Hamilton is almost universally depicted as an abolitionist in popular modern works, from Ron Chernowโs 2004 biography, โHamilton,โ to Lin-Manuel Mirandaโs Tony Award-winning show, โHamilton: An American Musical.โBut after poring over ledgers and correspondence of Hamilton and his wife, Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, Serfilippi, who works at the Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site in Albany, concluded that image falls short. Serfilippi said her research interest goes beyond debunking myths about Hamilton.

How many people saw 'Hamilton'? For now, that's a secret
(Disney Plus via AP)NEW YORK Disney+'s streaming of Hamilton was surely the biggest event on television screens over the holiday weekend. Hamilton is the poster boy for how the science of measurement is not keeping up with how entertainment content is being consumed. For example, Fox News Channel drew 5.7 million viewers on Friday night when it showed President Donald Trump speaking at Mount Rushmore. CBS had 3.3 million, ABC had 2.3 million, Univision had 1.4 million, Fox had 1.3 million, ION Television had 1 million and Telemundo had 820,000. ABC's World News Tonight led the evening newscasts with an average of 8.9 million viewers.

5 musicals that should be filmed for a streaming network since Broadway is still closed
Considering Disney+ saw a 72% increase in downloads of its app over the weekend, itโs safe to say that bringing musicals filmed on stage to a mass audience is a pretty good idea. Some will argue that theater is meant to be consumed live, but with so much uncertainty about when Broadway will return, itโs not a bad idea to start filming more Broadway musicals and plays for streaming networks. While itโs still a wildly popular musical, fans have been begging for some sort of movie version for years. Disneyโs most popular and long-running show on Broadway is โThe Lion King,โ and itโs hard to imagine the people wouldnโt love to watch a filmed version of this production. Do you plan to watch โHamilton?โ Are there any musicals youโd like to see from the comfort of your home?

No, the 'Hamilton' Movie Can't Win Any Oscars Next Year
Next year's Academy Awards will not be where it happens, if what's happening is Disney+'s Hamilton movie winning an Oscar. (After all, as the adjusted rule stipulates, the filmed version was originally slated to open in theaters.) According to the 93rd Academy Awards Special Rules for the Documentary Awards, "Works that are essentially promotional or instructional are not eligible, nor are works that are essentially unfiltered records of performances." According to Variety, the language barring recording stage production was added in 1997. Hamilton is currently streaming on Disney+, while the 93rd Oscars were recently postponed two months and are set to take place April 25, 2021.

What you need to know before streaming โHamiltonโ on Disney+ over the weekend
Since thereโs likely to be a good chunk of people who will watch โHamiltonโ over the weekend whoโve probably never seen it before, here is a quick rundown of what you need to know before experiencing the phenomenon. The โHamiltonโ on Disney+ is a filmed version of the show, not a movie. Itโs easy to call the version of โHamiltonโ coming out on Disney+ a movie, but technically, itโs the stage version, filmed. An actual movie version of โHamiltonโ will probably happen eventually, but this is a great way to really capture the magic of the stage version of the show. And because the people at Disney are incredibly smart, free trials of the streaming service have ended, so if you want to watch, youโre going to have to sign up.

Hamilton movie trailer released ahead of July 3 Disney+ premiere
(CNN) -- Broadway fans who couldn't get tickets for "Hamilton" will soon be able to watch one of its many sold-out performances from the comfort of their homes. A filmed version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical, created by Lin-Manuel Miranda, is set to premiere on streaming service Disney+ on July 3. The 60-second trailer, released Sunday, shows a montage of scenes from the critically acclaimed drama, set to a mash-up of the show's opening number, "Alexander Hamilton," and "Satisfied." The "Hamilton" movie was originally scheduled to arrive in cinemas in October 2021, but the studio opted to release the film early on its subscription streaming service amid the coronavirus pandemic. In May, cast member Diggs, who portrays Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson in the production, admitted he was "terrified" about the musical being released on Disney+.
