What's the difference between a non-touring production and a touring production as far as quality? Or what makes a non-touring production better, not just for Hamilton but for any Broadway show?

These tickets are sold out.

Dream on. The prices for Book of Mormon have never dropped

Saw Hamilton last fall and I cried through it - it's beautiful and powerful. The Chicago cast is supposed to be wonderful, I have a friend who saw it there. Enjoy your splurge!

Agree with this. We also saw it with the original cast and felt it was worth what we paid ($450/ticket, which in retrospect was a bargain).

Chicago is not a touring production. For that reason alone I would see it in Chicago over KC. Is $350 worth it for you? Hard to say but it sounds like a great weekend!

We've got tickets for Hamilton in London next year! We're building the vacation around it.

It's amazing and I would not pass up the chance to see it.

It's a great show, although I likely won't be able to see it again in DC because I'm assuming it will be too hard to get tix. How are ticket prices looking in NYC? If cheaper, would you rather go there for a wknd trip?

I saw it in NY after Lin Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odon and Philippa Soo left but before other original cast members left. To me, it would be worth $350 to see it again (and again). LMM is a genius. The show is funny, heartbreaking, educational and of course, beyond entertaining. I have never been in a theater where the entire audience was so overjoyed to be there.

DH has a business trip to Chicago in a couple of weeks. I'm going to fly out and join him. Hamilton is playing there. The cheapest non limited view tickets are $350. Is it worth it? I know the show has been getting a lot of buzz, but is it warranted?
