I don't know if I'm just being thick but I can't figure out how to actually comment a new message so I'm just doing it like this ??
Anyway, I'm flying in from the UK at the end of the month for mine and my mums 18th/50th birthday presents, and we were going to queue for cancellation tix, which is essentially why I wanted to come. We're coming on a Sunday afternoon so I thought doing it Monday would work well because we'll have the time difference in our favour, as getting up at 5am or whatever will feel like 10am.
But - is Monday like general understudy day? Or is it only Javier that has Mondays off regularly? Because we're coming so far with mostly the sole purpose of seeing this show I'd ideally see as much of the main cast as poss, but I'll take what I can get! Also that week there are no Sunday shows so would he still take the Monday off?
No, understudies can happen on any day, it is genuinely just down to when the cast get ill/are on vacation. You have as much chance as getting the full cast on Monday as on any other day. It's just that at the moment understudies have been playing Burr/Lafayette/Jefferson whilst they wait for the replacements to come in. It seems Brandon Victor Dixon started tonight for Burr so you should be seeing him. Renee has been on vacation which is why understudies have been on for her as well. She'll be back at the end of the week. As for whether Javier will take that Monday off, I'm unsure, but his alternate has had great reports so far.
Monday is Javier's scheduled day off. If you see the show next Monday, you will see Michael Luwoye as Hamilton. He is new to the role, but response to him has been very positive.
I was wondering does the main cast normally perform on the Saturday matinee? I'm basically trying to figure out information on who goes on for everyone except Hamilton due to Javier's schedule. Thanks for any and all information. I really hope to see BVD this Saturday matinee sense he went on tonight!!

Can someone describe or have a picture of where the cancellation line begins so I know where to stand when I go, if not do I stand by the side closer to stage door or to the left side where the line rules are posted?
Stand to the right of the box office if facing the theatre, not the left where the rules are posted. The line starts where the steps start. Hope that helps!

There were around 30 by 10am and the usher told the last ten to just leave as there was no chance of them getting tickets today. They said today was not a day they anticipated a lot of tickets for the cancellation line. Those of us on the line were slightly nervous!
No tickets were released until about 5:45pm! We got ours first- 4 lottery tickets- all front row center and all together. Amazing.
At about 6:30 the rest of our awesome line group started getting their tickets- we were all really starting to sweat it out. Seems in the end that they gave out about 12 or 13 standard tickets ($199) to the cancellation line, no premiums were offered and there might have been 1 SRO $40 ticket. A long, fantastic day!!!
I've officially been up for 24 hours straight right now, but can't sleep because I'm still soaring from the show!

Thats not a long wait. I can't believe there was no one on line.
An update on today's line, there are about 9 people in line currently. I am currently the eight ticket so I am feeling pretty good about getting into the matinee
Sounds promising! Good luck!! Any idea when the first people arrived? :)

I believe that was the "OMG the original cast is leaving scare of July '16"! Lately it seems people have been getting tickets after lining up as late at 10-11am, depending on the amount of tickets given out of course, but no more full-blown camp-outs, it seems!

Side note: I don't recommend lining up at 10am! Those people have to sweat it out a lot more than the ones who lined up at 6am, I'm just saying it's not unheard of lately for someone who gets in line at that time to get tickets for an evening performance. :)
Hi everyone!! I did the line back in june and only waited 15 hours, on a wednesday for the evening show. I would like to do the line again before school starts. I'm busy on tuesdays and wednesdays now though. What days are the best to go besides those??
I was watching Stubhub for tonight's show, because I am planning to do the line for next Saturday's matinee or get last minute Stubhub seats. Tonight there were 5, row T, center orch tickets that got down to 169!

My understanding has been that Richard Rogers theatre requires printed tickets. If that's the case, how do you print those last minute (sometimes literally last minute, or 5 minutes) Stubhub tickets in time for the start of the show? There are hotel business offices where you can pay to use a computer to print them, but that's not very reliable, given that there are often people waiting in line to use them.
