It was three years ago, on July 3, that Hamilton debuted on Disney Plus. Filmed at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway in June 2016, the stage show features Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton, Daveed Diggs as Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson, Renée Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler, Leslie Odom, Jr. as Aaron Burr and Christopher Jackson as George Washington.
Created by Miranda, Hamilton is inspired by the Ron Chernow biography and covers the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton and his role in the American Revolution.
