They do the first song (all apart of course) and it is awesome.
Alas, no Hamilton in SF so I can’t enter the lottery any more. I won again a few weeks before the shutdown.
The cast will stream a “HamAtHome” singalong of the entire show this Friday. #HamAtHome: Live sing-along of entire Hamilton album with cast members [04/10/20]
This is Must See Youtube!
Thank you, Mars Horizon! 
if you click that link for the singalong it is updated to say it’s cancelled.
Probably a rights issue. The “Grand Rights” associated with a musical are dramatically more expansive and expensive than the performance rights to perform a song alone are.
Well, that would explain why I couldn’t get the BroadwayWorld article to load. Bummer!
With everyone stuck at home JK Rowling gave rights to anyone to read her books in videos.
This. Is. AWESOME!
The live taping of Hamilton will drop on Disney+ July 3rd:
Trailer is out:
For a taping of a Broadway play it looks really well done.
Looking forward to this very much.
Don’t like rap or musicals and to me it makes no sense at all to have a rap version of 1776 era. Maybe my GF will watch it . Does disney+ have a free trial period?
They have a 7 day free trial. I would be curious just to see how many thousands cancel on July 10!
I will be one of those thousands.
Not anymore. They just removed the free trial - probably just for this reason.
Ah, well dang. Still, less than a Hamilton to watch Hamilton is pretty sweet deal.
You can still cancel anytime so they just get 1 month cash if you cancel right away.
Well, NUTS.

OK. I can shell out for a month if it means getting to watch this.
We watched it last night as part of our Independence Day celebrations, and really enjoyed it. Not as good as seeing a live stage performance, but the next best thing, and still highly recommended.
Some interesting trivia from IMDB:
At the time the show was filmed, Jonathan Groff had already left the role of King George, replaced by Rory O’Malley. He returned especially for this filming. He also provides, in character, the voice of the pre-show announcer at the beginning of the film, welcoming the audience to the show. O’Malley and Brian d’Arcy James, who had played King George in the original off-Broadway cast and was the only cast member not to join the rest of the cast on Broadway, are given special thanks in the credits.
Filmed over the course of three days in June 2016. It started by filming a live Sunday matinee performance with cameras in the audience, after which the cast and crew spent the rest of the day and evening filming close-ups, dolly shots and crane shots. Filming continued all day Monday (normally the cast’s day off) with more close-ups and Steadicam footage. More filming took place on Tuesday morning, before shooting another live performance on Tuesday evening, with cameras again in the audience but in different positions. Lin-Manuel Miranda said, “it was basically a three-day film shoot with the best-rehearsed cast in the history of the movies, 'cause we’d all been doing the show for a year at this point.”
Over 100 microphones were used to record the live-on-stage movie version, but Miranda allowed two obscenities in the libretto to be deleted in order to secure a PG-13 rating,
The cost of filming the show in June 2016 for later exhibition as an independent movie was financed by its three main producers for less than $10 million. In February 2020, Disney paid $75 million for the worldwide rights to release it, believed to be the largest price ever paid for a single film acquisition…
