Based on the uptick with Odom Jr., I wonder if they will try to cast other originals after he leaves, as part of an ‘all-year long’ celebration. Odom Jr. had the more appreciated role (not by me — everyone I have seen in the role subsequent to him was just as good, if not better), but I would imagine getting two of the others, for instance Diggs and Goldsbe

Kad said: "I think the prices for Odom's return are exorbitant, to be sure, but it's effectively an event engagement. He's in it for two months and prices will revert once he's done. And Hamilton is a decade-old production that tours extensively and has even been made available for years now with a high-quality video recording that anybody can stream- with Odom and the entire OBC in it. It's basically as accessible as a modern production can possibly get.&quo

Sutton Ross said: "YES! Like the dumb children at Heathers who, when asked politely to stop recording the show, all screeched"YOU AREGATEKEEPING THEATER!" "ALL THEATER SHOULD BE FREE!""WE DEMAND A PRO SHOT! WHAAAAA!"

Yeah no.Grow up, work hard, and enjoy what you can afford in the entertainment business."

"But I want it noooooooooooooooow!! You hate poor people!! I must see LOJ now!!! I must

Sutton Ross said: "Theater is very affordable. Community centers, regional theaters, high school/college productions. Volunteer ushering is fantastic and happens all over the place. Broadway is the best of the best of the best. A true luxury. People will spend what they can afford, and if it's out of your price range? You can't see it. Same with vacations, travel, the list goes on. The entitlement of some people on this board (I deserve to see Othello with the bigges

We could complain about tickets for one specific show with one specific star or we could celebrate all of the affordable options."

I don't get it either. People act like the world is ending if you don't post bootlegs of shows, and you "hate poor people" if you do

SteveSanders said: "Yes, some people would need to save up for Hamilton tickets regardless of pricing much as people do for trips to Disney, a concert, et al.

My point is saying it has been around for 10 years was that people have had ample time to do such saving if they want to see the show live, either on Broadway or a touring cast. It's not as if they have faced the current more prohibitive pricing for Odom's return for the past decade.

And if that sa

I would like to agree with the point that theater is a luxury item, something you save for, and you might not be able to see a very popular show for many years. Even if it has been around for 10+ years, like Wicked or Hamilton, people just have other priorities to focus on. Saying "it's been around for years" is not a valid argument here. You never know someones financial status, or what they have to cut out due to their budget. Again, can someone please tell me what you expecte

Something I hope other people realize is that people can say no to a role. So you can think they are perfect, and will be perfect, but it ultimately comes down to so many factors that we aren't privy to. It may be sc

I believe they also recently added a few tables from the initial list.

I’m sure the Outsiders table will be insane this year, especially since it is Brody‘s last show that same day. Wondering if they will still have OBC signed items as I believe the cast has changed over the past year.
