This is a holiday for those who love screen content that flows to us from the big clouds on the site, the day when Disney Plus began broadcasting in Israel and the legal content supply in streaming doubled all at once. Netflix is no longer alone. A few clicks and you are in the rich content world of Disney Plus, with all its hits and winning brands. And on this festive evening you are probably asking yourself: What is the best thing Disney Plus has to offer me? The answer varies from viewer to viewer, of course, fans of Star Wars and Marvel’s Pan Boys probably have their own answers, hipsters will say it’s Atlanta ‘but no one listens to them, so the decision is again in our hands and we say the best thing to see at Disney Plus – objectively and according to Hard parameters of quality – this is the beautifully filmed version of the musical “Hamilton”.
“Hamilton” tells the story of the father of the American nation, Alexander Hamilton, in a musical that is mainly based on pop, hip-hop, R&B and soul. It’s the musical that turned Lynn-Manuel Miranda into an award-winning superstar creator (though “In The Hights” marked him as the next thing even earlier). The musical was a huge hit from the moment it hit Off Broadway in 2015, through the moment it became the best-selling musical on Broadway in that year ($ 30 million even before its premiere) to the present day where it is an unprecedented cultural phenomenon, and not just in its genre. “Hamilton” is a sweeping and addictive pop work even if you did not dream of becoming interested in American history.

The achievement here is in being able to convey Hamilton’s complex historical story in such an innovative, ironic, critical and clever way without alienating the audience. In Corona’s 2020, a huge fortune was invested in creating a well-filmed version of the theatrical musical for cinematic and television distribution, starring Miranda himself, and Disney purchased it for exclusive distribution for $ 75 million. The result is dizzying and was nominated for 12 Emmy Awards, and now you too can be a pan-boys and pan-girls of the great musical of our time and watch it over and over and over and over again until you know all the songs by heart. Thanks Disney Plus Thanks.
