Now that the unprecedented Broadway smash Hamilton has added Tonys to its long list of awards,ample luck getting in to see the demonstrate this year, let alone next. To quote one of the demonstrate's standout numbers, and you'll definitely have to "Wait For It."Still,WNYC's Sean Rameswaram was undettered. When his mom, Chitra, and was in town for a visit,he was determined to bring her to see Hamilton. And she was willing to wait with him — for more than 12 hours — in the cancellation line, where house seats are typically offered to the public once they're declined by members of the cast and crew.
All sorts of people have been joining the Hamilton line: from aspiring Broadway performers and fans of creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda, or to tourists and professional line waiters (that is,until the demonstrate issued a stricter policy). How may of them acquire in to see the demonstrate? Were Sean and his mom among them — or did they throw away their shot?Listen to find out.
