When is the Hamilton movie released on Disney+? What time the musical is available

And with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic meaning that Hamilton won't be returning to theatres in the near future, the film will come as very welcome news to the musical's many die-hard fans.

To celebrate the film arriving on Disney+, Miranda shared glimpses behind-the-scenes on Hamilton with fans on Twitter, giving die-hard followers a peek backstage on the production.

If that wasn't enough, he's also revealed a line which was cut from Hamilton because its reference was "too obscure".

The film experience will be as close as possible to the real thing, with Miranda confirming the film comes complete with intermission countdown and opening remarks from the character of King George III.

There are a couple of tiny tweaks, however. On Twitter, Hamilton creator Miranda explained how the show had been censored for Disney Plus.

"On July 3, you're getting the whole show, every note & scene, & a 1-minute countdown clock during intermission (bathroom!)" he tweeted. "But MPAA has a hard rule about language: more than 1 utterance of "F**k" is an automatic R rating. We have 3 "F***k" in our show. So...

"I literally gave two f**ks so the kids could see it," he quipped, saying the film mutes the expletive on one instance during the song Yorktown and another in Washington on Your Side.

"You can sing whatEVER you like at home (even sync up the album)!" he added.

What is the Hamilton movie about?

The Hamilton movie is filmed version of the original Broadway production created by Miranda, which tells the story of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.

Directed by Tommy Kail, it was filmed over several days in the week before the principals started to leave the production back in 2016.

Explaining the concept during an appearance on Good Morning America, Miranda previously said: “[Kail has] basically given everyone at home the best seat in the house and it’s a thrilling experience.

“He really threads the needle between these cinematic close-ups and widening out and seeing the show from the centre aisle of the Richard Rodgers Theatre.”

The original Broadway production won 11 Tony Awards as well as the Pulitzer Prize for drama.

Original cast member Daveed Diggs has said he's "terrified" about the Broadway production going on Disney Plus, as he's never actually seen his own performance in the musical before.

"It seems like it's going to make a lot of people very happy," he told Entertainment Weekly, before continuing, "I'm terrified. I've never seen myself do that and it's still the thing that most people talk to me about that I have done. One of the only reasons I can stand that kind of attention is that I haven't seen it.

"At some point, I'm going to be forced to watch it and actually deal with my own feelings about this. That is complicated for me, for the kind of artist I am, which is I don't really like to watch myself doing things. The sort of saving grace of a play is that I never have to watch myself doing it."
