Bastard, orphan, son of a whore, and a Scotsman, he grew up to be a hero and a scholar. Who else could I be talking about but everyone’s favorite $10-bill Founding Father, the one and only Alexander Hamilton, star of the revolutionary Broadway musical Hamilton. With 16 performances on the schedule from Tuesday, February 18th, to Sunday, March 2nd, Hamilton is making its way to the Orpheum Theatre. To coincide with the show’s run here, producer Jeffrey Seller and the Orpheum Theatre Group have announced the Ham4Ham digital lottery, offering 40 tickets for $10 for every performance.
The lottery opened on Friday, February 7th, and will close at noon on Thursday, February 13th, for tickets to performances February 18th to 23rd. Subsequent lotteries will open each Friday and close the following Thursday for the upcoming week’s performances. Winners will be notified Thursday between 1 and 4 p.m. via email and mobile push notification, and winners may purchase up to two tickets.
To enter, download the official Hamilton app (here) via the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. Patrons must be 18 or older and have a valid photo ID. Only one entry per person will be allowed, and repeat entries and disposable email addresses will be discarded. Tickets are nontransferable and void if resold.

The Orpheum will also host a Kids Night on Broadway on Thursday, February 27th, with pre-show interactive activities, photo booth opportunities, and more for the youngest audience members, starting at 6:30 p.m. For that night, if you buy an adult ticket, you can get a free ticket for a child under 18 by calling 901-525-3000, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Availability is limited.)
Hamilton is recommended for ages 10-plus due its strong language.
