Does anyone have any thoughts about stage-dooring at Hamilton Chicago?  How long of a wait it's likely to be, how many people are likely to come out?

My daughter & her friend are at the show RIGHT NOW (her review to follow!) and would like to stage door but we have limited time in Chicago and may want to use it for other stuff if it's a long wait/ not likely to be worth it.

I entered the lottery twice (for the matinee and the evening show) and came up short

I've been in touch with the theater about the cancellation line, and this is what they said:

"You can go to the Box Office and wait in the outer lobby, that is the 'cancellation line.' If it starts to looks like there are a lot of people in the lobby the Box Office attendants will directly you were to go, or where for form an actual line."

She didn't say anything about how many people I can expect/ when to arrive (I asked) but I find the "IF i

Oh wow!  I know that's nothing to plan on but it's certainly encouraging!!

Thank you

So does anyone have a sense of how the cancellation line works in Chicago?

When I was trying to get to NYC I had a really good sense of about what time of day I'd have to arrive in line to actually get tickets, but I don't yet for Chicago.

I have two tickets -- good seats -- for November.  They're a surprise birthday present for my Hamilton-obsessed daughter, whose birthday is a few days before the show.  I planned to be her +1, but her best fr

Thanks, that's encouraging!  We'll be in right orchestra, row H, and nothing about limited view.  So if your seats were pretty good then ours should be just fine?  (We haven't seen it yet at all and definitely want to see everything we possibly can!!)

Airconway, yep, this is why I asked my question in fact -- trying to figure out if there is any reason to switch dates.  (Good luck!)

Thanks for feedback re: alternates.  I really thought that others were regularly off too, but that may have been towards the end of their run.

Still would love to catch Miguel.  For most of the Broadway run Javier Munoz stepped in for the Saturday matinee specifically, so that's my worry.  (The show I have tickets f

Thanks for the hotel recommendations!

Question:  Does anyone know what the schedules are for Hamilton Chicago performers?

I've searched Google and these boards and haven't been able to come up with this info, but apologies if I've overlooked something.

My daughter is an enormous (HUGE) Hamilton fan, and I've gotten her tickets to the November 26th matinee in Chicago.  Managed to get them via Ticketmaster when they became available (no

The original Broadway cast is always the best.  Out of all the people who auditioned in the world, those people were determined the best of the best.  I have no doubt Hamilton in Chicago will be great, but the best cast is always the Broadway one.  Touring casts never comp

72 hours?  96 hours?  120 hours? I guess we'll find out at some point..."

Ha!  I was wondering the same thing.

I've also been wondering if at some poin

I'm planning on camping out with three friends (yes, I know the odds aren't in our favor :,() and was wondering if we'd face problems if we waited on line in shifts. Like if we were to take turns in pairs sleeping and waiting on line, even just during the overnight and waited together the rest of the time once it was morning, would we be risking getting kicked off for any reason"


It might be safer
