Hamilton Opens Big on Broadway – Hip-Hop History Musical Tops the List of Most Expensive Tickets

President Obama and “Hamilton Theater” make for great business. Ever since the bio musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda was announced, it received a lot of media attention and early previews had legends like Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sir Paul McCartney raving. The opening night was attended by the Obama family and the musical simply wowed him. Premiering at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on August 6, the first week recorded a massive haul of $1.3 million. The advanced sales are off the roof and things will get better once Hamilton tickets become easily available.

The exhilarating musical revolves around the founding father Alexander Hamilton and has become the hottest event in New York. Tickets are quite hard to get and Hamilton has the most expensive secondary market tickets on Broadway. Directed by Thomas Kail, the musical has Tony Award winning actor Lin-Manuel Miranda playing the lead role.

On ExciteEvents, the average ticket price for 337 shows is $445 and the most expensive ticket carries a price tag of $1581. Multiple shows are priced above $1057 and even this hasn’t stopped theater enthusiasts from attending this buzzed about musical.

Hamilton has been planned for an extravagant run and shows will extend well into 2016. It’s expected that once the hype goes down a bit maybe ticket prices will also come down. According to ExciteEvents, shows taking place in 2016 have an average ticket price of $402, the lowest price cited so far as $327.

Other people from the White House who have seen the musical are Vice President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. Celebrities who have given the musical a nod are Julia Roberts, Jimmy Fallon, Laverne Cox, Whoopi Goldberg and Olivia Wilde.
