Is Hamilton in NYC worth it?

[Anonymous]

Tix seem to have dropped a bit. . . Around $350/person for the cheap tix. Is it worth it? We can afford it, but I'm cheap. . .

Then again, we're not so well off that dropping $1k/night is nothing (once you take into account uber, dinner, etc.).

We are seeing in soon so will report back! My immediate answer is yes,it is worth it.

I'm going next weekend and will report back. Is it really a big deal that I am not listening to the music beforehand?

I saw it in DC but yes. Google the sites that explain what is happening through the songs. It’s worth it.

There are so many lyrics you will miss if you don’t listen at least once beforehand.

Are you asking if it’s worth seeing in general or if it’s worth going to NYC over Kennedy center?

I don’t think so now that the OG cast has left.

It’s more of the experience and being able to say you did.

Is it worth paying $350 / ticket?

I saw it in NYC a few months ago and it was amazing. It was easier for us because we have a house on the shore, so didn’t need a hotel, just train fare. My 14-year-old daughter is obsessed, and she was totally blown away. We paid more than $350 per person and it was totally worth it.

I don’t put much weight to a 14 year old’s impression. I’m interested in an adult POV.

This is ridiculous. You are essentially saying that the original cast actors are the best actors ever for the show and give the most definitive portrayals of all time, and no other future actors can even come close with their own interpretations of the roles.

No.

We saw Hamilton in London and it was amazing.

I've seen it in both NYC and DC and loved it both places. NY is a smaller theater so even the worst seats are going to be fairly close and it's a cool experience to be in NY when so much of it is set there (also cool to see it in DC with its govt ties). We had way worse seats when we saw it in DC, but I still thought it was great. Casts seemed comparable.

I paid $350/ticket for tenth row at kennedy center and it was definitely worth it. I personally would probably just see it in DC unless I was going to be in NYC for some other reason.
