Hamilton (Disney Plus)
The most in demand musical is now streaming on demand.
Hamilton follows the founding of the United States
through the War of Independence and foundational
historical events up to 1804 through the perspective of
Alexander Hamilton. The musical really packs a musical
punch, there's really no dialogue outside of the songs
and they combine your typical broadway music with rap,
hip-hop, and jazz. Although the musical is about events
that are centuries old, it's incredibly relevant to
today. This is a story about America then, told by
America now. An engaging powerhouse of a musical that
really dives in to the human experience in an incredible
and educational way.

embark on a daring mission to unite the trolls and save the diverse melodies
from becoming extinct. A wonderful diversion for music lovers featuring the
voices of Rachel Bloom, Kelly Clarkson and Anna
Kendrick.
