I am a big fan of musicals and theater, been to a lot of shows living in NYC. I finally saw Hamilton on Disney+ because I could never get tickets for the show or didn't want to drop hundreds of dollars on it. I was worried before watching it that it was going to be over-hyped and I was going to be underwhelmed. I was wrong. It totally lived up to the hype and now i wish I had seen it live. Post-pandemic I might still go see it.

The show that WAS over-hyped and did NOT live up to it for me was Lion King. I saw it back in 2002-ish and was very disappointed. Sure the costumes were cool but the rest of the production was minimal and boring.

I've seen it in NYC and SF. One thing you won't get from Disney+, and I didn't get it in SF, was "the greatest city in the world" line from "The Schuyler Sisters" felt more magical, but maybe it was just fan service to the audience.
