Hamilton. The Musical everybody strives to go once. Tickets are sold until August. Tickets are terribly expensive. But there is only one realistic chance. Unless you are a Sheik sitting on oil and money. The Broadway lottery. Compete with more than 10000 fans. For a few tickets a day.
So, if you and your girlfriend play the lottery during the
Christmas break when even more fans (New Yorker and tourists alike) are
playing, if you and your girlfriend play for the first time ever, and if your
girlfriend signs up for the lottery not only for the Hamilton show in New York,
but accidentally also in Chicago, would you believe what you read when you
receive these two emails?
Honestly, we neither believed it. I was sure that these
emails must be spam. Only, when we passed the entire queue of waiting Hamilton
fans (to stand in a special (and way shorter) line for lottery winners), when
the guy at the ticket counter congratulated us and handed us our (ten-dollar!)-tickets, when
we were seated in the first (!!) row, and when we heard the first tones. We
really won two tickets of the most popular show in the entire United States.
And not only in New York, but also in Chicago (where we obviously could not
attendJ).
To keep things short and in order not to reveal too much –
the show is as amazing, thrilling and enriching as everybody says.
So: play the lottery! Every! Day! And then: fingers crossed
that you will be as lucky as we were!
By the way: you can play the lottery not only for Hamilton,
but for many different Broadway shows. So play!
