"What more can really be said about "Hamilton"? It's one of the greatest achievements of history-telling and history-making art of our recent era."- Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service
"This "live capture" version of Lin Manuel Miranda's Broadway rap opera about our ten-dollar Founding Father is the streaming event of the year, an indisputable classic that comes just in time to cure our pandemic blues."- Peter Travers. Rolling Stone
"Of all the new gems the film version unearths in the text, the richest might be those that transcend current events, those that help color vibrantly envisioned human relationships."- Lily Janiak, San Francisco Chronicle
"Hamilton on Disney+ continues to keep the magic of Broadway alive and continues to make it accessible drawing in a new audience of kids, teens, and adults who don't have the means to see it on stage."- Paul McGuire Grimes, Paul's Trip to the Movies
"It's said that live theater is like catching lightning in a bottle in that every night is different and can never be repeated. It's nice to have a bit of that lightning at your disposal courtesy of this movie."- Odle Henderson, Roger Ebert
"How does it play? With the same verbal and musical fireworks as the stage version, and with the same emotional kick, which is rooted in the casting."- John Anderson, Wall Street Journal
