[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw it in NY with original cast and am seeing it again in Chicago next month.  Chicago is a "permanent" production which will run indefinitely (not stopping in for a month-long run as a touring group).  But I think both the touring cast and permanent casts are going to be superb because a show of this caliber can attract top talent.

Chicago has Karen Olivo as Angelica - she was Vanessa in the original cast of In The Heights, LMM's first show on Broadway.  She's amazing.  Wayne Brady just finished a stint as Aaron Burr in the Chicago cast.  So really - you can't go wrong.

[b]Regarding the National Theater's series that includes Hamilton that a pp mentioned, I just bought the series about two weeks ago and there were plenty of tickets then.  It includes the premier of Mean Girls (before it moves to Broadway), Les Miz, and Waitress.  And of course Hamilton at the Kennedy Center.  [/b]

Enjoy OP - the show is great![/quote]

NP here. I just looked and there are seats for the 4 show package but the 5 show with Hamilton is sold out.[/quote]

I'm a little surprised you got these two weeks ago!  I bought them at the end of March and a friend tried to buy a single ticket a week later and they were sold out then![/quote]

I'm PP you're quoting who bought the 5-show package recently.  I just checked the date and it was April 21.  I bought 4 seats, Orchestra right.  Interesting......

I agree with the PP who said one should listen to the music first before seeing the show - I personally think it enhances it because you don't miss the little nuances.  The brilliance of this show is in the lyrics, which all have double and sometimes triple meaning.  And all the different genres of music that seem to suit the scene/lyrics.

And to the PP worried about starving children, DH and I typically give between $10,000-$20,000 per year to one education and one hunger organization for children in DH's home country (developing country in Asia) and we've personally put in hundreds of volunteer hours with these two organizations, both raising money, and working in their facilities in said country.  We work hard so if I want to treat us to an expensive show, I'll do it![/quote]
