History has its eyes on us once again: Hamilton, the award-winning Broadway musical that redefined theater, is making its way to Philippine cinemas for one week only starting October 1, 2025. Walt Disney Studios has confirmed the special release, giving Filipino audiences the rare chance to experience Lin-Manuel Miranda’s cultural phenomenon on the big screen.

Beyond its iconic status, this cinematic release includes “Reuniting the Revolution”—an exclusive prologue with new interviews from the original cast and creators, reflecting on the show’s lasting impact. It’s not just a film; it’s a revolution revisited.

Here are five reasons you can’t miss it:

1. A Broadway Classic in Cinematic Scale

Not everyone gets the chance to fly to New York and watch Hamilton live at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. This release bridges that gap, capturing the intensity and intimacy of the original 2016 performance with all its powerful staging, choreography, and music—only this time, magnified for the big screen.

2. The Exclusive Prologue, “Reuniting the Revolution”

This bonus content, unavailable on Disney+, features fresh interviews with Lin-Manuel Miranda, the cast, and creators. It’s a behind-the-scenes reflection that adds depth and heart for longtime fans and newcomers alike.

3. The Music That Shaped a Generation

From “My Shot” to “Wait For It” and “The Room Where It Happens,” the musical’s hip-hop, R&B, jazz, and Broadway fusion not only reshaped theater but also became part of global pop culture. On cinema speakers, the score resonates in a way no streaming experience can match.

4. Award-Winning Cast at Their Peak

This filmed version preserves the legendary performances of Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr, Renée Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler, Phillipa Soo as Eliza Hamilton, Daveed Diggs as Lafayette/Jefferson, Jonathan Groff as King George, Christopher Jackson as George Washington, and Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton. It’s theater history, frozen in time.

5. A Cultural Event, Not Just a Screening

Hamilton is a cultural milestone that has influenced politics, education, and storytelling worldwide. Watching it in cinemas alongside other fans makes it a shared, electric experience unlike any other.

Where to Watch: Participating Malls

This is your chance to be in “the room where it happens.” Experience Hamilton like never before—on the big screen, with exclusive content, and only for a limited time.
