Don't throw away your shot. Here's how to get tickets to 'Hamilton' in Mpls.
Finally, you won't have to travel to Chicago or New York to see the hip hop musical "Hamilton" about Alexander Hamilton that has taken Broadway by storm.
The fiery musical written by Tony-winner Lin-Manuel Miranda will launch the Hennepin Theatre Trust's 2018-19 season with a six-week run beginning on Aug. 29 at the Orpheum Theatre.
The season also includes the Tony Award- and Emmy Award-winning "Dear Evan Hansen,'' the musical about a high school senior with anxiety disorder who finally gets a chance to fit in.
Tickets for "Hamilton" have been tough to get elsewhere. In November, tickets sold out in less than seven hours in Des Moines, according to the Des Moines Register.
