Pornhub, the people’s Netflix.
Looks like you neither have to travel nor fork out huge sums of cash to see Hamilton anymore. Well, the first half anyway.
As it happens, the entire first act of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit Broadway musical was posted to pornographic website Pornhub over Christmas.
This follows the discovery by actor Kumail Nanjiani that his own film The Big Sick was also being streamed on the website.
For those of you who wanna watch #TheBigSick with your families & don’t have Amazon Prime or can’t afford to purchase it:
The whole movie is available on pornhub.
Don’t ask me how I know.
It’s under “interracial.”
This is not a joke.

Pornhub quickly responded to Nanjiani stating it was frantically trying to find the bootleg copy in order to remove it post haste.
Meanwhile, internet users got word that the website was streaming some of the year’s biggest hits and began trawling through the site themselves.
I guess I might as well admit this while we're admitting: Someone's also made a full recording of the original Broadway version of Hamilton available on Pornhub. It's listed as something like "hot historical porn" which is…not inaccurate, really.

That’s when someone discovered that a user by the name of “Broadwayfucker” posted roughly an hour and 15 minutes of Hamilton under the title: “REVOLUTIONARY TWINKS HAVE HISTORICAL FUN.”
Somebody posted the entire first act of Hamilton, with original broadway cast, to PornHub

The clip, shot from what looks like an upper balcony, features the entire first act with the original cast, including Miranda, who left the cast back in 2016.
The posts pointing out the fact that the first half of the totally sold-out Broadway (and now West-End) show has gone online have gone viral, boasting thousands of retweets each
And rightly so, as the show’s tickets are now so scarce that people are charging hundreds of dollars per ticket
Perhaps Pornhub’s user generated content section is about to kick off the start of something beautiful for theatrical fans and film buffs alike.
