Going "ham"

We tried to get Hamilton tickets while in New York, but of course it proved impossible:


1. It's sold out through at least June
2. Any seats that are available are at least $1000


We went to the theater anyway, and as a joke decided to just go up to the ticket window and say "Two, please." The guy was at least amused and told us "I have nothing for you." Alright then. We also tried the online lottery, where they pick like 21 people (out of how many thousands, I wonder) to get 2nd row tickets for only $20. We did NOT get picked. But we were able to get 12th row tickets to see The Color Purple, which was phenomenal. My friend and I both cried. And will start saving up to see Hamilton in 2018.
