When Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeted the news that the movie adaptation of his groundbreaking Broadway show Hamilton was set for release by Disney in fall 2021, he omitted one of the most breathtaking parts of the deal. According to sources, Disney beat out other suitors and paid $75 million for worldwide rights to the show that won 11 Tony Awards in 2016, as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Disney won the deal with a commitment for a wide global theatrical release for the 2 hour, 40 minute movie, which was shot two weeks before the original cast left. Alexander Hamilton (1757 – 1804) was an American statesman, politician, legal scholar, military commander, lawyer, banker, and economist. He was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He was an influential interpreter and promoter of the U.S. Constitution, as well as the founder of the nation's financial system, the Federalist Party, the United States Coast Guard, and the New York Post newspaper. As the first Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton was the main author of the economic policies of George Washington's administration. Hamilton was born out of wedlock in Charlestown, Nevis. Nevis, is a small island in the Caribbean Sea that forms part of the inner arc of the Leeward Islands. Charlestown is the capital of the island of Nevis, in the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, Leeward Islands, West Indies. He was orphaned as a child and taken in by a prosperous merchant. When he reached his teens, he was sent to New York to pursue his education. He took an early role in the militia as the American Revolutionary War began. Hamilton continued his legal and business activities in New York City, and was active in ending the legality of the international slave trade. There were news that it would take a while before anyone sees Hamilton onstage again. But there's now another option: Disney announced on Wednesday that it plans to stream a filmed version of the stage production from July 3 on Disney+. The plan is a pandemic-prompted push: just three months ago, Disney announced that it was preparing the film for release on October 15, 2021. But the cancellation of all live performances, as well as the uncertain appeal of cinema, led the company to fast-track the film, moving up the release date by 15 months.
