Lin-Manuel Miranda will appear at the United Palace in Washington Heights on Sunday, September 7 to kick off a sing-along screening of the filmed 2016 Hamilton with on-screen lyrics. The event closes HamilTEN, the musical's 10th-anniversary year-long celebration. A 90-minute documentary, Hamilton's America, will screen at 1 pm after doors open at noon, followed by the sing-along starting at 2:45 pm with a 10-minute intermission before Act II. Tickets are free and will be released online Tuesday, September 2 at 10 am, with a standby line available. A $65 Movies at the Palace membership guarantees two seats if purchased by August 31.
The event marks the grand finale of "HamilTEN," a year-long celebration of the Broadway juggernaut's 10th anniversary. And yes, this isn't just any film screening. It's the 2016 filmed version of projected in full, with lyrics on screen so the entire audience can belt out "My Shot" and "The Schuyler Sisters" together. Consider it the karaoke night to end all karaoke nights.
But before the main feature, attendees will get a bonus: a screening of Hamilton's America , the 90-minute documentary that offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Miranda and his collaborators turned Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton into a cultural phenomenon. Doors open at noon, the doc starts at 1 pm sharp, and then it's on to the big sing-along event at 2:45 pm. Expect a 10-minute intermission to give your vocal cords a rest before charging into Act II.
Here's the kicker: Tickets are free. They'll be released online starting Tuesday, September 2, at 10 am, and if past United Palace events are any indication, they'll vanish faster than you can say "Alexander Hamilton." If you can't snag a spot, don't despair: The venue will run a standby line on Wadsworth Avenue at 176th Street, and empty seats will be filled just before showtime.
