Hamilton is in Philly So Do Not Throw Away Your Shot

Hamilton is in Philly, and no matter how many times I see this show, I will always want to go see it again. It’s so well done. I consider myself “lucky to be alive right now” in a time where Lin Manuel Miranda continues to make beautiful art. He's a genius. I love Moana and I'm looking forward to diving into his latest Warriors project, but for me, Hamilton will be very hard to beat. This musical (about the country's Founding Fathers of all things) will live on as one of the most popular shows of all time, and for good reason.

The lyrics are so quick, and so smart. The music is beautiful and the story is so incredibly inspiring. The craziest part too, is the subject matter. History told in a way that's so interesting, and with absolutely nothing like it anywhere else, on stage or otherwise. The national touring cast of Hamilton is here performing in Philly through November 23rd at the Academy of Music, and when Hamilton is in Philly, do not throw away your shot to see it.

Enter the weekly lottery for your chance to purchase $10 tickets to see Hamilton while the show is in town. Ensemble Arts Philly is offering forty $10 tickets to each performance of the show. You can enter for a chance to purchase those $10 tickets beginning every Friday at 10am. The lottery will stay open until noon the following Thursday. When it closes, the winners will be contacted with an alert that they have 2 hours to purchase their seats.

Enter for your chance using the Hamilton App on your phone. If you win, you will be able to pick up your $10 tickets within 2 hours of the show. Photo ID is required.

I was lucky enough to have a chance to speak with Tyler Fauntleroy who plays the title role of Alexander Hamilton on this tour. Listen below to hear him talk about hearing the Hamilton soundtrack for the first time, the reaction from fans, remembering all of those lyrics and more.
