This could be your shot! Lin-Manuel Miranda recently announced that July 9th will be his last performance of Hamilton on Broadway. While ticket prices for this performance will surely be through the roof, Prizeo is hosting a sweepstakes that will give one lucky winner the chance to be hooked up with two of the best seats in the house and be a VIP guest of Lin's at an after party for his LAST SHOW for just a $10 donation to charity.

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, HAMILTON leading man Lin-Manuel Miranda will be exiting the show on July 9 to focus on his upcoming projects, including the starring role in Disney's MARY POPPINS opposite Emily Blunt. In a Heatstreet report last month, it was speculated that he will be replaced by his current alternate, Javier Muñoz, who steps in for Miranda on Sunday matinees. It appears that the rumors are true, because now they've been confirmed by Miranda himself. He told Washington Post reviewer Peter Marks:
