OK, so you’ve seen the new “Hamilton” film. Now what?
Let’s discuss.
One week after premiering “Hamilton,” the filmed version of the original Broadway production, Disney+ is releasing a new special conversation special, in which cast members and historians address the legacy of the groundbreaking musical.
“Hamilton: History Has Its Eyes on You” drops Friday, July 10 on the streaming service.
Hosted by ABC News’ “Good Morning America” co-anchor Robin Roberts, “Hamilton: History Has Its Eyes On You” is described as “an intimate discussion” about the film and features “Hamilton”’s creator, its director and cast members of the original Broadway production.
A Harvard Historian also shares insight on the historical relevance and accuracy of the production.
“It was an immense pleasure speaking with this talented group,” said Roberts in a statement released by Disney. “After you listen to their insights and perspectives it will heighten your viewing of Hamilton. Such an engaging, enlightening conversation.”
“Hamilton: History Has Its Eyes On You” features creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda, director Thomas Kail, cast members from the original Broadway production; Christopher Jackson (George Washington), Leslie Odom Jr.(Aaron Burr), Phillipa Soo (Eliza Hamilton), Renée Elise Goldsberry, (Angelica Schuyler), Daveed Diggs (Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson) and Harvard historian and Professor Annette Gordon-Reed. Okieriete Onaodowan (Hercules Mulligan and James Madison) appears in the tape piece at the top of the show.
The special, says producers, encompasses topics that range from questions about the show’s creation and creative process to its remarkable relevance and today’s current social and political realities.
As America tries to undergo a right-now revolution in racial awareness, can parallels with “Hamilton’s” take on the 1776 American Revolution guide its audience’s thoughts and feelings? Is “Hamilton” true to history, and what can we learn from what really happened more than 250 years ago as our nation began to search for the meaning of freedom?
