Hamilton is currently the hottest ticket on Broadway. Creator and lead actor Lin-Manuel Miranda did his final performance last July 9, with resale ticket prices ranging from $2700 to a whopping $20,000. That night was also the final performance for Tony-award winning actor Leslie Odom Jr., who played Aaron Burr, and Phillipa Soo, who played Elizabeth Schuyler. Miranda’s alternate, Javier Muñoz, has taken his place as Alexander Hamilton.
