How Much Does Disney+ Cost a Month? Is It Worth It to Watch ‘Hamilton’?

No need to wait for it: Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony award-winning musical Hamilton is coming to our homes, at last! On July 3, the Alexander Hamilton-inspired musical will land on the Disney+ streaming platform. Subscribers will be able to watch the original stage production of Hamilton, featuring Miranda, Phillipa Soo, Leslie Odom Jr., Daveed Diggs, and more. This is really exciting for Hamilton superfans and history buffs alike — but is it worth the price of a Disney+ subscription?

When it opened on Broadway, Hamilton soared to the top of the box office. One Hamilton ticket, on average, ran upwards of $300 on the weekdays and nearly $900 on weekends and holidays. The show garnered a record-setting 16 nominations at the 2016 Tony Awards, and won Best Musical. Hamilton was quite the hit. While we may not be able to catch the original live version in all its glory, this Disney+ feature is sure to recreate the once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Here’s all you need to know about getting a Disney+ subscription to watch Hamilton:

How much does Disney+ cost a month?

Disney+ costs $6.99 every month, or $69.99 for a yearly subscription. If you sign up for the monthly subscription, Disney+ allows subscribers to cancel at any time before the end of the billing cycle.

Can I use a free trial to watch Hamilton on Disney+?

Unfortunately, Disney+ has ended its free trial program.

Is a Disney+ subscription worth it to watch Hamilton?

For sure. The cost to subscribe to Disney+ is nothing in comparison to the original Hamilton ticket cost. Since you can cancel a Disney+ subscription right after you stream it, the $6.99 price tag is definitely reasonable. And it’s probably worth it to stick around for the other Disney+ offerings in general. After all, a year-long subscription is still less than one ticket to Hamilton.

Can I rent Hamilton on VOD?

No — Hamilton is exclusively available to Disney+ subscribers. But at $6.99, it’s around the same cost as a VOD rental.
