Last Lin-Manuel Miranda 'Hamilton' Broadway Musical Performances Peek Ticket Prices

Not long after the multi-talented Lin-Manuel Miranda announced he'd be stepping down from the lead role in the Broadway smash Hamilton this summer, ticket prices for the Tony Award-nominated musical have skyrocketed -- and it will take quite a number of Alexander Hamilton $10 bills to find a seat to sing along with the rapping Founding Fathers.

Following reports that the creator of Hamilton will be stepping down from the musical in the early days of July to pursue other career projects, prices for his last month of performances have skyrocketed. Due to the success of the show, it was already nearly impossible to book a ticket for the next year, but the idea of missing out on its creator has prompted many to pay up to the thousands to see him -- sometimes more than $10,000.

As of Monday noon, tickets to see Miranda's last bow as Alexander Hamilton at orchestra sides in the Richard Rodgers Theater stand at $11,999.99 on Stubhub, the most expensive seating in the house. The cheapest tickets on the site for Miranda's last night in the show, on July 9, stand at $1,999.00.

In just a couple of weeks, the show, which has already earned Miranda the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, is expected to sweep the Tony Awards. It's nominated a record 16 categories, including an impressive three nominees in Best Featured Actor in a Musical. Miranda himself is nominated in three different categories: Best Score, Book and Actor, competing in the latter with co-star Leslie Odom Jr., who plays Aaron Burr in the show.

Miranda already has a few projects on the work after the wild success of Hamilton, most notably working with Disney: he's written songs for this year's animated film Moana (including one for Dwayne Johnson) and he's also confirmed as Emily Blunt's co-star in a planned Mary Poppins sequel.

Well, my son heard my tune for @TheRock in Moana and said, "¿Más?"
So I think we're gonna be okay, @thejaredbush.

At 36, Miranda already has one of the most impressive résumés in the world of entertainment; in fact, between the success of Hamilton and that of his breakout musical In the Heights, he's just one step away from being honored by all major branches of US entertainment. Already having two Tonys, two Grammys and an Emmy Award (for his work co-writing the opening song for the 67th Tonys), Miranda is only an Academy Award shy to joining the very exclusive EGOT club -- and if Moana is successful enough, it wouldn't be surprising to see his music taking home an Oscar!

In any case, even if you miss Miranda's performance as Hamilton, the show will probably be on Broadway for a very long time -- and won't be the last we hear from this talented New Yorker!
