Kennedy Center ticket sales take a nosedive after Trump takeover

Never saw Swan Lake.

Ok, at least a third? More left later.
The so called dialogue was in hard to follow or understand rap w/ mediocre musicians. I play a little guitar and could see the guitarist was only using very basic chords. Nothing special.

But but it's all edgy n stuff; black crap music set to a play about white people!!! You have to gush over it like it's the moon landing or something.

Let’s put it this way, how would you appraise a guy from Jersey saying Jersey had a trail dog sled race comparable to the big one in Alaska? And a spectator from Jersey watching the event endorsing his view?

Here's my program

I had this conversation with Concart right after I saw the show. I posted a photo of the program with the actors' bio and it had almost the exact same actors as the show he saw in Jacksonville.
I never claimed it had the exact same cast as Broadway.

Not just the cast, the production. I have seen Hamilton twice, once on Broadway, and a second time in Hartford Connecticut with the official road show and the two shows were incomparable

If you went to Hamilton expecting to see the Sound of Music you would obviously be disappointed, it was new, original, innovating, mixing traditional Broadway with current musical genres, plus, it was a fast moving look at history

Yeah, look what kind of people give rave reviews for that crap. Queers, trannies, dykes. Fringy people.
I guess NeverRightWalt is enchanted by those types.

I'm glad you liked it.
Do you normally take a dump and admire what you just did?

I was at least expecting understandable dialogue. That's a minimum. There was none.

Who's complaining? Laughing at you morons and your alleged 'artistic sense' is just the normal thing to do.

I do not usually like country music, so do you know what I do? I will give you a hint, I do not laugh at country music fans lack of "artistic sense." I just do not go see country music performances.

Hamilton tickets are hard to come by, and expensive. They are on extremely limited release still.

Tickets will set you back more than $700 a piece. Good tickets will be well over a thousand dollars each. And that is not scalping prices, but rather box office prices.

So in your world, people pay $2,000 for a couple to go, and then decide they do not like it, and leave halfway through? And not just one or two, but somewhere between a third and half? You would think they would checkout if they like it first?

I went to see it in the movie theater. I would not have been able to see it alone on Broadway, so after getting good tickets, it would have cost me $5,000... And that was a bit steep... Or I am a cheapskate. I know people with much less money than me who have seen it multiple times, so probably the cheapskate thing.

. It was that bad.

I have no idea how much the tickets cost. The wife got them. I didn't want to know.

Who cares? It's you gimps claiming this crappy play as some great art or something, not me, dumbass. It's just another Woke marketing scam, period. Just because some idiots with money to waste go see it doesn't make it anything good. In fact, after being suckered out of that kind on money not many are going to be honest about how much they hated it, lol.

I love Hamilton! It’s brilliant

I agree, brilliant. I could certainly understand that it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but to spend thousands of dollars, and to go into NYC, all to complain about it seems stupid.

I was thinking of the current crop of Broadway Plays, and I think Hamilton is the best. It is innovative, so hard to compare to past Broadway Plays which are more established.
