The movie version does a great job of capturing the energy and emotion of the show and allows you to get a real feel for the flow and pacing of Hamilton for those who can't afford a ticket or who aren't scheduled to have a performance in their hometown. I've seen it on Disney+ and Live and it definitely loses some of it's power seeing it on the small screen rather than seeing it live and in person but that in no way diminishes what you're seeing. The acting of the Broadway cast is great and the music is very unique and fresh. There's a lot of hype around Hamilton and honestly I was preparing to be like, "Is this really what everyone has been talking about?" Let me tell you something Hamilton lives up to the hype. See it live if you can and if you can't watch it on Disney plus. Just remember it's a musical and not a documentary so any deviations from actual historical events or any creative additions aren't an attempt to change history but just create a fuller story around well known historical figures.
