Is anyone going to Hamilton on the 9th? — Page 6

(Yes, yes, for some of you: OMG, how dare they play a few notes that are different from the usual curtain call music that happens ever other show, how inappropriate to ruin it for everyone who just so happens to be seeing Hamilton for the first time tonight.)

for the record, I've always found the da - da - da part to be weirdly directed. I remember the first time I saw Hamilton at The Public wondering if that "everybody" meant we the audience are or are not supposed to do the da - da - das with the King.

I'm not sure if the audience singing along with the da-da-das is unique to this performance because when I saw it in May many around me sang along when he said "everybody." I agree it's kind of confusing in the moment because you're not really sure if you're supposed to or not, but I'll admit it was fun to join in.

i was kind of surprised there was no whoop. not a single speech from any of the three leads who are leaving. strange.

as for singing along to the da's...when I saw it I didn't feel it would be appropriate to sing along but I think I hummed along. my boyfriend and my best friend were on either side of me so I'm sure they didn't mind some light humming.

Except NO ONE made any negative remarks about the music being played at cc.....Jordan even said it was a nice touch.

You do realize that iPhone now holds a minority of the smartphone market share, right?? So the fact that the person on the other end doesn't have iMessage means absolutely nothing? If you text me, it won't turn blue either, cause I have a Samsung, as do most people that I know...and I've never owned a burner phone in my life, nor do I know anybody who has. You were absolutely right for being skeptical of a Craigslist purchase and I think it was a great idea that you didn't pay for the ticket until after it successfully scanned. And I'm glad you had such an amazing time. But the fact that the reseller didn't have iMessage is completely irrelevant and of all things that should have worried you about using Craiglist, that should not have even been a consideration... Just a random non-Hamilton related thought.

That's super awesome!!!! :) I was at peace with not getting into the last show so am ok with it. I'm actually surprised that the box office sold cancellation tix to that evening's show given all their leading actors/actress are leaving that day. I'd presume they'd sell or give all those tickets to their friends and family first before the cancellation line. Given those folks got there at 11pm, that's a short wait compared to those who waited over 100 hours!

Cercle, your candor is much appreciated, and I loved hearing your experience and review (and I'm so glad you had a life experience!). Thank you so much for sharing!

The Playbill write-up makes it sound like the second coming, complete with the requisite misspelling of Rodgers and cheesy "Room Where It Happens" pun.

Good grief. I thought Playbill was one of the last bastions of legitimate theatre journalism we had.

In what way was that true? There was easily something you could have done to avoid it: show up at work and do your job. Or failing that, owning up to the real reason you were not showing up at work. I guess satisfying your own wants was of greater importance to you than not causing needless inconvenience to others.

the emoji is there to indicate this statement is tounge-in-cheek.


"I was already feeling extra irresponsible for switching up my work shift just for the possibility of getting a ticket to the show,"



You should have felt that way, and you should still feel that way.
Well, although I usually DO let people from the internet dictate my feelings, today I actually still feel like I'm walking on air!


Now are you going to tell your co-workers where you actually were last evening?"

lol, they definitely know what I was doing because of my instagram and snapchat, and they were very excited for me. I work with adult humans in a creative field, not petty teenage trolls.

Hehehe

There is nothing wrong with helping to stem the inundation of repetitive threads. It ultimately allows for a more effective and organized discussion. Get over it.

BWW does the same thing with most of their "articles" which is truly obnoxious.

Cercle I was just wondering if the person you got the ticket from was cool or bitter towards you about selling it relatively cheap? I'm so happy for you but I wonder why they didn't list on SH cuz it would have sold for $1500 easy. The only thing left at 7:59 were a few pick up tickets and I think if the sellers dropped the price 15 minutes earlier they would have sold.

He says "everybody" to the side and then all the soldiers come out. I never took it as an invitation to sing.

Not true, I watched until showtime and the only ones that were left were 4 in row J that dropped to $1795 iirc and a single one in row L, but they were both pickups. The rear mezz dropped to $675 and disappeared, the single row T and the pair of row U went, too. I saw others gone as well. I'm not sure if they were sold or deleted but at 7:59 only 2 options were showing up for sale on my app.
