`Hamilton' In Pittsburgh: How To Get Tickets To The Broadway Hit

PITTSBURGH, PA - Forget fireworks to ring in the new year as 2018 concludes. Pittsburgh will begin 2019 with a Broadway bang - the touring production of “Hamilton.”

The smash Broadway hit that tells the story of Alexander Hamilton, the nation’s first treasury secretary, will be at the Benedum Center Jan. 1-27, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust announced.

This touring cast of “Hamilton” won’t include star Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote the book, music and lyrics. But the musical, whose 11 Tony Awards in 2016, included best musical, best score, best book, best choreography and best lead actor, is sure to be among the most sought-after theater tickets in Pittsburgh in years.

So how do you get tickets? Here’s what you need to know:

• Current 2017-18 PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh subscribers who renew their season tickets between March 27 and May 1 will receive the same number of tickets to “Hamilton: as is in their current 2017-18 season ticket order.

• Due to the unprecedented demand for tickets, even Cultural Trust donors are not guaranteed tickets. A limited number are expected to be made available to lead partners, circles or corporate membership at the patron levels.

• A limited number of tickets will be available to new Cultural Trust members and new 2018-19 PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh subscribers.

• The general public onsale dates for all 2018-19 PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh season shows, including “Hamilton,” will be announced at a later date.

• There will be an allocation of lottery tickets for every “Hamilton” performance in Pittsburgh. Lottery details will be provided in the fall.
