alexander Hamilton from home doesn't feel like watching the play live with an audience.

This filmed version of Hamilton was captured at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway in June 2016 with the original cast.

Kail makes sure to deliver on Miranda's promise of getting you the "best seat in the house." The play has been shot from different angles in the audience.

This filmed version of Hamilton democratizes the viewer's experience, but it's also hard to forget that what's been captured here was a play and not a movie.

But once you've acclimated to the idea of this hybrid between a play and a TV movie, you can start relishing Hamilton.

I still prefer the thrill of watching a play live, but I can definitely settle to fare like Hamilton on Disney Plus for the meantime.

You know, the whole writing like he's running out of time Hamilton does. .

On occasion, I preferred aspects of the Disney Plus Hamilton experience -- it being much cheaper than theater tickets for starters.
