Marsha is on again tonight covering Eliza. Also, does anyone know if Rachel has any holiday dates scheduled? Because she is one of the only reasons I intend to go this year and I would be genuinely gutted to miss her. Maybe send her a tweet and ask? Rachel is fabulous so I'd be sad to miss her as well (I'm going again this weekend and in April), but equally I'm intrigued to see how Miriam-Teak Lee tackles the role!

It's so early in the run I doubt she has any long-term holidays planned. It's flu season..

Wow. I was there tonight and it was even better than I thought it would be (I've loved the recording for two years now). Marsha Songcome and Giles Terera were the standouts for me, though the entire cast was wonderful. (Jamael Westman was on as Hamilton, the cast board was incorrect initially and was adjusted by the interval).

Yeah, it was Jamael as Ham. Board was not updated.
Giles is the star of the show, I f*cking love him! He just commands the stage during "Wait For It" and "The Room Where It Happens".
Jason has improved his Lafayette/Jefferson. I really enjoyed him tonight.
Met almost everyone at stage door. Tarinn is the sweetest of them all. So charming and funny!

How much longer before this thread overtakes the Wicked thread in number of posts? End of January? Middle of February? Early March? Place your bets!
And when exactly will it be renamed The Ongoing Hamilton Discussion Thread?

Guys, I have a very random question here. Has anyone seen the show on the Dec 23? My friend was at one of the previews, where he clearly heard “3 little tweaks” in the text (I presume you know what I’m talking about). And when he returned on the eve of 23rd, he insidts that everything was sung “as on OBC”. I don’t believe this so I’m looking for someone who can prove him wrong I was there that evening. I believe the Jersey and Propose it tweaks were in but Vice president was out though wouldn't swear on it

Alright so... stupidly maxed out my six ticket limit by buying for my family last year and I want to buy one extra ticket for a night I’m seeing Hamilton for a friend as a present. I know the website recommends giving them the money for the ticket blah blah blah but I don’t want to do that for various reasons and so have purposefully scoped out a spare seat on the night I’m going. Has anyone bought additional tickets using different cards etc? What are they using to keep track of who’s buying? Any thoughts/ideas?

Different card on different account should be fine.

Different card on different account should be fine. It doesn’t have to be a different TM account as far as I’ve found. You just can’t have more than one open booking on the same credit card - I tried on my main card with my first original booking that only has 3 seats and it just won’t allow it. Then I’ve used my other card twice in succession when I went in December plus another future booking. However I currently have two open bookings on my debit card.

Has anyone bought additional tickets using different cards etc? What are they using to keep track of who’s buying? Any thoughts/ideas? I was able to book 7 tickets last January - 4 with the pre-sale, 2 with the normal sale and then I just tried one more in the normal sale to see whether it was possible to go over the 6 limit and it was... they were single ones for 7 different shows. I have since booked three more - all on TM, with the same credit card. I have been to three of the shows and so far, no issues.

I have two open bookings on one credit card so it's not impossible. I know they have cancelled bookings when people went over the 6 tickets per booking period on Broadway. But no idea how/if they keep track of the whole thing for the London production.

I sincerely hope none of mine are cancelled. I’m taking different people each time. Unfortunately I am usually the “ticket booker” amongst my friends and family as they just don’t have the patience with websites. They also tend to faff around and lose their bookings because they take so long.

Marsha Songcome was utterly fantastic as Eliza tonight. She doesn't have quite the same vocal power as Rachelle at times but her acting portrayal of Eliza is all spirit and then fury and heartbreak and passion. I love when you can tell a performer has thought their portrayal in such detail. And my god, she burnt those letters haha!

Is Rachelle ill? Marsha has been on for 3 days in a row now.

I swear every Saturday matinee thus far he has been on, or have I been confusing days? From what I have heard he ks pretty great, as is the lead, so it won't matter which is on either way!
