If you’ve wanted to see the smash hit Hamilton but were continually shut out, here’s your chance.

A digital lottery for Hamilton tickets begins today at 10 a.m. via the Hamilton app and runs through Jan 30 for performances from  Feb. 4-9 at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre. Subsequent digital lotteries will begin each Friday and close the following Thursday.

40 tickets are available for each performance at only $10 apiece. Winners may purchase up to two tickets.

The play, by Lin-Manuel Miranda, has become one of the most popular musicals of all time, with tickets often selling out within minutes. It is about Alexander Hamilton, a founding father of the United States and the first secretary of the treasury under President George Washington. (Schoolkids may be most familiar with Hamilton as the man killed by rival Aaron Burr in a duel in 1804). The energetic story is told through music and modern dance.

The play is described as “a revolutionary story of passion, unstoppable ambition, and the dawn of a new nation. Hamilton is the epic saga that follows the rise of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton as he fights for honor, love, and a legacy that would shape the course of a nation.”
