So I was thinking a Wed. matinee might be better. Yes,I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I are on the Celebrity Summit right now, and last night we went to the Broadway Cabaret show — the six singers from the production cast singing show tunes. The usual mix of Les Miz, Phantom, etc. To our great surprise, midway through the show, one of the singers introduced the next song as having been written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, whom he described as the genius behind In the Heights and a newer show called Hamilton, from which the next song came. My wife and I and a few others applauded, but otherwise there was silence from the nearly 1000 people in the packed theatre. (Do they live under a rock?) He then sang The Room Where It Happens, with the other singers filling the ensemble roll. He did a great job, and the song was well staged and presented for a cruise ship. My wife and I were so happy that Hamilton has made its way onto a cruise ship! That's fantastic! I would have love to have been there. Was the song received well by the others in the theater? (It's one of the few numbers that isn't rap, if I am remembering correctly.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really confused as to the best way to get tickets-- We arrive late (4:30) on the 16th so we are not planning on a play that night, but would like to see Come From Away or Hamilton or ??. How does the lottery work and is it too early for us to enter? I saw that Come From Away is available at TKTS-- but there are 4 or 5 different choices, many include a social media account. Can tickets only be purchaced at TKTS the day of or the day before the performance? I am a novice at this, so appreciate being "walked through" the ticket buying process. I'm just learning, and I've gotten a lot of good advice here, including downloading the TKTS app, to see what is available. We are planning on going to the Seaport booth which apparently opens at 11 a.m. (vs noon at Times Square and Lincoln Center), to get same day tickets and matinee for the next day, thus saving ourself a trip the next day. I live in the SF Bay Area, and won 2 $10 tickets to see Hamilton this past Sunday by entering online through the Hamilton app. Through this app (or through the website), you can enter in lotteries in NYC, SF, Philadelphia, London, and Chicago, among others, I believe. If you are a winner, you have to purchase the tickets by 4 p.m. for the show the following day. The odds of winning this way depend on the number of people who enter each day, but I read somewhere that they are around 100 to 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s really no context to any of the songs sung in these little cruise ship concerts. They are less than an hour long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
