Last year, Lin-Manuel Miranda, the genius behind the new musical HAMILTON, started what has become one of the theatre community's most beloved weekly traditions on Broadway. He invited fellow cast members to join him as he greeted fans outside the Richard Rodgers Theatre before the drawing of the $10 lottery tickets, and they would sing something fun or participate in a Q&A with an unexpected twist. Before long, it grew into a regularly-scheduled pre-lottery performance known as "#Ham4Ham," playing on the fact that Hamilton's face is on the $10 bill.

Fans can now expect to see Miranda introduce a guest performer for a 5-minute show- anyone from rappers to ballet dancers- prior to Saturday evening and Sunday matinee performances. The guest performer is usually a surprise, though Miranda often drops hints on social media before the fact.

The new musical HAMILTON has book, music and lyrics by Tony and Grammy Award-winning composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also plays the title role. The musical is directed by Thomas Kail, with choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and music direction and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire. HAMILTON is inspired by Ron Chernow's biography "Alexander Hamilton."

$10 front row seats for HAMILTON -- the new musical about the $10 Founding Father, AlexanderHamilton are on sale for each show by lottery. The lottery begins two and half hours prior to each performance when patrons may enter their name at the Richard Rodgers Theatre (226 W. 46 St.) for a chance to buy up to two front row tickets for $10 each - Hamilton for Hamilton. The winner's names will be drawn 2 hours before show time. Entrants must present photo ID, and the winners must pay with cash at the box office.
