A modern classic that is a true testament to what New York and this nation stands for at its very foundation. Hosted by the prestigious Richard Rodgers Theater, Hamilton pulls no punches delivering a fiercely poetic and complex retelling of Alexander Hamilton’s life through the medium of modern music. The experience from entrance to being ushered to our seats to intermission and us inevitably leaving was underscored by this intense feeling of excitement and the feeling that you were about to witness something special. The cast is great, although they will unfortunately be damned to comparison against the original cast. We sat in orchestra and the sound, visibility, and set design were great. While it is no Les Mis or Wicked in the emotion it evokes, Hamilton is an energetic and compelling musical that deserves its accolades, a must see if you have the time and budget to do so.
Wonderful, elegant and the biggest theater of all I was on Broadway. The show Hamilton was amazing, well soundtracked, the view from even the last rows was perfect. The seats are comfortable, toilets are on lowest level but also very conveniently at level 0 for disabled people. Highly recommend the experience if you're into Broadway shows!
I went there to see Hamilton; it was absolutely amazing …our tickets malfunctioned in the beginning before the show and we thought we weren’t gonna be able to watch the play however the staff and security was EXTREMELY helpful and kind and understanding our situation, they kindly sold us new tickets at the ticket box and then after intermission they let us sit in decent seats Speaking of intermission, as soon as it hits… RUN!!! It gets packed in the main lobby so I suggest if you need to use the bathroom, buy snacks, or buy from the gift shop, go immediately. But genuinely I 100% suggest you go, and watch a play it’s definitely worth seeing!
It was very nice overall. The show obviously spectacular. I would recommend them letting people in before as we came 30 min early and still barely got in on time. Also, the place could use more restrooms. The break was 20 min if i remember correctly and not everyone (including us) made it to the toilet. Slightly overpriced but everything was enjoyable so we recommend.
Great place to see Hamilton. The bathroom is all the way down on the lowest level. So might be an issue if you have trouble with stairs. Everything is tight and cramped. But the show was great. Hamilton is a great show!
