HAMILTON – Review by Brandy McDonnell

Although it meant defusing a couple of f-bombs – which “Hamilton” producer, writer, composer and star Miranda, to his credit, accepted with good-natured humor – to land the PG-13 rating required for Disney+ release, having the stupendous show available on the popular streaming service is a huge victory.

Five years ago, theatergoers and critics were dazzled by this vivacious, culturally significant musical about the nation’s first Treasury secretary, political mastermind Alexander Hamilton. Now you can see the thrilling, live-capture, the 161-minute film version with the original principal Broadway cast.
