The original Broadway production of Hamilton is coming to Disney Plus UK

The original Broadway production of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton is coming to Disney+.

The special, which was filmed live onstage at the Richard Rodgers Theatre will be available to stream exclusively from July 3.

Performing to sold-out crowds each night the story is inspired by the 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton and casts non-white actors as the Founding Fathers of America and other historical figures.

The show combines traditional-style show tunes alongside hip hop, R&B, pop and soul in its musical numbers for a modern twist on history.

Since its premier in 2015 the show went on to be nominated for a record-breaking 16 Tony Awards, winning 11 and received the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

It's since toured across North America, opened in Chicago and will head to Hamburg and Sydney for the first time.

In 2017 the show opened on London's West End to critical acclaim and is currently running at the Victoria Palace Theatre.

If you've never had a chance to see the musical live, or want to re-live it then the show will be available on Disney+ from July 3.

You can sign up for a free seven-day trial and then pay £5.99 per month or £59.99 per year. To find out more go to www.disneyplus.com.
