Show creator, Lin Manuel-Miranda (Moana, Mary Poppins Returns) has confirmed Hamilton has been censored to make the movie version of the mega-popular broadway show “family friendly” and receive a PG-13 rating so it could appear on Disney+. Disney+ has a hard “no” on R-rated films and any titles that may have been in theaters with th Restricted rating has either been moved to Hulu or censored for the streaming service, such as The Simpson’s Movie.
Manuel-Miranda confirmed the news via Twitter with a post that reads, “LANGUAGE! 1. On July 3, you’re getting the whole show, every note & scene, & a 1-minute countdown clock during intermission (bathroom!) 2. But MPAA has a hard rule about language: more that 1 utterance of “Fck” is an automatic R rating. We have 3 “Fcks” in our show. So… 1/2″ then continued in a second tweet, “…I literally gave two fcks so the kids could see it: 1. In Yorktown, there’s a mute over ” I get the f___ back up again” 2. “Southern *record scratchkin’ Democratic Republicans.” You can sing whatEVER you like at home (even sync up the album)! Love you. Enjoy.”

Lin Manuel-Miranda also confirmed details on the films premiere on Disney+ and squashed rumors that the show would only be available for one night, stating, “1. I know this now! It’s midnight July 3 PST, so that’s 3am for us in NY and east coast, do the math til your time zone. 2. Not just one day. 3. You will just have it. For as many times as you like, right next to A Goofy Movie and Talespin and An Extremely Goofy Movie… ❤️”
