HAMILTON National Tour — Page 5

Keeping in mind that “Hamilton” is playing at the State Theater and not Connor Palace, make sure you’re looking at the correct floor plan.

Here’s a picture I took from my seat H610 in the front mezzanine, fourth row, center. The Loge occupies Rows A-C, there is no Row D, and Row E is the first row of the Mezzanine. You can see the box seats on the side of the image...

I came up with five scenes where the upper walkway on the extreme stage left was used:

1 - In the title song “Alexander Hamilton” when the three sisters say “We, I loved him”.

2 - Introduction to Lafayette by Aaron Burr in “Guns and Ships”.

3 - When Hamilton asks Washington if he’s to run the Treasury or State in “Non-Stop”.

4 - The beginning of the song when Philip Schuyler loses his senate seat in “Schuyler Defeated”.

5 - The theater box scene with George Eacker in “Blow Us All Away”.

Like you said most ALL all of the action takes place center stage and stage right, with some of it stage left but towards the very front.

When I saw Hamilton again in Chicago, I accidentally bought my ticket initially for a week before I was going to be there. Ticketmaster initially told me that the venue didn’t allow for any exchanges. But I reached out specifically to BroadwayinChicago.com and they were able to make it happen.

I think she would be better off in rear mezzanine if that’s all she can afford to exchange for if she had a better vantage point."

The box seats are labeled partial view when you buy them. So as far as telling her, well, technically she should already know, although I know you mentioned she thought she bought mezz seats.

A weird quirk of the Playhouse website that I did not appreciate at ALL when I first bought tickets, is if you forego using the map and let the venue pick your seat, if there are no seats available in your requested section if automatically puts different seats in your cart. So, for example, I was searching for $165 dress circle seats, and if they weren't available, instead of saying so, it put $400+ seats in my cart. I wonder if a similar thing happened to your friend?

The venue is mostly sold out for the run with the exception of the box seats, some premium seats, and a few "cheaper" $225 seats sprinkled throughout. I personally would rather pay $150, see the actors up close, and see the emotions on their faces during numbers like "It's Quiet Uptown" and "Burn", then pay $225 and sit at the back of the theatre and see tiny ants on a stage. If you go on their website and look at their seat views (go in as if you were buying tix, they offer a LOT of vantage point photos), rear mezz and even rear orchestra are just SO far away. I mean, yeah, you "see" all the action, but you don't really SEE it, you know?

For what it's worth, this person gave the partial view 5 stars (no comment on it, though): https://aviewfrommyseat.com/photo/90052/KeyBank+State+Theatre/section-Level+Box/row-1/seat-1/

Miles2Go2 said: "she was second guessing herself after her Facebook friend was bragging about how easy it is to win lottery tix. I already mentioned the possibility that these might be box seats, but she doesn’t think they are. I think it’s best I zip my lip unless she asks. She’ll just make herself miserable worrying if I say more. The reality is there are perks to box seats: great leg room and she’ll have greater appreciation of the set design (center stage anyway) than her lottery-winning front Orchestra friend perhaps."

My husband and I both entered the lottery EVERY DAY for the entire five months that the Angelica tour was in San Francisco last year and we won exactly zero tickets.We do know other people who ended up winning tickets through the lottery, but it just never happened for us (thankfully we had already bought tickets when they initially went on sale, but still). Some of the lottery seats that people won in SF were obstructed view or not great seats (and if you entered the lottery for two tickets, the official rules warned that your two tickets might not be next to each other), so I was kind of laughing that your friend thinks it's so easy to win lottery tickets in the front of the orchestra!

"Is that going to be it’s own production or just a stop on a tour? The initial press release I read it as the latter"

"The Peggy company will continue in North America after its run in Puerto Rico. As of last month, itinerary was still to be determined."

"It's quite possible that it won't be a tour."



In this interview with Savannah Guthrie, Lin confirmed that after the initial three week run in Puerto Rico, the Peggy company will come to the United States. Based on the tour dates/locations already scheduled for the Angelica and Philip tours, it looks pretty certain that the Peggy tour will be the SF cast (the show opens there in late February). He starts discussing the casting around the 9:00 minute mark and he mentions that it will be another tour cast around the 9:30 mark.
