In this image released by Disney Plus, Lin-Manuel Miranda portrays Alexander Hamilton, left, and Phillipa Soo portrays Eliza Hamilton in a filmed version of the original Broadway production of"Hamilton." NEW YORK -- Lin-Manuel Miranda likes to picture the millionaire, Mr. Howell, from "Gilligan's Island," saying the brag. You know the one. "Well, I saw it with the original cast.
"Hamilfilm," as it's been nicknamed, will land in homes just days after Broadway announced that its shutdown will continue through at least the end of the year due to the pandemic. Disney, which acquired the film for $75 million, will sacrifice whatever the box-office returns might have come for a major boost to its streaming service and a rush of virtual togetherness. With the stage all to itself, "Hamilton" arrives as a godsend to theatregoers.
For Kail, who spoke by Zoom alongside Miranda, it means giving everyone the same seat -- and a chance to dig even deeper into "Hamilton." Now, the "Rise up!" verses of "My Shot" will sound to many like they're channeling the protest spirit that has swept across the country since the death of George Floyd. "Hamilton" remains a story of revolution -- a triumphant and tragic one told passionately by performers of colour. Everyone who perishes in "Hamilton," Miranda points out, dies from gun violence.
Trump's angry response in a series of tweets, Miranda considers "a very early glimpse of the Trump playbook." Soon, the line "Immigrants, they get the job done" became a more pronounced rallying cry.
.....uhm........a bit rich in this day of cancelling any white person portraying a coloured person to have revisionist history and have black actors portray whites
