‘Hamilton’ Is a Hit For Disney+. Will More Broadway Follow?
Is live theater the next stand-up comedy for streaming services?
A recording of a five-year-old Broadway musical is the most talked about new movie in the U.S. during July 4 weekend – a time typically ruled by blockbusters like “Apollo 13,” “Back to the Future” and “Men In Black.
Disney didn't plan to release "Hamilton" on streaming first when it paid $75 million for the project. It was going to release the film in theaters next year.
