Hamilton is coming to Disney+ on Friday, but fans of the hit Broadway show are outraged that they can’t watch it with a free trial. According to CNET, Disney+ recently ended their free trial offer, which means that anyone wanting to watch Hamilton when it launches will have to subscribe to the streaming service.
Hamilton director Thomas Kail created the movie by filming multiple live performances of the show โ all featuring the original cast members โ which were then edited to create the full-length film that fans will see. The film was initially scheduled to open in theaters on Oct. 12, 2021, but was moved to being released on July 3 on Disney+ earlier this year. However, fans who can’t watch it by signing up for the previously offered free trial are not thrilled about the situation and are sounding off on Twitter. Scroll down to see what they’re saying.

Theyโve eliminated the free trial right now. I doubt they bring it back for at least a month…Iโm sure #Disney knows everyone wants to see #Hamilton

@disneyplus getting rid of your free trial just as hamilton is abt to go live was a dog move. catch me watching it on a friend’s account and literally never subscribing ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ

Disney plus taking away their free trial option just before they drop Hamilton is genius… Tickets to see the actual show are $300+ so itโs understandable why they want people to pay 6.99 to see it at home when theyโd pay twice that to see it in the cinema anyway

Apparently you cannot get a free trial of Disney+ in order to watch Hamilton this weekend, but $6.99 is still a pretty sweet ticket price. Also David Lynch’s The Straight Story is on there, which we are watching tonight. pic.twitter.com/lkW1zBxZ4s

Nope no free trial but you could just buy for a month and then cancel.

we did (the free trial offer apparently disappeared last week), and there’s enough programming to keep me happy for a month. at the very least, Hamilton itself seems worth $7.
