Everyone within semi-reasonable driving distance of Central Indiana has waited almost a year to find out when they can buy tickets to the musical "Hamilton." Now Broadway in Indianapolis has revealed the when and where of the first time the bigger-than-mega-hit will come to the Circle City.

What is 'Hamilton' about?

The musical centers on scrappy statesman Alexander Hamilton's path from a destitute orphan to the first secretary of the treasury and an author of the Federalist Papers. It makes main characters out of the most important people who revolved around his life, including wife Eliza Schuyler; her sister, Angelica Schuyler, who intellectually challenged Hamilton; George Washington; and Aaron Burr, who eventually killed Hamilton in a duel.

Composer and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the book, lyrics and music after reading Ron Chernow's celebrated biography of the founding father. It has broken new ground on Broadway by casting minority actors in the major roles, thereby highlighting America's diversity and immigrants' challenges, and setting the lyrics to sung-through hip-hop and R&B score.

Here's what you need to know about Indianapolis' show.

When and where is 'Hamilton'?

It runs from Dec. 10-29 at Old National Centre, 502 N. New Jersey St.

How much are tickets, and when can I buy them?

You can only obtain a pass to "Hamilton" at this point if you purchase season tickets. Depending on the seats you choose, those run $236 to $744 for all six shows. You can buy them starting Jan. 24.

Broadway in Indianapolis will continue to sell season tickets to new subscribers until they’ve reached their capacity for new subscriptions. Then they’ll wait-list people who want to be new subscribers and see which previous season subscribers don’t renew.

What if I only want single tickets?

Then you'll have to wait. Single tickets for an individual show won't go on sale until four to six weeks before it opens.

Also noteworthy: Group reservations of 10 or more people aren't available for "Hamilton." For the other season shows, they go on sale at the same time as single tickets.

So what other shows are this season?

With a season pass, you'll also see "Fiddler on the Roof," "Come from Away," The Play that Goes Wrong," "Cats" and "Anastasia." Find out more information about these shows here.
