sorry about your lunch.
No need to apologize - it was okay, just not transplendent.

I'm trying to think of a concept that I would find less appealing than "rap on Broadway" I know everyone says it's good, it just can't be.
Maybe next they can do an update of "Romeo & Juliet"/"West Side Story" in rap & make it the Bloods vs the Crips.
Ginny wants to go to "Hamilton" but I have just about zero interest, especially given that we didn't like "In the Heights" much and that wasn't even rap music. Moot point if tickets aren't available and would require us to get a mortgage if/when they were.

I've been listening to the cast album on Spotify, and must say I'm impressed so far. I agree that this is one of those musicals that will be remembered as one that opened up the form (c.f. Hair).
The road show cast is coming to SF next year, but those who buy a season subscription to the theatre company hosting it get first crack at tickets.

So far, Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton), Philippa Soo (Eliza, his wife), and Leslie Odom Jr (Burr) have announced they will be leaving in July as the one year contracts expire. Soo has agreed to play Amelie in an upcoming Broadway musical based on the movie of the same name.
Several reports place Rene Elise Goldsberry (Anjelica, Eliza's sister) as negotiating for a much better contract in the show, or she bolts. Daveed Diggs (Lafayette / Jefferson) is reportedly negotiating for a six month renewal at much higher tab.

I really hope that the new cast members are damn good, considering the # of people who've bought tickets for the next year at very high prices. While this ensemble type show isn't as reliant on specific star power that many others are, still...
That's an excellent observation.
Javier Munoz, who replaces Miranda, has been replacing Miranda at least twice weekly. And he played the role in workshops as the musical evolved. No word on who will replace the other two.

Tickets for the Chicago production are running as much as $6000 each on the "unofficial" market.

I don't know where else to post this, but I have found the one person who doesn't seem to know about Hamilton, or at the least Lin-Manuel Miranda. I was absolutely astounded by this.

I hope you didn't tell him or her.

She now knows, and I think she feels like an idiot. (I may have overdone my reaction)

that's not nearly as strange as BROOKLYNITES who hang out with women from brooklyn and don't know what a fucking DOULA is. (god I'm jealous of that.)
