And it’s the restored cut that usually gets run on TCM these days, too.
(The one song wasn’t all that was restored–they restored whole swaths of dialogue that had been cut from the movie up until then. The director’s cut is probably one of the most stage-faithful movie musical adaptations there is.)
Despite the immense pressure someday (and inevitable boatloads of money)…I just don’t think Hamilton would work as a movie. It needs intimacy and artiface to pull you in. Ironically.
A preening, priggish prancing Jefferson (as an example) rapping on a beautiful, completely accurate set would just be a bridge too far IMO.
I’ve long said that I wanted to see a musical about the Bill of Rights.
I’d call it The Ten Amendments.
And yet it’s probably coming: Hamilton (musical) - Wikipedia
