An exclusive look at the upcoming Hamilton book.  It says here.

All the Ham4Hams in one place:

Gosh I'm so weirdly glad that ham4ham is gonna be online now. The times I went it was so crowded that I couldn't even enjoy it until I watched it on YouTube the next day. 

[Sam2]

I have to admit that I'm glad with these online Ham4Hams as well. Finally some Hams without people screaming through the sound of the horrible audio system, they're really enjoyable now. (But I'd rather keep the in-person lottery. Chances of winning are already slim enough without the 'Once I win I'll jump on a plane'-entrants.

[Sam2]

Does anyone know whether the #YayHamlet shirts are always available at the theatre? I'm seeing Hamilton in a few weeks and wanted to buy one, but since I'm leaving the US for a while shortly after that, I might not be able to order one online after the show date. So it's now or at the show itself. 

[slumdogdelaware]

I don't have a definitive answer, but I'm seeing it on Wednesday and will ask for you!

[Sam2]

Thank you! And enjoy the show, it will be amazing without a doubt!

[dramamama611]

It's standard...but of course, they can run out of stock.

[n2nbaby]

NEXT WEDNESDAY!! FINALLY!!

 

Woooooooo!!

Interesting/crazy article about counterfeit tickets appearing at the show in the Times yesterday (apologies if I didn't catch somebody else posting this already!): http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/18/nyregion/theatergoers-desperate-to-see-hamilton-fall-prey-to-ticket-forgers.html?ref=theater&smid=tw-nyttheater&smtyp=cur&_r=0 

[slumdogdelaware]

Oh geez, how could you look at the date on the ticket and see that it was from a year ago and hope it was a misprint. Dear gods, if you're willing to fork over $600 on a sidewalk, then take a moment to examine the tickets before you hand over the cash.

Is Daniel Watts still in the cast? I know he was brought in as a sub for Thayne, who I believe is now back, what Watts is still listed as part of the cast. Did they add an ensemble track? How does that work? 

[ChiTheaterFan]

Andrew Chappelle is in for Daveed Diggs tonight for the first time. (He tweeted and LMM retweeted.)

[mariel9]

A friend is seeing it for the first time tonight. I love Andrew and try to be a good sport about understudies, but I am a tad disappointed for her.

[BroadwayConcierge]

AHHHH!!! Don't get me wrong—I absolutely adore Daveed, but I'm so excited for Andrew!!!

 

(Also: is this the first time ever that a performance of Hamilton will be happening without Daveed Diggs in it?)

[ChiTheaterFan]

That man must have an immune system of steel with all the stuff that's been going around the cast. Even LOJ has been out sick and he reportedly never takes sick days. 

 

I wonder if if he's sick or it's a scheduled absence. I wouldn't think it's scheduled with the announcement coming so late. 

[ChiTheaterFan]

Also I just looked at Chappelle's Twitter. Evidently he was Madison/Mulligan last night, Reynolds at the matinee, and now Lafeyette/Jefferson. Quite the 24 hours. 

 

Oh and he got a new puppy. Sadly there are no photos of said puppy. 

 

The man is non-stop!

[BroadwayConcierge]

^ My God.

 

Seriously, though, that dude slays the game. Understudy extraordinaire.

[mariel9]

There are definitely pictures of Patti LuBone if you go back a couple of days on his twitter. She's adorable.

[oncemorewithfeeling2]

Chappelle is a rock star. His flexibility, range, and talent are big...he's a great example of the type of swing shows die for.

[ChiTheaterFan]

Looks like Lin-Manuel Miranda is planning to go to London at some point for the West End show.

[dramamama611]

I'm not sure that means HIM, but the show itself. That being said, I  can't imagine he wouldn't be a part of getting it going in the UK.

[HogansHero]

Quite a while back he said he wanted to do London. 

[ChiTheaterFan]

The reason I thought it was him was he responding to a tweet asking if he would be playing Hamilton anywhere else.
