If you bought the tickets through Ticketmaster resale they will absolutely be REAL tickets. That's the advantage of buying there. 

Don't worry. Safe travels and Enjoy the show!

I agree!

 

And you made the right choice between the boxes, too

Don't know if anyone has brought this up yet, but today is Emmy Raver-Lampman's last day at Hamilton! Happy trails, and I hope she goes on to do great things!

I had no idea that tonight was Emmy's last show, I would have paid more attention to her! I was there tonight, as part of the audience that got to witness the show being held due to a suspicious vehicle nearly directly outside the theater. Show started at about 8:28 tonight, after a very long delay. Talk about stressful, I wasn't even sure we would get to see the show. Thanks to the NYPD though, they work fast. Unfortunately, the cast did seem shaken for the first ten minutes or so, of course, as was the audience, but the energy between the cast and the audience seemed to calm everybody down to let them get on with the show and ease back into it, and by the end of My Shot, the show was right back to where it should be. Totally understandable, and the cast did a wonderful job.

Anyway, Austin Smith was Washington tonight. He's shorter than Javier, who was on as Hamilton, which made for an interesting "Call me son one more time" moment. Other than that, he was fantastic. I missed Chris, and honestly didn't feel like I was watching Washington the same way I do when Chris is on, more an actor playing Washington (I know that's what it is, but hopefully my point is understandable), but he still had me tear up during his One Last Time. Deep, rich voice, good acting, all around very good Washington. Javier was of course fantastic, and Ephraim Sykes filling in as Hercules Mulligan was very enjoyable. Higher voice than Oake, and much smaller, but once I got past that, he was very funny, and I didn't at all mind seeing him. It absolutely convinced me that the material is strong enough so that as long as they keep casting it well, the show will always be at such a high level.

^ Was Andrew Chappelle on for anyone? I thought he was the first in line to go on for Oak (and Daveed and Anthony).

Very interesting that someone would leave Hamilton to be in Spongebob. I hope it's the right decision for her!!

Lin and Alex Lacamoire won Oliviers tonight!!!

I know Andrew's on for Oak all eight shows next week, so maybe they were just giving someone else a shot? I don't think Andrew was on because he was snapchatting out of costume last night.

Do you happen to know what dates Oak will be out for vacation?

I assume the 4th-9th, but he won't be in for any shows next week. I saw Andrew as Lafayette/Jefferson, and he was fantastic, so if you have tickets, don't be sad because he's amazing!

Thanks! We have tickets for the 9th, and I wanted the young man we're taking to see him because my daughter and I loved him when we saw him.  But I'm excited to see Andrew, and just delighted to be seeing the show again in general, so I'm not too unhappy.

I guess everyone getting their vacation in before the Tonys (and before their contracts are up). Good to know, thanks.

I really would have bet money that Lin's vacation was to London to work out Hamilton details and go to the Oliviers but he wasn't there to accept his award, so I guess not!

Lin mentioned he was going somewhere undisclosed and tropical went radio silent on social media this week so I'm guessing it was a true rest vacation so he doesn't die of exhaustion.

^ Really glad to hear that, he really needs it! There's just been SO much talk in London lately about getting the ball rolling on the production here so it all kind of added up logically. Hope he's actually sleeping.

Chappelle was not on, no. Wish he was, since I've heard great things, but I was very happy with Ephraim Sykes.

ksilver, did they still do the Broadway Cares announcement even though the show started so late last night?  If so, what were they selling?  Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, they didn't. The show ended so late that we weren't out of the theater until about 11:20 or so, and I think they just wanted to get everyone home as fast as possible. Can't blame them, considering the night we'd had.

 How much were your re-sale box C seats (each) from Ticketmaster?

Saw the show for the second time tonight, having last seen it during previews in July, and it still had that wow factor that gave me chills the first time. It was certainly much different seeing it now that I know the cast recording so well and I was able to catch details that I missed the first time and just take it all in.

Regarding BCEFA collections, they only have cast signed posters for $250.

Austin Smith was on for Washington and he was particularly strong during History Has Its Eyes on You. He can't help that he lacks the physical presence you expect of Washington and that you get from Chris Jackson but he did a great job. Andrew Chappelle was on for Mulligan/Madison and he was fabulous. His Madison was much, much more of a presence than the character was when I saw it in July. I'm not sure if I just don't remember it correctly, but I didn't recall them focusing so much on Madison being sickly and hobbled and using the handkerchief - was that always in the show or did they embellish it during previews?

All the principals were fantastic, as expected. Renee Elise Goldsberry, stood out particularly to me tonight - her Angelica is flawless.

Why is Chris out again? He seems to be disproportionately absent compared to the others

No Sydney was out last night. Gregory Haney played those roles.

I assume many of Jackson's recent absences have been vacation-related, but I do remember seeing a recent tweet saying that he left a performance at intermission due to an allergic reaction. Hope he's doing okay. He's phenomenal.

Also, unrelated question: does anybody have any inside word on what the lottery will look like in the coming weeks? I would love it if they kept everything online for the rest of eternity, but with the weather starting to pick up shortly, I wonder if they'll return to an in-person lotto/Ham4Ham.

And I would love if they brought it back to in person for the rest of eternity
