Hamilton Previews — Page 9

"I just talked about an observation I had. There is a common theme between the shows that have won best musical for the last 4 years. You are haters"

You're right, there is a common theme. But also, not a single show opened in the last 4 years with a pre-opening advance of $27million+ and the sort of buzz that this show has, so that makes your theory for this season invalid.

For someone who has gone through this countless times, you really ought to know why people take issue with how you say things. Because you've been told in no uncertain terms why.

"You guys will bash shows all the time and its completely okay. I didn't even bash Hammyton, but because I am in favor of other shows, you come at me !"

I think if you had simply said "I'm more excited about School of Rock and American Psycho", no one would have had a problem. It's the way you act like you know exactly which show is better, and how your opinion is clearly the right one.

I think we're all just holding out hope that one day he will realize how stupid he acts and finally decide to do something about it. Haha

In an attempt to get this thread back on topic: It seemed that there was a cancellation line in the lobby last night. Does anyone know whether or not anyone got in that way? If so, were they charged regular price (which I guess would be $167)?

"We need to start a new thread for Hamilton Previews. This one has gone off the rails. Maybe name it Hamilton Broadway Previews."

There was another one posted the other day (shortly after this one had dropped down to page 2), Hamilton Preview Review Thread

Yet another thread ruined by Philly Pinto!

Pinto, you are having a bad day. Let me tell you why.

Today you are giving opinions about things that you have no rational basis for forming an opinion. You can give us your opinion on the logos of the shows; on individual songs you have heard fro a show; on the track record of the creative team, cast, producers; on the show's finances; etc. But you cannot have a rational opinion about something you have not seen.

Now why is that so bad? It is disrespectful, not of anyone here, but of the performers and artisans who are committing the act of theatre. You are judging their work without seeing it. As someone who purports to want a career in the theatre, that is tantamount to disrespecting yourself. I expected more of you, and I am ashamed for you.

Now let me suggest that, just for a minute, you stop and think about the implications of what you are doing.

9 pages of comments after only one performance of Hamilton and half of the pages are crap because of this kid. If I had known about his behavior, I never would have engaged in conversation with him on the School of Rock thread. I thought I was talking to a normal person interested in conversation. Turns out I was talking to a Ninny.

Can the moderators not do anything about this? The thread cannot continue in this way.

Does anyone have any info about getting tickets from the cancellation line? Specifically in the 59 dollar range

"Does anyone have any info about getting tickets from the cancellation line? Specifically in the 59 dollar range"

They're full price and you get what (if anything) is available. Every time I've done this for other shows (and Hamilton at the public) I've gotten very good (not cheap) seats. But there's no way to predict what will be available on any given day--when we went to the Public I don't think they sold any the day before we went and they probably sold 20 when we went. I don't think any tickets for this show would be $59 but I haven't looked specifically at ticket prices of, for example, the restricted view seats.

Any merchandise?
