Congrats!! That would be my theatre lottery dream come true, if I ever win  Hamilton. How long have you been trying  before you got the winning email? I am trying for six months now.

But I  won Lion King two days in the row,  June 20th (was too late to claim), entered it again, and won the next day also, so I saw 2 pm show, Lion King,  yesterday. Loved it very much, great  orchestra seat too.

But I am dreaming about "You Won" for Hamilton show, not yet. Hope some day!! Can not afford $800 ticket price

Is is 100%  plagiarism from  Madame Butterfly  , but from  1904 to 1975!

Even the final that Kim steps behind a curtain and shoots herself, no reason to do that for 1975-1978 time frame.

It is too much mix for a good taste comparing to the opera: war tragedy,   dictator power, bar whore houses, Hollywood glamour ("The American Dream" ) and “pure”  love. Just trying to be all things for all people.

I won " Lion King" today, but checked in too late, you have to claim by 10 am, I thought that the lottery closes at 10 am. , but it is 9 a.m. for King

Bummer! I did see it many years ago, but  would love to see it again for $30 if I ever win again.

Playing Hamilton every day-no luck for this one!!

 

Won digital lottery 4 times:

War Paint (  June 16, past Friday, 2nd try)  :  great seats in central mez row C ($ 40)

Previously won : Kinky Boots , On Your Feet! , Cirque du Soleil PARAMOUR 

I find this subject very helpful.   I like it that other “real” people give their opinion and I can compare my ratings to the rest of the forum.

I   thought that "Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812" was the worst show ever, the most vulgar  interpretation , grotesque of the  timeless classic, and I  am  happy to see that  many   people  who saw that show  agree with me.

I am much older than your little sister, but our tastes are very similar. I did not care for Wicked, and loved Something Rotten. 

I just saw Bandstand, it is absolutely appropriate for 12 years old; there is a lot of dancing and music. I found this show an average (I would grade it B), some parts are  entertaining, some spots boring, but absolutely appropriate. Reminds movies right after war time of mid 1940’s and early 50’s.
 

I saw it through TDF last week, Wend matinee, orchestra seats, left, close to center. Excellent view $51. Loved it, great experience.

BANDSTAND..100%!!!

I did not like Miss Saigon . Classic opera  of  Giacomo Puccini transfered to 1975-1978.   I do not like changed classic to modern times. It never works.

I  won 4  times:

Cirque du Soleil Paramour  - mez, but 2nd row ( $35, good view), first try

On your feet -  Orchesta, right, 5th row, good view ( about five (5) tries, I think $40)

Kinky Boots   - balcony, matenee, but good view ( about one week of trying, about $40)

War Paint ( won  June 16, past Friday)  :  great seats in central mez row C ($ 40)



I am  entering every day for Hamilton and  Book of Mormon for three months - No Luck  so far!!!

Yes, I saw that, but this information is very old.  Some of those messages go back to 2003.

I am interested in the most recent experience, in the year 2016 up to now. It seems that offerings and structure was different in 2003 vs.  2017 , 2016.

Uncageg, Did you like it?  Was it something out of the ordinary, not comparable to anything you saw or is it overrated?
