    I'm so excited. SO EXCITED.

    I stayed up to watch the Tonys, and they closed it with The Schuyler Sisters, and I fell in love all over again.

    Can I ask how you got to watch them? Is there any way I could rewatch them online? I've been trying all day to no avail! 😠thanks ☺️

    I got tickets, I'm so excited! They're for March 2018 so I probably won't keep up this level of excitement for 14 months, but you never know!

    I'm going in January! It was a very stressful 35 minutes trying to get tickets but they're mine, yippee!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,014 Mod ✭✭✭✭GoldFour4


    Gonna pick some up this evening for my birthday in 2018!! Way ahead of time but it'll be something to look forward to.

    Had completely forgot about signing up to the priority ticketing. Was a nice surprise to get the email.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,071 ✭✭✭✭wp_rathead


    Roll on February 2018
    🎵Gonna be in the room where it happens 🎵

    Got my tickets too. Going in December so will be a nice Christmas treat :). Saw it when I was in NYC and it was without a doubt the best musical I have seen.

    Lucky you! I'd love to have gone in December but by the time I got my priority booking email, Nov, Dec and Jan had no availability. Booked for June 2018 in the end - seems too far away to get excited about! But after everything I've heard and read about it, I really didn't want to miss it.

    Can't wait to go see this. Heading in January. I've listened to it so much over the last year or so I think it has dethroned Phantom as my favourite musical.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,256 ✭✭✭metaoblivia


    I had the privilege of seeing Hamilton last Friday in San Francisco, thanks to the lottery system ($10 tickets, 2nd row orchestra, center!). It was INCREDIBLE! I have been listening to the soundtrack nonstop for months, so it was partly just a big celebration to be there and be singing along with the songs in my heads. But seeing it on stage really brought the music to life even more. It was so, so good. I came away with a new appreciation for songs that hadn't really stuck to me up until then.

    I'm back at it, trying for the lottery again in hopes I can see it once more before it leaves town.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,070 ✭✭✭OU812


    I’m listening to god soundtrack this morning. And it’s fantastic. Would love to see the show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,139 ✭✭✭✭Caranica


    Saw it last month and have tickets to go again in September, it is phenomenonal!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,424 ✭✭✭Aisling(",)


    I got tickets to go next month in London!
    In the stalls near the back and cannot wait.
    I've been listening to the soundtrack for so long that I'm super pumped.

    Do you know if Hamilton will be still showing in August? I am over in London in August and want to go to a show - and hopefully Hamilton - but obviously tickets are not on sale, and I don't know if it will still even be showing.

    I'd be shocked if Hamilton wasn't in London until at least the end of the year tbh. Sells out all the time

    I've noticed that they seem to release tickets for the next batch once a month. So, today, they've released tickets for July. I would guess around this time next month they'd release tickets for September - that's just what I've noticed though. Keep an eye on their Facebook - that's where I saw it.

    I got great tickets for a Saturday in July for £56.50 each - steep, but am happy. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,467 ✭✭✭5star02707

    I have to say I loved this show, wasnt sure what to expect when I bought the tickets but wow it’s amazing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,467 ✭✭✭5star02707


    Watched the show last week and the casts were amazing that day!
    Here's the kicker, Ms. Lea Salonga was in the audience as well watching it ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,532 ✭✭✭EagererBeaver


    Just saw it last night. Incredible. Brilliant. Stunning.

    Eliza and George Washington in particular were outrageously good.

    Eliza has stolen the show both times I've seen it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 442 ✭✭eimaj18


    Wasn’t totally mad on Eliza - she was very talented and did what she did well, but I thought she was quite boring, if you know what I mean? Like she didn’t make the part her own? Whereas I saw two different actors playing Hamilton, Lafayette/Jefferson and King George and each actor had their own spin on it.

    Really great show - thoroughly enjoyed it. Never thought a musical about one of the founding fathers of USA would be in my top 5! It’s a really clever musical too - I saw this YouTube video about motifs (look it’s up, its great). And also, all the Easter Eggs in it too - I watched the original Disney Beauty and the Beast today and Gaston says “screw your courage to the sticking place”. There are so many references to other films, songs, etc. (I could talk about Hamilton all day!!)

    Karl Queensborough as Hamilton and Waylon Jacobs as Burr impressed me the most :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,276 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    Went Wednesday, was brilliant. Had great seats too.

    Hadn't explained what it was to my wife. She knew it was a musical and that's it. She loved it too.

    Now... Will it ever come to Ireland? Please, I wanna see it again!

    Not for a long time. It's selling out months in advance in London, that usually means years before a tour. 3-5 years would be my guess


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,467 ✭✭✭5star02707


    There is also a great Facebook community group

    https://facebook.com/groups/539808286215045?

    They posts pictures of seats and what's the view like.

    If anyone wants to watch Hamilton this December or January 2020 tickets will be available this Monday

    Disney just paid $75m for the rights to the screen version of the stage show.

    This is not an adaptation like Les Mis. It’s the original cast in the original stage production.

    Coming late 2021

    The original cast live recording of Hamilton on Broadway will premier in Disney+ on July 3rd.

    This is the original stage show with the original cast in the original theatre. NOT a film adaptation (which I’d also be interested in)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,070 ✭✭✭OU812




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,424 ✭✭✭Aisling(",)


    Looking forward to watching this tonight.
    My boyfriend has no clue what he's in for .I'll have to try stop myself singing along for the whole duration!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,276 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    Gonna get a take out in and watch it with the wife tonight. looking forward to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,070 ✭✭✭OU812


    Watching it right now. It’s quite stunning.

    I could do with more filmed musicals on demand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,276 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    Gotta say.... I preferred the UK cast.
