(CNN) -- Broadway fans who couldn't get tickets for "Hamilton" will soon be able to watch one of its many sold-out performances from the comfort of their homes. A filmed version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical, created by Lin-Manuel Miranda, is set to premiere on streaming service Disney+ on July 3. The 60-second trailer, released Sunday, shows a montage of scenes from the critically acclaimed drama, set to a mash-up of the show's opening number, "Alexander Hamilton," and "Satisfied." The "Hamilton" movie was originally scheduled to arrive in cinemas in October 2021, but the studio opted to release the film early on its subscription streaming service amid the coronavirus pandemic. In May, cast member Diggs, who portrays Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson in the production, admitted he was "terrified" about the musical being released on Disney+.

But after a smash run on Broadway -- temporarily halted by theater closures after the coronavirus outbreak -- the bio-musical is now headed to the screen with a new film on Disney+. As previously reported, the film is coming to Disney+ after initially being slated for a theatrical release in October 2021. At the 2020 Oscars in February, Miranda opened up to ET about bringing Hamilton to the big screen. Hamilton is available to stream July, 3 on Disney+.
