Sorry you are losing a day of your cruise, but “Come from Away” is just fabulous.

 

What weather is impacting your cruise?

Ours were rear mezzanine. $199 each plus fees. A year ago...

 

The one challenge with Hamilton, at least in NYC, is that it seems most of the seats are premium seats, so you can easily get up to $600+ per ticket; we elected not to do that...

My daughter who is a teacher went to a matinee two weeks ago with her class.Tickets were $10 each for mezzanine seats.

She previously saw the show 3 times. She went to high school with the first actor who portrayed Hamilton when the show opened.

Come from away is one of the best shows ever,in my opinion.

I think I read they set some number of tickets aside for school groups. Very cool. 

 

The original Hamilton was Lin-Manuel Miranda, the playwright, Pulitzer, Tony, Grammy, and Emmy award winner. (If he can get an Oscar, he’ll one-up the EGOT). Nice guy to have as a classmate!

I had a very good friend who died on 911 and only for a quirk of fate I was not in the World Trade Center with him on that day.

And not just the actor of course, but as markeb said above,  Lin Manuel-Miranda is also the genius who created Hamilton and wrote the music and lyrics.  And if your daughter went to Hunter, she's no slouch in the brains department either.

Lois! 

I’ve been looking for you. Did you get an email from me? My email has been acting crazy lately and can’t tell if something was sent.😡

[Nitemare]

Come From Away is amazing.

 

We hated Gary, and it should have been right in our wheelhouse.

Well, weather is beautiful here in Bermuda......but when we sail north, the Capt can see a system that can be rough. He wants to get us ahead of it, instead of into it.......if that makes sense....better to leave early.

Safe travels!   On our return from Bermuda to NY some years ago on the NCL Gem, we sailed into a nor'Easter, after first taking a detour to rescue six folks who were stranded on a sailboat that had lost all its power.  That was an incredible experience, as was the wild ride back to NY later that day and night.

Looking to buy Come From Away tickets for October.... it is coming up at $150per ticket for the matinee on Sunday!! Is this a normal price or is there a discount site I can use!

We don't pay that much in England for the theatre!!!

 

I also checked out Hamilton but that was over $350 each!!   I got tickets in London for £75!

[George C]

I bought tickets last year from tkts which sell half price tickets but there is no guarantee what plays will be on that list .

Broadway theatre is more expensive than the West End.  As George said above, you can try TKTS on the day of the show, but you never know in advance what shows you can get.  If there were a show I really wanted to see, I’d get the tickets in advance. Come From Away is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

 

I have been telling my friends (I’m in America) to fly to London to see Hamilton. We had fabulous seats there for a fraction of what they would cost in NY, if you could even get them. 

[George C]

I buy 90 percent of our tickets via tkts sites , but if you really want to see this great play 150 a piece is not a bad price.

"Come From Away" is currently playing in London at the Phoenix; see it there.
