Still falls under being "PG", although it is a rather silly and arbitrary rule on how they assess that.
‘Hamilton’ removes two F-bombs from musical to attain PG-13 rating
Lin-Manuel Miranda agreed to censorship “so the kids could see it.”

One uncensored one. The ratings board is very strict with that.
Two others were drowned out by other noises (or weren't completed).

Yep, the MPAA (or MPA, whatever they're called now), allows for one F-bomb in a non-sexual manner to maintain a PG-13. I knew 2 would be met with some sort of censor.
Still, Disney+ has an F-bomb. That's a really new development for the Mouse House.

Yeah, it's a dumb rule. The South Park movie was right on the money.Still falls under being "PG", although it is a rather silly and arbitrary rule on how they assess that.

Anyone else feel like they did this so they can keep the 4k version exclusive to Disney+?

First time watching Hamilton. No idea what was it about beforehand. I'm very impressed. I didn't cry cause I'm heartless but the music was great and the performance was top notch.

Why? The article tells a very different story.
Hamilton viewing tip:
If understanding the lyrics is difficult for one, then one only needs to turn on closed captioning.
Closed captioning is also great for sing-alongs for those who don't have the lyrics memorized... yet.

I was lucky enough to see a touring stage performance of Hamilton in my area, but not the original Broadway cast like the one on Disney+ that I was able to enjoy yesterday. I have to say each of the performers were outstanding and I will be enjoying this show many times.
Apparently Disney paid $75M to stream Hamilton on Disney+

The film, a live capture of the hit Broadway show, will stream on Disney Plus beginning July 3. That wasn’t always the plan.

Kind of!
But not nearly enough for Disney's comfort.
That said, surely they have filmed versions of their own stage musicals sitting in the vault somewhere? Especially if the show's closed already, why not release those, even if not all of them are exactly high watermarks?

I think there’s a large market for pre-recorded performances of shows. I would argue that they doubly serve as advertising for the live stage shows. I really, really want to see a live production of Reefer Madness.
HBO Max and Netflix should be actively pursuing The Book of Mormon. According to Josh Gad, an original cast recording exists.

Jokes aside, this is the exact scenario for which Hulu exists in the Disney catalog.
