Javier Munoz Will Be Alternate in HAMILTON on Broadway — Page 4

I'm actually pretty upset about this. I bought tickets for a Sunday matinee in March 2016. Obviously I knew vacations and sickness were possible, but to read that Javier will be on the date I'm supposed to go made my stomach drop. I saw In the Heights and Lin was out the day I went. I loved his understudy, but, it was really sad to see the show without the Tony Winning writer. Now to see this new show, without him? Ugh. I will be one of the people trying to exchange my tickets...

good luck

Kimbo, producers DON'T have a moral obligation to offer refunds. You keep talking about producers "doing the right thing". The right thing doesn't mean giving into every entitled brat like you who believes everyone deserves a Lin-Manuel Miranda Hamilton performance. The right thing is you being a grown up, putting on your big boy pants and moving past the disappointment to either see the show with Javier Muñoz, or selling your tickets to buy new ones to a performance where Lin is scheduled.

Nowhere anywhere on your ticket does it say you bought tickets to see Lin-Manuel Miranda personally. If you can't get over that, I pity the poor Ticketmaster employee who has to put up with your delusions long enough to say "No".

Rest assured that your threats to commit fraud have been forwarded to the production.

Orange, can you explain what the fraud he alluded to is? I thought I knew everything ( and also j/k) and I am not getting the scam.

Some people really need to eat a Snickers. Like damn.

If you look at Hogan Hero's past comments on Hamilton threads, you will find that he is always enabling the show. It's never the show's fault, it's always everyone else's fault, according to him. I wouldn't be surprised if he is some type of shill.

It's not difficult to type Hamilton into the search function, dear. We get information that way, if you were not aware.

I don't see any anger about how one chooses to spend money. But i do see 3 suggestions of low-key ways to achieve what you say you want (e.g. to return a ticket already purchased for a full reimbursement or exchange) by either (1) selling to willing buyers on this thread, (2) selling to willing buyers on stubhub or (3) by asking ticketmaster nicely to assist in getting an exchange for you by contacting the producers on your behalf to make the request.

Given that three options have been presented already that are all non-confrontational, there doesn't seem to be any benefit of getting angry about a problem that can readily be solved for you. Others are making the point that not everyone necessarily minds the substitution, or maybe isn't happy about it but would still rather see the show with Javier than get their money back. For those having a different preference, 3 solutions have been suggested here - why not try one of them in order to get what you want?

Kimbo, to be clear, I did not accuse you of fraud, and I did not suggest I was going to report anything to anyone. I asked (and you never responded) what you meant by "a way for resourceful people to get that refund AND stick it to the producers at the same time by making sure the seats aren't paid for and can't be resold." I then asked the same question of the person who described it as a "fraud." I'd still like to know because, based on my 20+ years of experience, I have no idea what you are talking about. If you get a refund, why can't the seats be resold? That's all I want to know.

Bonnie, yes I have been vocal in saying that the show is the best in most of our adult lifetimes. But I am not "enabling" anything: the show speaks for itself. And I think my track record of calling things as I see them on here is beyond dispute and that suggesting I am a shill is pretty lame. I would have (and have) said the same thing about people in relation to other shows when I think (or know) they are either wrong or engaged in some self-entitlement fandango. And if you paid attention, you'd know I am no less inclined to blame a producer when they are at fault.

come on people, seriously, its a just under 3 hour (at least it was when I saw it) history lesson that is rapped to you. There is some great stuff in it, but I much preferred ITH. I was a little bored after the novelty of the show wore off. But I also don't get the hype behind Fun Home either. It's good but not great and also would much rather see Javier than LMM any day. LMM was struggling a little vocally the night I saw it (again it was winter and he might have had a cold). But I saw LMM in tick, tick BOOM and same thing, he was struggling vocally. Suck it up...either sell your tickets on Stub Hub or go see the show with IMHO the better actor/singer.

I am glad they posted the schedule. Now I know what days to go for the lottery, because LMM won't be in.

Be disappointed, I am not saying they should not be. But, some have said they are willing to lie and screw over the producers by exchanging tickets and then no one can use them. Come on.

Simple fact of the matter is NO ONE'S name is over the title. The Theater, Box Office, The Producers, Ticket Master do not owe you anything. You took your chances when you bought your tickets. Suck it up. If you are not happy, Sell them on Stub Hub and make a nice profit, and buy tickets for another night.

I was at HOT SHOW X a few years ago for probably my 5th or 6th time and there was an understudy because the lead got sick during the cast recording. I was disappointed at first, then I realized that the understudy had never had a complete run through of the show. It was fun to watch for missed cues and her take on that track.
