The summer of song and storytelling will launch when the filmed version of the Broadway smash Hamilton is released for the first time in 4K UHD Blu-ray on June 16.
An unforgettable cinematic stage performance, the filmed version of the original Broadway production of Hamilton combines the best elements of live theater, film and streaming to bring the cultural phenomenon to homes around the world for a thrilling, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, Hamilton has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre—a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education. Filmed at The Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway in June of 2016, the film transports its audience into the world of the Broadway show in a uniquely intimate way.
The Collector’s Edition includes the all-new documentary Spark into a Flame: Hamilton & Hip-Hop, offering a closer look at the unexpected and groundbreaking connection between the Broadway sensation, the hip-hop roots that inspired it, and “The Hamilton Mixtape” that followed. The documentary features the voices of Hamilton writer, performer and creator Lin-Manuel Miranda along with many of the artists and creatives who had a front-row seat to the musical phenomenon, including music icons Busta Rhymes, Nas, Questlove, Black Thought, Angie Martinez, Common, Dessa, Residente and more.
While the passion and ingenuity expressed in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit Hamilton has enthralled audiences for over a decade, the power of its Tony and Pulitzer-winning performance will be even more grand in stunning Dolby Vision 4K picture quality and immersive Dolby Atmos audio presentation.
The Collector’s Edition offers the filmed Broadway production in 4K, plus a sing-along version, the “Reuniting the Revolution” featurette, and the Spark into a Flame: Hamilton & Hip-Hop documentary. Collectors will also enjoy owning memorabilia that includes a fabric poster, a set of collectible art cards, and a booklet of “Alexander Hamilton” lyrics and sheet music for piano.
