I recently heard this is coming to my city next season!! I am ready & prepared to spend a wad of cash.

Are you going to do season tickets, or just get the Hamilton tickets? I am trying to figure out the chances that it sells out.

We saw it today at 2pm and it was amazing - and then we saw the 8pm showing of The Color Purple, which was also amazing. Such a wonderful day!!

That sounds like an amazing day!!! I would have loved to have seen The Color Purple. Was Cynthia Erivo in it still?

It's coming to my city too. At first I thought I'd just risk it but now DH thinks we should get season tickets. We get a lot of great shows here, so I'm not going to argue with him! I'm actually shocked he wants to see it again, he thinks my obsession is ridiculous, but he does admit that he was surprised at how much he liked it too.

Speaking of my Hamilton obsession, does anyone know when it will end? Or wane? I still listen to it (&/or the mixtape) every single day. It's been months now, I'm surprised I still want to listen to it all the time!

My 3 year-old can't ask to watch Thomas without me and the 7 and 9 year-olds singing "you simply must meet Thomas, Thomas!"

Shit. I am going to miss Joshua Henry in Chicago by two weeks. . I was so looking forward to him. Guess I'll have to go again when the tour hits Detroit.

Yes, she was! She was so amazing, and got a standing ovation mid-way through.

Today is our Hamilday!!

DH and I were walking around the frigid streets of Chicago when we passed Ari Afsar (Eliza) outside the theatre. Had she not been on the phone I might have accosted her. lmao

Dang, I'm missing Joshua Henry by just over a week - I had no idea he'd be leaving so soon. I had really been looking forward to seeing him.

I told DH and said "I didn't even know that guy could sing!" All shocked. He looked at me like I'm an idiot. "Of course he can, I've seen him sing a lot." What?!

Apparently I've never actually watched him in anything. I always thought he was just a comedian! Ha

I definitely think of him as more funny than anything, so I'm mixed emotion on this. But he can sing. He even sang on chappelles show lol.

[karinothing]

Oh! I should get to see him. DH is super excited now, he loves Wayne Brady lol..

Ugh we go on Jan. 15! Missing him by two days.

Still, so very excited I am finally FOUR days away from Hamilton!!! It seems like forever since I bought my tickets last June.

Hey can I ask a question about the Chicago theater set-up for anyone who has seen the show there? I did read through the last few pages, but haven't read through every page so I apologize if it's been asked.

Reviews on TA for the theater mention the only bathroom in the place is in the very basement with huge ass lines. Is this true? We are in the Dress Circle and I want to plan my sprint at intermission if there is truly only ONE women's restroom and it's in the basement.

Can't speak for dress circle but the mezzanine level, there was an additional bathroom so it's not just the one
