You live in New York but you have never watched “Hamilton”? Don’t be a black sheep and buy Hamilton Ticket to personally declare: “It was a spectacular sight!”. The musical makes theatre-goers visit the performance whenever they spot its poster on Broadway. Lin Manuel Miranda with sudden interest in a ten-dollar bill man has turned into the greatest sensation over the last decade. Hamilton NYC tickets are sold out within a record time!
In this year Hamilton started National US tour with start point at Atlanta on Aug 25 – Sep 26, Fox Theatre. After that, the cast is planning to stay at Jacksonville, FL from Sep 1 to Sep 12, Moran Theatre.
I would give Hamilton 5/5 (amazing) and the theatre 3.5-4/5 relatively to other theatres (old, tight, small bathroom, did not use the bar).About Hamilton. I think it has a bit too much of hiphop and rapping for my liking but it is funny (and hard to do), mind parents that there are quite some swearwords here and there too, but I cannot deny this musical is fast moving, full of actions, beautiful singing (too many incredible voices), the directing is very detailed, any second everyone is doing something on the stage, the ensemble’s moves are not only synced so well with music, but also are for moving the props in and out vs some supporting staff or hidden ropes/ magnets, the band is amazing.For budget visitors, Hamilton and The Lion King are the two most sold out NYC Broadway musicals. Chances for discount tickets would be buying months in advance, try the lottery for $10 tickets, but I am not that lucky, there are no same day rush tickets for $30-35 like some other shows, but if you are a student or a backpacker, try the stand room option. Arrive 1 hour prior to the show and check with the box office, if the show is sold out at that point, the stand room ticket can be purchased for $40. That was the only option for me when I spontaneously took a bus to NYC for Broadway. And because I am an educator who is used to be standing on my feet (in heels) sometimes 6 hours per day, I would not mind it for Hamilton and I would not mind it for Lion King (but Lion King does not have stand room option I believe). Of course you get what you pay for, the view is a bit limited but I think the audio quality could be even better than top rows in the balcony.I do have some confusion though. Each theatre has a stage door where the fans (and families and friends) would wait for the cast to come out. On one hand I feel it is a bad thing when the crowd starts cheering but quickly turn that off if the person walking out is not who they stand there for. On the other hand, if the size of this crowd defines how hot a show is, then Hamilton is no where near top 3 of the biggest crowds. But I guess for seasoned goers, it does not make sense to hang around 30 minutes if not more just to see someone coming out, or even worse, to get the announcement they already came out through a private exit.

Went to the Richard Rogers Theatre to watch the classic Hamilton. Theatre is a bit old but well kept.Entrance is low and narrow and overall theatre gave the vibe of being over packed for some reason. Can’t explain why.The play was laced with great performances. No complaints there. The bartender was cool.I added an extra star for the play and the bartended. Theatre otherwise is average (not good/not bad).

Attending Hamilton on September 6th was one of my highlights during our trip to New York City. This theatre is extremely historic and easy to navigate (can get very tight during intermission.) We had excellent seats but after seeing it in person I could say that maybe if the seats look like they would be a great view! If you have seen Hamilton on Disney+ or listened to the soundtrack and are unsure about going, I HIGHLY recommend it. Seeing it in person is unlike any Hamilton experience you’ve had before

Went here to watch Hamilton and was blown away. The staff was friendly and made sure that everyone got to their seats in a polite yet efficient manner, and ensured that the experience was overall just a positive one. Which believe me, it was. I would highly recommend anyone who has a chance to come see a show here take that opportunity, you will certainly not regret it.

We’ve been waiting to go to Hamilton for a long time and once we got here, it was incredible. This theatre is beautiful! Being an older theatre though, there are many people in the lobby which makes it very difficult to walk around. However, all of that fades away because this theatre is magnificent. The bartenders were so awesome, attentive, and funny! The staff at the souvenir stands were so helpful as well. I found a credit card and the management was awesome in helping us get that card to the person missing it. I would highly recommend this theatre.

Hamilton itself is absolutely 5 stars! The cast we saw were incredible. Staff were friendly and efficient in getting everyone to seats. Our seats in row O had a great view of the whole stage and the theatre is beautiful and smaller than I'd imagined (which is a plus). When we attended the theatre got stifling hot during Act 1, naturally worsened by needing to wear masks throughout which the staff were (rightly) vigilant about. Both my husband and I felt close to passing out when interval arrived, thankfully it was much more airy for Act 2!

Hamilton was absolutely amazing, it was well worth the trip! The theater is older and a bit cramped. We had an aisle seat and extra leg room with being in the front row of our section - otherwise it would have been very uncomfortable. Ushers were helpful and very efficient.

Hamilton is incredible. This current cast is so good. I cannot recommend it enough. Believe the hype!!! The theatre teams are vigilant about vaccination cards as well as maintaining mask wearing over nose and mouth.

Gorgeous historic theater 🎭 highly recommend you catch a show at the Richard Rodgers Theater. Most recently we enjoyed Hamilton. Bathrooms on first floor/basement only. Use the restroom before you find your seat. Beverages and snacks available for me purchase to include souvenir cups.

Enjoyed Hamilton in October 2021. This review is to help the ladies use the restroom during intermission. First, the line will be wrapped around Exit 5 inside the theatre. Head to that doorway to get into the queue quickly. You may be able to join the line from there closer to the actual restroom, but you will definitely be headed in the right direction. The line actually moves fairly quickly because they designed an one way system inside. You wrap around to the right into stalls and then continuing around to the right as you exit a stall, the sinks. The sinks are staffed by a person, so tipping is appreciated.Enjoy!

Highest compliments to the house manager and usher for 10/10/21 matinee. They promptly and kindly addressed the woman sitting behind us who thought it was acceptable for her two children to loudly sing every line. Kudos to them for their professionalism and responsiveness. Oh and Hamilton never disappoints! So grateful Broadway is back.

Hamilton is just as epic as everyone says it is. It will give you chills.Sat in box E, which is as close to the stage as you can get (other than box A), but does have a slightly obstructed view. (You have to lean over the rail to see the King in one scene). Very comfortable. Obviously there will be lines going in and out of the theater so leave extra time.

I'm so happy that New York Theaters are open again and feel incredibly luck that I was able to see Hamilton. After all the hype surrounding the show I was afraid I'd be disappointed but the performance was unbelievably good. The theater is beautiful. Like many older theaters the seats are on the smaller side but comfortable and you can easily see the stage over the heads of people in front of you. The sound was amazing.

The Richard Rodgers Theater is probably the most famous venue on Broadway today (or, well, before the pandemic). It is a large one, with capacity of 1,319, and is named after Richard Rodgers. He was an American composer, known largely for his work in musical theater and his most famous productions are Oklahoma!, Carousel!, The King and I, and A Grand Night for Singing.Many great productions have been staged in the Richard Rodgers. Hits like If/Then, The Rascals: Once Upon a Dream, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess are great shows on their own, but are head and showders below Hamilton.Hamilton premiered in the Richard Rodgers on August 6, 2015. It doesn‘t need much of an introduction. The show tells the story of Founding Father, Revolution hero, and Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. It follows his life from his humble beginnings, through the war with the British and his times as one of the leading figures of the early days of the United States, up until his final moments, in his duel with friend turned adversary turned enemy Aaron Burr, who is the narrator of the show. Rumors on Broadway has it that Hamilton is the first show to return on stage after the pandemics.Hamilton‘s creator – Lin-Manuel Miranda has had a long love story with the Richard Rodgers. His Broadway debut - In The Heights, was also staged there. And we‘re expecting In the Heights‘ movie debut!

The Rodger’s Theatre is a great venue to watch a Broadway show. It is currently hosting Hamilton and draws very large crowds. The theatre is named after the composer Richard Rodgers and has about 1,300 seats. It is a comfortable theatre for Broadway.
