When is Hamilton Live?

When is the Hamilton that was taped a few months back being broadcast?  I actually have it on my calendar for today (I must have marked it way back when they announced it), but I figure there would be more hype if that was the case.

Probably in 2400.

It was yesterday and you missed it.

Halfway between Jorge and Chewy's answer is correct.

 

PBS is showing a heavily edited program about Hamilton late next week.

 

Why would they show the whole thing for free now, mm?

Wow...sorry.  Didn't realise a simple question (and I guess misunderstanding) would get such sarcastic remarks.  I remember a few months back them talking about a taping.  Obviously I misunderstood.  I did mark PBS so that must have been what it was referring to.

mmFan, back in late June the entirety of Hamilton WAS recorded to eventually be released to the public. What these sarcastic posters are trying to say though is that it likely won't be released for a certain # of years now. Alas, there is a documentary that will be on PBS Friday entitled "Hamilton's America". 8 or 9pm I believe. Enjoy that for now at least!

Thanks for explaining.  So I wasn't totally off.  Will look for the documentary on PBS.  

PS - I never saw Hamilton (but have seen clips and did see In the Heights with LMM, which seems to similar rap style) so am curious with all the hype.

I've had the documentary marked on my calendar for some time....quite excited for it!

 

As for the sarcasm, it was never stated that the show would be aired on any specific date.  Only that it might be....some day.  It was common knowledge that parts of it would be used for the documentary airing Friday.

Yes, what you marked down on your calendar was indeed supposed to be for today.  The PBS documentary that was mentioned with other things Hamilton.  It was announced to be Oct 17.

I had this noted for today as well until my sister told me back in August that she couldn't wait to see the Hamildoc on October 21 and I told her no it was the 17th.  MY BAD!  They changed the date to a Friday night.

When you can buy Ham tickets at a discounted price.

Plus, the documentary is just that - a documentary about the creation of HAMILTON.  As with all documentaries, you'll see these performance clips interspersed but don't expect full performance footage of an entire number.  The B-Roll for the Broadway production has more full and complete clips than this documentary does.  

 

Can't wait for the threads of disappointed idiots upset longer clips weren't used as if the documentary was supposed to be footage of the cast performing the show.  It's not.
