According to the New York Post, 29-year-old special education teacher Danielle Posner set up a scheme to catch a Craigslist Hamilton ticket scalper, after realizing that her tickets were fake.

Originally, Posner's case was not taken seriously by the cops in her Washington Heights precinct, who insisted that they have "murders around here." Posner retorted, "Well, he murdered my dream of going to Hamilton." After waiting eight months to see the show only to discover her tickets were fake, this was a pretty serious blow to Posner, so serious that she managed to persuade the police to work with her to catch the scammer. Their operation was successful, and the criminal, Glenn Richardson, was put into handcuffs as soon as the money was exchanged.

From the creative team behind the Tony Award-winning In The Heights comes a wildly inventive new musical about the scrappy young immigrant who forever changed America: Alexander Hamilton. Tony and Grammy Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda wields his pen and takes the stage as the unlikely founding father determined to make his mark on a new nation as hungry and ambitious as he is. From bastard orphan to Washington's right hand man, rebel to war hero, loving husband caught in the country's first sex scandal to Treasury head who made an untrusting world believe in the American economy, Hamilton is an exploration of a political mastermind. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Eliza Hamilton, and lifelong Hamilton friend and foe, Aaron Burr, all attend this revolutionary tale of America's fiery past told through the sounds of the ever-changing nation we've become. Tony Award nominee Thomas Kail directs this new musical about taking your shot, speaking your mind, and turning the world upside down.
