How long will Hamilton be on Disney Plus?

If Hamilton does disappear into the Disney Vault, it won't happen anytime soon. The show's creator Lin-Manuel Miranda has assured viewers that they can watch Hamilton online as many times as they wish, just like A Goofy Movie, Talespin, and An Extremely Goofy Movie.

Is Hamilton on Disney Plus a movie?

The Hamilton movie is actually a filmed performance of the show on Broadway. The film was shot at the Richard Todgers Theatre in June 2016 and marks a major leap forward in the art of "live capture." Hamilton was originally slated to be released in cinemas worldwide in October 2021, but Disney have decided to bring it straight to your home video screen 15 months earlier than expected.

Is Hamilton on Disney Plus the full musical?

Yes. At two hours and 40 minutes, the Hamilton film has the same running time as the hit Broadway musical. There is also a one-minute intermission between the first and second acts, giving you plenty of time to run to the refrigerator for some snacks and beverages.

Does the Hamilton Disney Plus release have subtitles in other languages?

Due to the film's release being moved up by a year and a half, many subtitles have not yet been completed. However, translators are working day and night to localise subtitles for Hamilton, which will become available on the platform as soon as they have been translated.

Will Hamilton be censored on Disney Plus?

Not really. Only for the "f" word. Lin-Manuel Miranda has confirmed that three f-bombs will be removed and replaced with alternative, more family-friendly swear words for the songs "Yorktown" and "Washington on Your Side." This is in order for the show to have a PG-13 rating (12A in the UK) so that kids can watch too.
