Hamilton next ticket release on ticket master verified  Aug 21 2017, 01:01:16 PM

openstage2 said: "HELP!!!  I have a code, but every possible date, time and number no tickets come up?  Can someone please advise what might be a less popular date and time to try?  Thanks

Try weekday, esp Wed matinee. I tried weekend shows and no seat comes up. Weekday in June I got lots of selections (but more like mezz area) You can choose seats now rather than waiting for the best available seats.



Golden Gate Theatre  Jun 10 2017, 02:43:09 PM

MarkBearSF said: "I'm hoping that the rumors of  SF sit-down Hamilton production a year or two down the road, following a remodel of the GG Theatre is true. When Carole and the Nederlanders opened it, 25 years or so ago, it was appreciated, but it needs to be brought up to contemporary standards. First and foremost in the bathroom department. And the outer lobby has so much wasted space while the orchestra-level lobby is permanently congested. 
That said, the loge/


Roman Holiday Previews  Jun 8 2017, 11:18:11 AM

In addition to Takarazuka version in Japan, there was another full scale original version as well as three person version (Princess, Joe, and Irving) of Roman Holiday in Japan. I bet this Cole Porter version will do great in Japan as it seems they love Roman Holiday. Here is a link to three persons version. https://www.youtube.com/embed//tWZbapA4p9o

My friends went to see the evening show on June 3rd and Act one and two Hamilton actors were different. I haven't confirmed the name of the actors but I assume it's Michael (Act 1) and the alternate (Act 2). My friend said the Act 2 actor sounded like LLM. I hope Michael is okay!

Evan Hansen, Should we wait until you are in Denver?  May 26 2017, 10:13:03 PM

Hmm are you going to see before Tony Awards? If not, it could be a gamble because I don't want you to spend that much money and not seeing Ben. I don't think he misses a performance much but it's a taxing role and he'll be in the show


Evan Hansen, Should we wait until you are in Denver?  May 26 2017, 10:05:47 PM

I sat at Mezz side and my view was perfect. I got a ticket on Telecharge two days before the show (until then, the show was sold out so I assume it was released by the house), I paid the regular price. 

I liked the show and thought Ben was great but I wasn't impressed as others. I also think the show will be fine even after OBC would be gone. Saying that the show will fall apart after Ben left would be like suggesting actually the show isn't that good, only the pe

Big Apple2, yeah they have a digital daily lottery though. I've never seen SRO for SHN theatres. 



Limited view seats for Come From Away  May 10 2017, 11:24:11 AM

Thank you macnyc! That's an excellent price but would you pay the same seat for $89?? 



Limited view seats for Come From Away  May 10 2017, 11:06:20 AM

Has anyone sat in extreme side seats that are sold as partial/limited view for Come From Away? How partial is it? I have a vague recollection that I saw It's Only A Play from such seat (mezzanine) and it wasn't good. Thank you!

I'm glad you got the ticket Shannoigans! I hope the good karma will come back to me in May when I go to NYC :)

The only issue is that as a tourist in NYC I wouldn't have anywhere to print a super last minute ticket buy... here's hoping I get lucky before I leave on Friday.

You'll be in NYC this Sat? because right now there are two orchestra seats available for this Sat 2p

Okay I looked at the curtain call pic and Emmy indeed changes her hair style a bit but it's unnoticeable from a distance (back orchestra); therefore it still doesn't show that she has aged.

Anyway, I agree with the critic's assessment of Luwoye’s Hamilton. When he meets Burr, he didn't show the arrogance that runs inside of him and comes off weaker than Burr, so you'd wonder why the rest of his squad immediately got drawn to him. I disagree about KGIII th


The HAMILTON Tour Thread  Mar 24 2017, 01:54:05 PM

Daveed was reportedly (via Facebook post) attending the Opening Night in SF. I thought he had a rap gig somewhere yesterday. The bullet is Jennifer Geller (https://twitter.com/_JenniferGeller/status/825519820242313216)

I don't mind about Emmy's hair style, I only was annoyed that her hair style doesn't change to show that she has aged over time. She wore a wig on Broadway when she went on as Angelic


Hamilton in San Francisco  Mar 23 2017, 02:59:11 PM

I saw the preview on 19th. I've seen Ham on Broadway three times (both Lin and Javier as Ham, Jonathan and Andrew as KGIII). I won't go into detail but this is the first time I didn't cry during Philip's death scene and It's Quiet Uptown (and I even cried listening to the CD). I liked Emmy's Angelica but her hairstyle didn't change like Renee, so it doesn't seem she was aging. Was Renee wearing a wig as she gets older in the show or it was all her natural hair?

SOLD OUT  Dec 14 2016, 02:00:14 PM

Despite of still stressful purchasing experience, I think the general public sale went smoothly for SHN. I was surprised that almost all of my friends who wanted to buy Ham tickets got tickets. Even a coworker's wife who never showed any interest in theatre before got Ham tix.

Knowing that the virtual waiting room queue number is randomly assigned and put the e-mail notification to alert you when your time comes up were the key. I don't think the site crushed (it got slow for s


The queue for Hamilton tix in SF is an hour long  Dec 12 2016, 05:00:40 PM

I think BB, CC are AFTER row Z. SHN won't let you select your own "seats" like ticketmaster. Row J is an excellent place. You'll be happy (esp the price you paid!). What was your que number btw?



The queue for Hamilton tix in SF is an hour long  Dec 12 2016, 02:50:57 PM

When I got on around 10:40am, still plenty of tickets regardless of dates were available (yes March-May only show one bar (out of three bars)). Even on the weekend shows, you could get some orchestra row F-L side for party of two. Last week I purchased tickets using Amex preferred seating and they were offering row C center orchestra, there's no more Amex preferred seating though. Good luck!

I was in the virtual queue until it sold out.  I was #4000 when it happened.

I'm not happy that the subscribers could only choose to buy the tickets in the subscription period (until 5/21) during member purchasing period. There are many great seats available for June/July/August during Amex Presale. But what sucks is that

I said the same thing. I used an example of a subscriber having two seats in the subscription. "So if you have two seats in your subscription, you are allowed to buy two extra during member s
