#hamventures

well i didn’t see the show so i made my family get me there at like. 8:30 (a half hour after the evening show began) and we were first in line then! but other families didn’t start showing up until like, 9:30-ish? so you can get there then and you should be good. a lot of people say 15 minutes before the show lets out but then you won’t be at the very front of the barricades. it gets really crowded really fast (once the show lets out) so be aware of that! people were trying to push forward to get to the front so you have to form a barrier with the people in your row lmao

so anyway onto what really happens. they set up the barricades around 10:30, and they’ll tell you where you need to go and all that. the cast began coming out around 11-11:15, with the ensemble members first then the main cast. we were there until right about midnight meeting them all! they go down the entire front line and will sign anything that they see that’s hamilton related including $10 bills (and lin draws his lil beard on hamilton’s face!!). they’re also all pretty willing to take selfies, you just have to be quick as to not hold up the line! definitely have your camera out and ready so that they can just lean over to get into the picture.

leslie: - his smile - just leslie overall ngl - he literally smiled the entire time and was so grateful - he cleared my skin tbh

lin: - his lil grin when he came out - me, taking a video for snapchat: “guys, look!! it’s lin!!” lin, at me: “ah, making a movie! *tiny smile*” - “you’re too many deep to take selfies with all of you, put please, snap away!” (he also sounded like he felt really bad for not being able to take pictures with everyone) - lin, using the person next to me to sign things: “im sorry for leaning on your head, your hair is lovely!” - our selfie didn’t take the first time but we was willing to re-take it - HE LAUGHED AND I HAD A PERFECT VIEW OF HOW HE LAUGHS ITS V PURE
