When Hamilton wins the Pulitzer Prize this week...

I doubt Hamilton winning the Pulitzer will really make that big of a difference to its ticket availability.

It's already saturated the media and has crazy hype. There comes a point when further accolades and discussion don't add more.

Is the original cast really that big of a draw? I mean, we obviously know and love these Broadway names (Odom, Goldsberry, Groff, O'Malley, etc.), but is the average theatergoer (or maybe even less than average due to Hamilton's success) going to know the difference from replacements? I could understand an interest in seeing LMM since he is the creator and has been doing a lot of press, but beyond that, I think the show is and will be the draw for years (and productions) to come.

Maybe someone can enlighten me otherwise.

No, I think you're right. I think for the most part it's wishful thinking on behalf of those saying that the show is gonna struggle when the OBC leave. Some people can't stand the success/hype the show is having. It will have little to no effect.

if Hamilton doesn't win I firmly blame OP for jinxing it with this thread / title

This may be a silly question:

Are we talking Pulitzer Prize for Drama? For Music? For History?



I know Rent and Next to Normal won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama but Hamilton had me thinking....

I hope we see some smart media attention focused on the runner-ups. Allow these plays to receive some sort of spotlight - so that they can, in their regional premieres and productions moving forward, have an elevated presence and not get overshadowed by Hamilton (which is truly worthy of this accolade) "



The article I read said the runner-ups will be mentioned at the announcement this afternoon.

Lin just announced he's going into the studio and won't be around....does this mean he doesn't think he's winning? Do they tell people beforehand to be there?

It's not that kind of awards. It's just, literally, announced.

It's official!

Hamilton is the recipient of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize in Drama!

Congratulations Lin-Manuel Miranda and everyone involved. So very well deserved even with some naysayers.

And to anyone that asked about this making more of an impact, I agree that it won't. Most people will have no idea of any of the recipients of the Pulitzers.

sometimes I struggle with misinformation in broadwayworld articles. It names specifically 4 musicals which have won the Pulitzer prize for Drama (Usually awarded to a play, in the past fifty years, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama has been awarded to four musicals (A Chorus Line, Sunday in the Park with George, Rent and Next to Normal). but then in its own by the year listing lists several others including South Pacific, Fiorello!, Of Thee I Sing, How to Succeed etc. Just frustrating when their own articles contradict themselves.

Even before the announcement, I was hoping The Humans would get it. Attending the talk with the cast and Frank Rich this evening. Would have been even more special had they won. But not winning doesn't take away how magnificent this play is.

And now its having it's press Q&A....and someone actually asked something like: Were you worried what would happen if Hamilton did not win? (Paraphrased)



Thud.
