However, Broadway has a really weak line up now and that has a lot to do with Hamilton winning so many Tonys. Just not a lot of competition.

I have the soundtrack and I can't even imagine what it looks like.

And, how did you get tickets?

Stick with that.

I go to NYC quite often and have seen most of the plays over the last decade. It's a fine play. As for comparison to great shows, I thought the acting was only okay. Staging was fair. Story was a little weak.

As for tickets, $$$ will get you great seats but if you are in NYC, then why not spend?

It's one of the best shows on Broadway now but, as I said, there's not much competition.

Makes sense. I used to be in NY, but no longer

I heard Sundays are the day to go, with L-MM's alternate (I guess that's more accurate than understudy) in the role.
