As the Broadway hit “Hamilton” arrives in the Twin Cities for the first time since 2018, so too do the musical’s lottery-based $10 tickets — though only 40 are available for each performance.

The show, which retells America’s founding through hip-hop and R&B tunes, runs April 4 through May 6, 2023, at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Minneapolis.

Here’s how the lottery works: To score $10 tickets, you’ll first need the official Hamilton app in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, or at hamiltonmusical.com/app.

For shows the week of April 4–9, the lottery opens at 10 a.m. this Friday, March 24, and closes at noon on Thursday, March 30. You’ll get a notification from the app between 1 and 4 p.m. on Thursday to let you know whether you’ve won the chance to buy tickets.

Lottery winners are allowed to purchase up to two tickets, and have two hours to do so from the time they receive the notification. Tickets can be picked up in-person only, at the will call booth, starting two hours before the performance begins. Resold lottery tickets will be voided.

For each subsequent week “Hamilton” is in town, the process is the same: The lottery opens in the app at 10 a.m. on Friday and closes at noon the next Thursday, with winners notified that afternoon.

“Hamilton” has raffled off a limited number of cheap tickets at most of its shows, including during its original Broadway run and in Minneapolis in 2018. When “Hamilton” premiered on Broadway in 2015, it won the top prize at the Tony Awards and a Pulitzer Prize for drama.

Regular-price tickets ($119–$349) for Minneapolis showtimes are still available online via Hennepin Theatre Trust and in person at the State Theater: 805 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis. Performances take place at the Orpheum Theatre: 910 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis.
