‘In addition to incorporating rap, hip-hop, R&B, and pop into the Tony-award winning score, by pretending our founding fathers weren’t white, Hamilton embraces a revisionist version of ethnic and racial history.’

Why would ANYONE attend such a moronic event, let alone a Vice President elect?

I heard the condescending bleat. It was presumptuously offensive in my opinion.

The probably truth of the matter is that NONE of the cast actually had any idea about Pence’s history, thoughts or record. They were lashing out emotionally and delivering the same old victim bullshit they always do when they don’t get their way.

If I go to a steakhouse and order a meal I don’t want to have a waiter explain to me the environmental impacts of cattle farming. Just bring me my damn food!

I wonder how many people in the production even voted?

The cast of Hamilton needs to go to a safe space get some crayons, coloring books, and play doh and suck on a pacifier like the did at some Ivy League schools.

Boycott Hamilton.

I've been involved in many theatrical productions. And by virtue of this one crass and immature act the Hamilton cast blew it as professionals. Their sole mission was to perform to the very best of their abilities for their audience - each of whom had seats procured at UNCONSCIONABLE cost - and to do so without prejudice or undue regard. At MOST the host of the evening might have remarked before the show that they were being graced with the presence of the Vice-President of the United States-elect. But even that might be too much.

This has nothing to do with politics and EVERYTHING to do with theatrical polity, decorum, and protocol. And the Hamilton cast apparently knows nothing about any of that.

This is financial suicide for the traveling show. They will be limited to conclaves of blue blue zones.

One of the myriad reasons I utterly detest “progressives.”

When I say that Marxism is based on envy, I mean that the glorious revolution of the proletariat...was really a promise to put a final end to all the conditions that make for envy." (Joseph Epstein, author and former editor of The American Scholar, from Truths about Socialism, Coral Ridge Ministries, p. 66)

It's green eyed envy that compels these sniveling, weak-willed, narcissists to raze the Founders down to where they, the snivelers, can climb atop them and blow their horns and beat their drums in pseudo-triumph. "Look at us," proclaim chest-beating snivelers, "we are superior to the Founders and Mike Pence!."

1) Isn’t the whole “Hamilton” production a massive pile of cultural appropriation? Is that only a problem when “whites” do the appropriating?
2) What sort of government would “non-whites” of the period have created?

Hamilton, The Musical “has no clothes”

having looked up the play and criticism of its lack of historical accuracy, it would appear this is just an issue of hype rather than actual quality of play.

IOW political correctness to force sales.

When my parents spent the bulk of their post-WWII honeymoon in NYC, theater tickets were priced at 4.40, 6.60, and 8.80. Even factoring the 2000 percent inflation since then, the face prices for Hamilton tickets are exorbitant; scalper prices are worse.

Solution: Don’t go to plays or movies, download Netflix, subscribe to Sirius XM, or watch TV.

As gauche as it is to single out an audience member for a personal lecture, I support their right to to so. They’re selling a product, just like the NFL is. If people don’t like what they’re doing, they can decline to support it. Let the free market rule.

Let’s have a play that uses whites to play the parts of Malcom X and MLK. Have them sing and dance, maybe do a little jig.

The crybaby from the cast was on CBS this morning saying all they did was have a conversation with Pence. Liberals think a conversation occurs when they lecture and then run away.
