Hamilton fans, it’s time to rise up — the Tony, Grammy and Pulitzer-award winning musical is finally available to stream, and theater fans everywhere are already dissecting the movie spot all of the Hamilton Easter eggs on Disney+. The „live-capture“ version of the hit Broadway musical was filmed at the Richard Rogers Theater over the course of three nights back in 2016, with the original Broadway cast, including writer and composer Lin-Manuel Miranda in the titular role.
The film was originally scheduled for a theatrical premiere in October 2021, but due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Disney announced in May that they had decided to make it available to stream early. „I’m so proud of how beautifully [director] Tommy Kail has brought ‘Hamilton’ to the screen. He’s given everyone who watches this film the best seat in the house,“ Miranda said in a press release at the time. In the process, the Hamilton team has managed to make the experience immersive enough for those who haven’t yet had the chance to see the show on stage, while also packing in plenty of small nods to those who have seen the show — or who just happen to be Hamilton obsessives.
From character beats impossible to pick up on the cast recording to the show’s Marvel-style ending credits, here are all of the Hamilton Easter eggs that fans are currently obsessing over.
At the start of every Broadway show, there is a courtesy announcement asking the audience to turn off their phones and to remind them not to take photos of videos of the show.
