Leftist MSM have polluted the credibility "well" for good.

Esp after that Donna Brazille revelation.... Any reports of "Trump-instigated" stuff will AUTOMATICALLY be assumed SOROS/DNC back-activity, now.

These people..... they burned ALL their bridges.

Agree. I think launching a few overripe vegetables at them might be more effective. And a time-honored tradition in the theater.

Either way, if the cast was in tears...that’s a good thing.

What goes around comes around. And we’re coming around.

I’m thrilled that anyone is fighting back at this point. For too long, we just took their crap and said nothing.

The high point was the Bush 43 administration. Never once did they challenge the Democrat propaganda. And...that propaganda became recognized as “truth” as a result.

this was considerably more tame than blocking a highway during morning rush hour.

I hope this continues.

They need to know what it’s like to live among people somwhat like them, then maybe they will learn.

If the d-bag actors choose to break the 4th wall, even after a performance, they invite reaction from the audience.

Wish Pence had strode to the stage, taken the microphone, and told the crowd Trump and he will be the president & VP for the nation, and will make good on the promises they made during the campaign. Hand the mic back and walk off. SS would have gone crazy, though, plus Pence had his daughter & cousins with him.

The cast in tears?

Hey! They're **actors**!

This disrupter could easily have been a paid **actor**, as well.

Agreed. It is awful what they did to Pence on Friday.

“The left is saying that plays are perfectly fine places to engage in political discourse in front of paying customers now. Frankly neither side should be doing this, but the left wants to play at the play, then all the world is now a stage!”

Agreed, well said.

In other news, Hamilton had it’s first truly diverse performance last night. So that’s nice.

Its a good thing. They need to know that starting things will ruin their own nest.
I couldn’t be more pleased. This Hamilton bunch is very self righteous while being rude and racially discriminating.

Like seeing them thrown off their game.

You are right about “Breaking Down The 4th Wall”.

I would be unhappy even if someone did a Pro-Trump lecture at a Broadway Show that I paid a huge amount of money to attend.

A client of mine who loved Streisand paid a huge amount of money to see her in Florida, where she interrupted her concert with a 30 minute rant against Bush. My friend yelled out “Shut Up and SING!” LOL!

The ONLY time this is “acceptable” is when the comic lead in a Gilbert & Sullivan opera adds a verse to tweak current events during his “patter song”. And even THAT has to be quick, pithy, relevant, and innocent of any malice towards the audience.

I am a performing artist, so this is coming from the heart!

It was Chicago so a different cast that had nothing to do with Pence. And the audience paid good money to see the play. I would have been mad if I paid to see it and this guy interrupted it.

The audience members who watched the show with Pence should’ve considered the consequemces of their booing him.

Because of them, now all future audiences will have to prepare for the reaction.

It’s good these future audiences will be so inconvenienced: the depressed attendance will kill the Hamilton franchise.

Well, anyone who would pay good time and money to see a hip hop version of the American Revolution deserves whatever happens at these shows.

I guess maybe Trump supporters could sneak in and hold up signs that say, “Not my Hamilton!” or whatever else the Soros crowds are chanting about Trump.
Expensive, though.

When the left desires to make every aspect of life political, they will find they don’t always control the narrative.
