You... what?
The musical was/is a cultural phenomenon, tickets sold out instantly, secondary market prices like 3 times above list price.
So having it filmed and placed on Disney+ allows those of us who couldn't get tickets or priced out an ability to watch it.
As for the musical itself, it's a incredibly well done history of Alexander Hamilton (which some exaggerations of course) done in a musical style of rap and hip-hop as well as some minor showtunes like stuff. The cast is almost all POC (King George III is white though).
