Vice President-elect Mike Pence took in the hit Broadway hip-hop musical “Hamilton” last night in New York City.
As you could imagine, he was booed when he entered the theater in the deep blue state.
But it gets worse.
The performers actually took a stance against Pence, as well.
For real.
From BizPac Review:
The vice president-elect was greeted with a mix of cheers and jeers as he entered, and exited, “Hamilton.” And in between, he received a lecture from Brandon Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr in the musical.
“Vice President-elect Pence, we welcome you and we truly thank you for joining us here at ‘Hamilton: An American Musical.’ We really do,” Dixon, who also asked the crowd not to boo Pence, said. “We, sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir. But we truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us. All of us. Thank you.”
Creator of the musical, Lin-Manuel Miranda, tweeted the following after the performance…
"Proud of @HamiltonMusical. Proud of @BrandonVDixon, for leading with love. And proud to remind you that ALL are welcome at the theater." — Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) November 19, 2016
Reactions…
"It wasn’t “boo” that Mike Pence heard at Hamilton. It was “Wah. Wah. Wah.” Keep crying liberal lunatics. You are endlessly entertaining!" — Mark Dice (@MarkDice) November 19, 2016
"Just remembered that the Hamilton audience booed Bibi Netanyahu too, so Pence is in good company." — David Martosko (@dmartosko) November 19, 2016
A lot of people canceled their tickets after what occurred…

Then go, and bring lots of tomatoes.
How do you cancel tickets? I have some for January. I have insurance but i don’t think I Can just change my mind and get my money back. Bought them on ticketmaster.
Aaron Burr was a black dude?
Bingo! Give them every opportunity to expose themselves and their repulsive behavior.
No, generally speaking, to Dynasties. No Clinton Dynasty
(which the Clintons planned), No Bush Dynasty like Jebby
wanted.) I doubt the Trump kids actually want a Trump
Dynasty anyway. They’ve been doing their own thing for a
long time and don’t actually need it.
I am sorry to disagree with you. There used to be that there was a time and place for such bad behavior. The theatre isn’t the time nor place.
This is America and anyone should be able to attend such events unmolested, un-intimidated, and without liberal drama!
The cast was RUDE and ungrateful. The audience broke theatre decorum and frankly I am shocked that this was some sort of spontaneous reaction at a Broadway show.
The queers on Broadway live in the same bubble as the political & Wall Street types and forget that at least half of their customers voted for Trump. Take away half of their income vlia protests and boycotted of their products, services or performances and they will all end up on the street hustling blow-jobsfor beer money.
Stop patronizing liberal businesses and see how quickly they sing a different tune.
Husband was not too impressed with the POC only cast. He said what if they had a play about Fredrick Douglas...played by a white guy. There would be an uproar.
The world has turned, now the white guy, the Christian, are the ones discriminated against. From the POC perspective, we deserve it due to past transgressions, however, we were not the people who transgressed, we are just the ones paying for it.
Deliberately seeking to contract HIV is a subset of the homosexual community known as “bug hunters” or “bug chasers”. It’s as sick as it sounds.

Miller is the best
I am now moving from Best. Election. Ever. to
Best. Transition. Ever.
I look forward to the Inauguration but this is a tasty feast the learning-disabled “progressives” are laying out on the groaning Thanksgiving tables.
And then there’s Christmas! I’m sure there’ll be something under the tree for everybody.
Enjoy!
Please—no more presidential dynasties!
We have over 300 million people in the country, and multigenerational (or spouse to spouse) presidential families are just a bad idea. (Especially in such quick succession!)
We need signs and protesters out in front of this theater pronto.
Block the entrance. Get in their faces. Harass the actors going in and out the back entrance too.
Give them a big fat dose if their own medicine!
“Those who can’t return their tickets, just hand them out to some really ripe homeless folks.”

Great idea.
.
Are we really crying over THAT? Let this go, sheesh. Whiners.
I would like to see people give their already purchased tickets to some of those anarchists and illegal aliens marching in the streets. Let’s see how this bunch of leftist ‘actors’ like a theater full of the THUGS they encourage..I bet the smell would drive everyone else out.
Some folks are standing up for Trump/Pence at the theater.
“Are we really crying over THAT? Let this go, sheesh. Whiners. “
In ANY other time, the actor would have introduced withOUT demands, the new VP of the USA.
WE’ve had ENOUGH! Letting ‘go’ of this kind of incivility is what got us here!
He has the right to free speech of course, but it’s still unprofessional, IMHO.
Someday these morons will learn to stop flapping their gums.
