If you were one of the millions of people who couldn't score tickets to the smash hit musical "Hamilton" during its Tony-winning original Broadway run, you're in luck.

The Walt Disney Company and creator Lin-Manuel Miranda have announced that a live-action version of the play, featuring its original cast, is headed to theaters on Oct. 15.

"Combining the best elements of live theater and film, the result is a cinematic stage performance that is a wholly new way to experience 'Hamilton,'" teases the announcement of the big-screen bow of the Tony, Grammy and Pulitzer Prize-winning stage musical.

"I fell in love with musical storytelling growing up with...[Disney's] 'The Little Mermaid,' 'Beauty and the Beast,' 'Aladdin,'" Miranda declares in a statement. "I'm so proud of...this...live theatrical experience that feels just as immediate in your local movie theater. We’re excited to partner with Disney to bring the original Broadway company of 'Hamilton' to the largest audience possible."

"Hamilton" received a record 16 nominations at the 2016 Tony awards and won 11, including best musical.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News.
