I’m obsessed. I love it. I tried getting tickets, too- found flights and hotel in NYC that I could swing with some planning and then went to see how much tickets to the show were…
aaaand that plan went down the drains. Oh well. I can wait. In the meantime, there’s always Ham4Ham.
That’s why I’m not going until July - that was the earliest time I could get tickets directly from the theatre rather than resale. If you’re going solo, you might be able to get a ticket a bit earlier even. I think that if you buy from the theatre they start at about 145? (Personally I got the more expensive tickets, 12th row center - figured since I was already blowing major on the trip, it was a better return on investment to get good seats and have 'em right up in my face than to have to use opera glasses - but YMMV.)
The point is, you can get good seats (fairly) cheaply - you’ll just have to wait for it (wait for it wait for it…)
I was just wondering… has anyone seen any reactions to Hamilton from Bill O’Reilly or his ilk? On the one hand, it’s a celebration of the founding fathers. On the other hand, he wouldn’t stereotypically find the color-blind casting and general hip-hop-ness appealing.
Glad you were able to score some tickets! Miranda may be gone by then but I’m sure whoever follows him will be just as great. Or maybe he’ll still be around, who knows? You’ll be in a patriotic state of mind right after the 4th of July, too!
I see I was first to respond to this thread, and in a negative way. But the other night I saw that part of the Grammys, and I must say, it was quite good. I could enjoy this show, and will try to get tickets.
Yes. Just announced by Playhouse Square in Cleveland:
*Lin-Manuel MIranda’s gargantuan Broadway hit “Hamilton” launches its national tour in March 2017 at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco, before playing a Los Angeles engagement at the Hollywood Pantages August 11 through December 30, 2017.

No word yet on other cities.
