The Wall Street Journal:

“Hamilton" may be coming to movie theaters, exactly as audiences saw it on Broadway.

Hollywood studios are currently bidding for the big-screen rights to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit musical about founding father Alexander Hamilton, according to people involved in sales talks. But in an unusual twist, the “Hamilton" movie won’t be a filmed adaptation. Instead, it is a recording of the show made in 2016 with its original cast, including Mr. Miranda in the lead role.

Apparently the asking price is a cool $50 Million.

I’d go see it in a movie theater immediately, but at the same time, this feels like such a layup for Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Apple’s soon-to-exist video service: the modern Broadway classic, in the comfort of your home.

I give it 5 more years after this until it gets a proper, superstar-filled movie adaptation.
