Finally.
What happened to the recording of the final show with the cast they were supposed to release at some point?

I feel like that show already jumped the shark awhile back. But good on the cast for getting that disney money.
Hell yes! I never saw the theater production, but I am excited to see how they adapt the play for the movie-going public.
This isn't really a "movie version," just a filming of the stage production.

Wait, so let me get this straight - this is just the Broadway play which the public will get to see in theaters?
This sounds like just a filming of the stage performance, not a typical movie.
That's exactly what this is, I'm pretty sure. Disney just bought the rights to it.
tbh, I don't expect the inevitable film adaptation to measure up.
With the original cast - the ones performing on the original soundtrack.
Yes, a recording of the performance on Broadway. Not a movie.
Selfishly - I'd much rather see a gigantic Busby Berkeley expansion (as they're doing with In the Heights) and sea battles and revolutionary war and cannons and whatnot.
I'm excited that more people will get to see the original musical of course - but the medium of film is better suited to immersive spectacle. I've seen Hamilton twice now at the theater and it's literally a work of genius, the best musical ever made IMO, but if anything the theater setting makes it feel contained and swollen - like it's on the precipice of exploding into real worlds and special effects and so on.
It's amazing to be in that theater, but being there is 80% of the feeling. It won't work as film as well.
Also, they filmed and captured the audio for this years ago and I'm not sure why what's effectively an editing job is going to take two years to make.
edit. Here's me at the Broadway show, with tickets picked up as last minute cancelations which is (usually but not guaranteed and you NEED a printer - digital tix don't work but kinkos or a hotel will hook you up) very easy to do. And look at these seats!!!!!

Wild that they have been sitting on this for so long. But makes sense to squeeze all the money out of the nationwide tour before putting this out.
That is incorrect. See my more recent posts. I am excited about this. I will see this opening day in theaters! I love the songs and the original concept that LMM came up with to introduce Hamilton to a new generation of children.
2021 is looking exciting!
They're maximizing profit not editing for 2 years.
$$$$$$$$
It's still making big bucks on stage
