Is there a Hamilton souvenir program at the concession stand at The Richard Rodgers Theatre?
If so, has anyone seen it and how much does it cost?

I think that the Souvenir Program will be the book.

They just started selling a program. I know Lin tweeted or retweeted something, but I can't find it.
There is Twitter evidence, though: https://twitter.com/crissgroff/status/671681383279013888

Thank you, haterobics, for those of us who lack Twitter.

Oooh....all kinds of paper and stuff. Lol.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Actually, it is one of the most beautiful souvenir programs I've seen. It seems like it's a thicker paper material with some translucent paper. Plus the shadow photography is truly stunning.

Ugh they didn't have them when I went in August. It looks great! I wonder if they are available online too.

They sure are! Here's the link to purchase it from the official HAMILTON website. It's $20.00

I've always wondered what the point of these were when you have playbills and windowcards...... playbill is sort of a similar thing, except it's free.

They're really not the same thing. PLAYBILL is a magazine and aside from the information about the particular show you are seeing the other content is pretty much uniform (ads, articles, etc.)
A souvenir program is larger, almost always in full color featuring production photos from the show and sometimes more detailed information about the show, the cast and creatives. A program does not have advertisements or articles that have absolutely nothing to do with the show.

How much does this program cost at the show? On the website the shipping is $13 and I feel like that's way too much for a souvenir program (plus it's not even fast shipping, it says please allow 2-4 weeks). I wish this was available on amazon.
On a happier note, the book about the making of Hamilton is available for preorder here.

And doesn't have color photographs, and often doesn't have production photos, and has way less liner-notes-type copy.

I bought one at the show for $20. It is a beautiful souvenir program and a must for any fan of the show.

Thanks for letting me know. $33 for the program with shipping is kind of ridiculous. I could buy a mug too I guess (to justify the shipping).
An audio-book of the making of a musical is so meta. Just Lin-Manuel Miranda (and others??) talking about the making of Hamilton. I'm looking forward to the book so much.
