I still havent seen Hamilton and refused to deal with the insanity initially. Now that all the original leads are gone and its been going for a while has the box office chilled out? Can you just walk up and ask about cancellations or is there still a ridiculous line?

I admit I haven't done it myself, but I keep hearing stories about people just walking up to the box office at random times of day and getting cancellations. And even on a busy day, it is certainly not going to be a 4 day wait like it was at the height of its popularity.
To answer your question - yes, you can. I did it today. Walked into the box office around 11:45 and bought 2 orchestra seats, row L, for tomorrow night at face value of $229 each.
I walk by there a lot and it is nothing like it was in the beginning. I remember seeing people waiting on the steps a month or so ago but most times I pass there is nobody waiting outside. I usually walk past very early to mid morning when i do.
I recently checked out tour stops to view ticket prices. Hamilton is coming to Orlando and if I could get a non subscriber ticket, I wanted to see what the prices in other cities were. I couldn't believe the prices. Some locations the prices were $400-$500, non resell price. A couple of others were a little better with $175 being the nosebleed sections. The remaining sections in the $300 range. Have the ticket prices in NYC dropped any, or are they still sky high also?
I went to the ticket office this Monday (3/5) and asked whether there is any ticket on Wednesday (3/7). He told me that there were orchestra seat avaliable both 2pm and 8 pm. I took the 2pm one cause the seat is better (110 F -> center 6 rows from the stage) than 8 pm (center 12 rows from the stage). The ticket price is still 229 though.

OH! So great to heat that this happened to you! Miss the insanity of the old thread. We were all on it! Hope all has been well!

I remember that thread too. I was a long time lurker on it thinking perhaps one day I would give it a go, but I was eventually able to get a ticket through a conventional release when the first replacements just started. Maybe I can try cancellation now and see it again...
On Wednesday, there were about 30 people in line in the snow for the evening performance. I went to pick-up my tickets and the ticket guy told me that bad weather days make for crazy lines and that there are not that many more cancellations on a regular day.
