"The musicals that leave us staggering on our feet are the ones that really reach a lot." Lin Manuel-Miranda When it was announced over a year ago that Hamilton was coming to Denver, I got so excited. My students that year were SUPER into musicals and we had been listening to portions of the soundtrack for months. I loved how Lin Manuel Miranda made this story relevant with great music and kids were getting excited for history! I couldn't wait to have the opportunity to take Blake to see it! (He is still mad at me for taking him to see his girlfriend in "The Nutcracker" years ago--maybe this will stop his hate of the arts!)
The Denver Center for Performing Arts kept introducing new "packages" to buy that would guarantee you the opportunity to buy Hamilton tickets. As tempting as they were, money (and my desire to have a new kitchen) kept me from buying a guaranteed option to see this show. So today "public" tickets went on sale and wow--what an adventure. Everyone logged in prior to 10 am to be put in the line and at 10 am we received our "numbers" in line. Mine? 141,322! There was no chance of tickets then. Ouch. Luckily our other spot in line was at 6555! There might be a chance of tickets after all. At 12:30, my number finally came up and SUCCESS!!! Tickets for the matinee on April 1st! Easter will be super sweet this year as we go see this show. When I got home, I realized just how lucky we truly were. Here are some stories about others experiences that did not go so well: The Know (Denver Post). I got on stub hub to see what our tickets were going for--we paid $165 but similar tickets are now selling for more than $500. Hamilton tickets are definitely the hottest in town and we get to go! So excited I am going to be able to check this item off our list!
