Fortunately, Miranda has taken pity on those of us who couldn’t get to New York City in time, and revealed to USA Today that Hamilton will be filmed before his departure.
The Hamilton creator has been cast in the upcoming sequel to Marry Poppins, and is known for wanting to turn his In the Heights musical into a Hollywood film. The musical has just brought home about a billion Tony Awards, but there have also been murmurings that Miranda’s time starring in the play was coming to a close.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Miranda said that he and some other members of the cast were contracted through July, but didn’t go into detail about his plans. I’ve got my fingers crossed for a Fathom Events showing (or similar), and don’t even dare hope for a longer theatrical run.
