Premiering on July 3rd, The Undefeated presents Hamilton In-Depth with Kelley Carter, will be a special program that discusses Hamilton with some of its creators and stars, exclusively on Disney+ and TheUndefeated.com.
“The story and subject matter that ‘Hamilton’ covers, and the creative vision of its architects and actors, are more timely than ever,” said Jimmy Pitaro, President of ESPN and Co-Chair, Disney Media Networks. “The Undefeated, and Kelley L. Carter, are uniquely positioned to help connect audiences – whether they have never seen the show, or have seen it 10 times – to the creative process, people and significance of ‘Hamilton’ as it debuts on Disney+.”
The roundtable will consist of the film version’s director Thomas Kail and nine stars of the show and film, including:
- Daveed Diggs (Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson)
- Renée Elise Goldsberry (Angelica Schuyler)
- Christopher Jackson (George Washington)
- Jasmine Cephas Jones(Peggy Schuyler and Maria Reynolds)
- Lin-Manuel Miranda (Composer/Lyricist/Producer/Alexander Hamilton)
- Leslie Odom Jr. (Aaron Burr)
- Okieriete Onaodowan (Hercules Mulligan and James Madison)
- Anthony Ramos (Philip Hamilton)
- Phillipa Soo (Eliza Hamilton)
“The cast of Hamilton didn’t come to play. They are accomplished performers who created genre-shifting art, but they also understand this unprecedented time in history and why their voices matter,” said Carter. “This special isn’t just about one of the most important pieces of work to ever play on Broadway. This is about how art inspires activation. And, well, how activation inspires great art.”
Hamilton In-Depth will be the first collaboration between Disney+ and The Undefeated.
