The musical Hamilton is closing its show in Jan of 2020 in Chicago.
For those of you that have seen it, is it worth it? Typically seats are $170 for standard seat.

Nope. Save your $$$ and book ringside seats to the next WWE PPV

Absolutely worth it, we went to NY to see it as an Xmas present for our daughter a couple of years ago and it was worth every penny.

I've not seen it but my daughter and her friends have and they loved it.I have only listened to the soundtrack and did enjoy that. If you liked the soundtrack you will probably like the live performance.Is it worth the price to see it live? Only you can answer that for yourself.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk

perfect timing. i saw it saturday and went in thinking no way was it going to live up to the hype. it exceeded it! i highly recommend it
-
I don’t do theater... that being said, I thoroughly enjoyed Hamilton in Boston.. I thought the storyline and music were both pretty badass

I have seen it twice. If you enjoy musicals/theater I would highly recommend it. If you don't enjoy musicals/theater I would still recommend it
"is it worth it?" is a very subjective question. In my opinion, at/near face value, "yes, it is worth it". I would not pay a crazy premium to watch the show.

I think you have to determine if you are a fan of live cultural entertainment for yourself. If you think you have interest....you should see it before it disappears.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

Thanks everyone, I got 2 tickets and they are in one of the side box sections (Dress Circle Box) for $92 each. Not too shabby.

If you see it and don't like it, you're probably a classless pinko commie bastard. IMHO.

Haven't seen it, and I seldom go to the theater, but FWIW I have never been to a musical I haven't enjoyed thoroughly. I'm sure you'll have a great time.Cincinnati, Ohio. Large BGE since 2011. Still learning.

At $92 it is definitely worth it.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

Awesome that you bought tickets. We also saw it in NY a couple of years ago. Absolutely amazing. After seeing it, the soundtrack is that more meaningful. It equals Les Mis, if only because it is a different genre of music. I didn't expect to like the 'rap' style lyrics, now I go through the entire soundtrack a couple of times a month. Enjoy!Southlake, TX and Cowhouse Creek - King, TX. 2 Large, 1 Small and a lot of Eggcessories.

I haven’t seen it myself, but everyone I know who has absolutely loved it. No brainer for $92 if you ask me. Enjoy!"I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

My wife and I had tickets to see it this past December - I had been trying to get tickets for several years. Night of the show her asthma was acting up - she was adamant that I go. Going by myself sucked, but the show was amazing.
As someone mentioned above, listen to the soundtrack a couple of times prior to the show. This way you will be familiar with the lyrics and better able to enjoy the show.MMBGE / Large BGE / XL BGE (Craigslist Find) / SF30x80 cabinet trailer - "Ol' Mortimer" / Outdoor kitchen in progress.

It's extremely well done and worth the price of admission. Truly one of a kind.

you should try for miss saigon, its one of my favorites and our tastes seem similar -
If you ever get a chance to see The Producers - do it. Just got back from New York and saw Dear Evan Hansen - it was great as well.

I forgot to list The King and I. My wife had been wanting to see it forever so when it came back to Broadway a few years ago, I bought her front row center in the balcony - amazing seats. This 70-something y/o woman was sitting next to me, and kept singing along - aloud. She kept getting shushed by surrounding folks. She couldn’t help herself and before long she’s singing again.
Finally I’d had enough shortly in to the second act, so I turned to her and said “Lady, I paid to hear them sing, not you.” By the look on her face you’d think I’d murdered her first born. I felt bad, but she did remain quiet for the rest of the show.MMBGE / Large BGE / XL BGE (Craigslist Find) / SF30x80 cabinet trailer - "Ol' Mortimer" / Outdoor kitchen in progress.

This was the view we had for Hamilton. Slightly obstructed view on the right but only 1% of the time. I have been to this theatre before and these were the best seats ever.
The musical was great.
