"Go big or go home! Do the $1495 row D!" LOL! All you have is time to pay it back! Yay for credit!

Hmm I personally thought the energy of bootlegs were fine. Obviously it's better in person but they're no worse than any other bootlegs I've seen. The most widely spread ones are from July 2015 and December so I doubt the cast were 'bored' at that point.

There are so many great moments that are just in the staging (like Hercules Mulligan being the flower girl at the wedding) that the cast seems to have such fun with. Bootlegs can be really weird though, in not capturing the live energy.

The bootleg is from an early show. I'll say that the show is much more polished now, and people like Daveed have much more confidence and swagger. But to suggest the bootleg has no energy and that people look bored is ridiculous. It's people watching a crappy recording from the balcony expecting to have their world moved apparently. The bootleg is great, but it is what it is. The show should not be judged from it

Daveed has put so much more into that role over the months. The difference from August to June was amazing. Refreshing to see an actor constantly improve rather than grow too comfortable with the material.
Be wary of "winning" tonight's lotto if any of you have friends who would sign you up for this...

I wish there were a filter for people who don't want to seen Hamilton threads, just like I wish social media had a filter for political posts.

I guess you can always just stop using the internet.

There sort of is for Hamilton threads- not to click on anything with Hamilton in the title. I can't help you with social media and political posts.
Me thinks LC posts too much----of course that's only a personal opinion.
I'm sure that the screaming from the audience will be louder than all that screaming from the cast--just so glad I didn't have to pay to see it.

I'm really fighting against fate here, but does anyone want to split a pair of stubhub tix for tonight's show? Once again I fear being solo will screw me out of finding a ticket.

Some solo seats on Ticketmaster, but the prices there still seem high to me.
I'm LMAO at someone who has 2 seats, last row in rear mezz at $9900 each when orchestra seats are $2500-$3500 at this point.
I just saw on Facebook that stubhub has seats in the orchestra, row Q on the extreme sides for 50 thousand dollars each.

Yes. Steal of the century. http://i.imgur.com/WQMRHDe.png
Does someone want to go in on those with me?

I suppose I could take out a HELOC but I wouldn't be able to close in time for tonight.
Damn. I guess I'll just have to get them, myself.

Curtain call tonight will be broadcast live on Hamilton's Facebook page per Playbill.
Hopefully Facebook is back up by then!
I was just by the RRT and saw John Kerry, Marla Maples, J Lo, etc. go in. From talking to the cancellation line, people just camped out ONE NIGHT for premium tix to this evening's show. One person in the line told me the box office sold 5 premium tix today and 4 premium tix yesterday. I don't think they released any regular cancellation tix (if they did, it would be unclaimed lottery.)
Pretty cool! And yes... I wish I won the hamilton lottery for this evening but alas I did not.

All those people are the only ones who could afford it! Just for giggles, I went on the website to see how much the tickets were for, $26,000.00!!!! That's more than a Jeep Wrangler! For a show that lasts 3 flippin hours at the most! I mean, come on!

I imagine the people who bought tickets for July 9 before knowing that would be their last day are feeling pretty smug though (if they didn't choose to sell them for an extortionate amount instead).
Carleigh's Snapchat takeover today is fantastic. She recorded both of Lin's entrance applauses today. The evening performance applause was insane.
