This is certainly old news. For years, it has been discussed on this board that Hamilton was filmed with the OBC. It has never been a question as to if a filmed version of the musical on stage would be released, it has only been a question as to how and when.
Personally, I don't see a movie version of the show doing well, unless you went with traditional acting and etc. Of course, I was also wrong about the potential success of the stage version.
Ben first performance was 4/16/2018. Typically, it is yearly contracts. Theoretically, his first contract is over and he renewed for at least another year, which his contract would end around 4/16/2020. However, I am sure if something bigger and better came along, he could bolt at anytime.
Also, actors that have played Phantom in the past usually stay for a while. My guess is you are safe that he will be there in March, but nothing is guaranteed.

For me it’s different. On Broadway I can only watch a show ma few times because there is something always new that I rather see. On tour, I can watch a show countless times as there is nothing else to watch.
Shows that I have seen countless times and will contribute: Wicked, Les Mis, Newsies, Hamilton, Book of Mormon and Phantom.
Looks like she is joining the case of The Underground Railroad. The article does not mention her departing the show. I have tix in December. So I hope to see her.

Not sure why some of you are dismissing the possibility. This Instagram post could be a joke, but it also looks serious. As someone else mentioned, why not a limited run? If each has an open window in their schedule, why not? Even if it’s not for the money, I am sure it will be fun.

Makes no sense to close before the Holidays, which tends to be the most lucrative time of the year.
Do you think there are certain times that would be more appealing to tourists? I think part of the fun of the current times is the planning you can do- you can have an early dinner and then see a show, make an event out of it. But I'm curious about what you think would be more appealing..."
I think Thursday and Friday matinees should be offered more. Too many people come into town like me to see a marathon of shows. I come in
I will never understand why more shows don’t offer matinees different from the rest. Phantom sells out their Thursday matinee almost all the time.
Whenever I am in town, I am always looking to see if I can find a matinee on Thursday or Friday. Whenever I find the rare show time that no one else is offering, it always seems to be sold out. Another example was July 4th. Only two shows were offering a July 4th show. I saw Beetlejuice and it was sold out. Too many tourists in tow
Wick3 said: "I'd go to the box office the day before the matinee and see if they have any non-premium tickets available.
As for the time the box office opens, I believe it opens at 10am everyday except Sundays (they open at 12pm)."
Will do! Thanks.
Is Hamilton cancellation line still insane? Sep 22

Thinking of trying this over the Holidays. Can you get tickets early? What time does box office open on a day with matinee?
Dkinny23 said: "Agreed with the above poster. What shows are you specifically trying to see?
From my experience, I can tell you I have essentially never bought a ticket in advance and always do rush/lottery/standing room. The only thing is that they typically aren’t great seats - often times partial view or if not than extreme sides which may as well be partial view. Every now and then stub hub has some good prices too, especially close to show time. TKTS sounds like
I am getting sick of the outrageous prices of Broadway tickets lately. Its getting to the point, where you have to spend $200 or more just for a good seat. Even Hadestown is about $400 for a good seat.
For years, I have been coming to New York to see a marathon of Broadway shows. I typically come in the summer and winter. I usually buy my tickets in advance through the show's website. I know I am paying top dollar. At least I have the comfort of knowing that I have&

I sat in 201. Loved every minute of it. I really don’t think you could go wrong with any floor seat. The cast moves around enough that you see just about everything. With the floor seats, there will be times they are on your table and may even be sitting right on the table in front of you.
JBroadway said: "Anyone else find the applause in the opening number extremely silly? Not only does it strike me as a little odd that they would include applause on a studio album, but it’s also such a mild smattering. Sounds so unenthusiastic! It made me laugh in a way that they didn’t intend. "
No. The applause you hear is the actors on stage. During the opening scene, the entire cast is on stage as he introduces them and the cast is applaudin
I am trying to figure out how long this will run. I am finding this show grows more and more on you as time goes by. Personally I don’t see this going beyond 5 years but I would love to see it. My gut tells me 2-3 years though. Thoughts.
