Feel like you threw away your shot to see Hamilton? Well, if you failed to secure seats for the three-week production at the Fox Theatre this month, you aren’t alone. Tickets to the award-showered historical hip-hop musical have been a scalding-hot commodity since it opened on Broadway in 2015, and the show’s stop in St. Louis is no exception. But there is hope! In keeping with a Hamilton tradition, a lottery will offer a few $10 orchestra seats for each performance.
