‘Hamilton’ film director reveals details—30 cameras used, which songs were shot with and without audience

“So, we have two performances that were live. The film you see is taken from both of those. Then, we also had 13 numbers of the possible 46 that we got onstage and did it without an audience. So, the vast majority of the 33 numbers was all taken from the Sunday or the Tuesday.”He revealed, “Then we had some of the bigger numbers out there—‘Hamilton,’ ‘My Shot,’ ‘Satisfied,’ ‘Helpless,’ ‘Non-Stop,’ ‘One Last Time,’ ‘The Room Where It Happens.

The director, who once worked as an assistant of actress Audra McDonald, explained about filming those 13 songs minus an audience: “Most of the time, when we would do those numbers, even without an audience, we would run the whole number, just because we wanted to see what we could get. The numbers are not particularly long. And sometimes, it takes more out of your day to stop and start, as opposed to just run the whole thing, which takes three minutes.

The filmed version of “Hamilton” marks a new highlight in the long friendship and collaboration of Thomas and Lin-Manuel. Thomas was a senior, while Lin-Manuel was a freshman at the Wesleyan University, but contrary to reports, they did not actually meet in the school located in Connecticut. “Then, Lin went away and was doing other stuff. I was doing stuff. Then in 2011, he had another song. So, it took him two years to write the first two songs. I said, ‘Why don’t we start working on it more regularly?’ So, we did that in the end of 2011.

Jon M. Chu got to direct the movie adaptation of “In the Heights.” Thomas, who is called Tommy by his friends, was excited about Jon’s finished version of the musical.
