My cousin was incensed to learn the original cast from Hamilton wasn't still performing on Broadway, and couldn't understand why tickets were so much if the original people were gone

Listening to the audio from night 1, and you people weren’t lying about the crowd. You can feel the energy just from the audio. They seem to be walking the mine between enthusiasm and annoying though. Screams and cheers over the songs gets old quick

They have time to change things, but do you really see them making wholesale changes to this? Adding or cutting songs?

I know the movie is pretty divisive, but I’ve always adored it. I wasn’t expecting them to have updated the songs, but I suppose it makes sense.
Disappointed to hear some of my favorite moments from the movie have been altered or cut.

I was in NYC over Memorial day and saw 7 (I thnk?) shows and had good audiences throughout, except one incident. Saw the all day AiA on Saturday. I can't even remember what part it was, I think it was Act 2 in Millennium Approaches, I was in the second row of the center Mez. The guy right behind me had a plastic cup with ice in it. The way the seats were laid up, when he had it down between drinks it was right by my head. And he would take a drink, lower it, shake the drink,. lower i

Did you try again? I had no issues about an hour after you posted this, plenty of available seats at that point, at least for the date I was looking at."
Yeah the links they had were going to the wrong thing. I finally f
Theaters Comfortable for Jun 15

Good suggestions throughout, not much to add from me. I’m also not small and really, Broadway is never going to be comfortable. As suggested above, aisle seats are your best bet. Some theaters just run really small though.
A friend of my mother’s went to Hamilton in a Chicago and she literally couldn’t fit in to her seat and had to stand in the back to watch. She was humiliated obviously.

Agree that the Mean Girls number didn’t go well. But I enjoyed it when I saw it. There are a few pretty great songs, and a few pretty weak ones. But it’s fun, and the cast is super talented for the most part

If you’re referring to the song played during the roller skate scene, it’s the same song used in the film
Phantom4ever said: "I can acknowledge that I probably did not give the show enough of a chance when I saw it and these impassioned pro-Bands Visit posts are making me have second thoughts about how harshly I responded to the show. Believe me, as a Phantom Phanatic, I know what it feels like to have a show you love ripped apart with negativity by this board!
I said it before but the element of Bands Visit that stuck with me was that disco song. Can anybody give me a non-sna
Kad said: "Honestly, the people most surprised by TBV's wins seem to be the people who are not familiar with the industry. It was always going to be the bigger winner of the evening, the question was just by how much.
The big shocks last night were Once on This Island and Laurie Metcalf. Everything else was within expectations."
This is true. I’ve been telling everyone since around December to see it and saying it was 100% going to win the Tony a

Some nasty posts in here. Saw TBV twice and adored it both times. The second time from the front row was one of the better theater experiences I’ve had.
The second time I went with my gf, who was seeing it for the first time, and after Answer Me she showed me her arm and she has goosebumps.
I totally get why a lot of people don’t like the show, but I thought it was wonderful and nuanced and beautiful. I can understand not liking it, but I don’t understand people’s need to tear

And, of course, I wonder how many voters saw Kashani instead of Shaloub? I'm sure the production tried to steer them to his May performances.

Myra, he did so much with so little dialogue. So many moments from the show gave me chills, and he was terrific throughout. The moment he talked about his c

I was surprised to see him win, and I think he was on the Today show when he found out he was nominated and said something to the effect of being shocked he could be nominated for a musical.
That being said, I saw him twice and thought he was wonderful both times. A very subtle, but deep performance. I got to see it a few weeks ago from the front row, and his reactions to Katrina were so amazing. I’m glad the Tonys showed some of that tonight
