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…

Stubhub has plenty of tickets available.
Jesters and minstrels lecturing the king ...
Yep, boycott the show. Idiot actors need to be severely punished. Nobody gives a dam about their political leaning. Do your job and STFU.
Hopefully they will force this show to close, and hire a new cast before re-opening.
A black man playing the white Aaron Burr.
Why didn’t they just go all in and have a now female lesbian black transvestite play Aaron Burr. Wouldn’t be any less accurate.
Liberals are insane.
If this guy is supposed to be Aaron Burr, then I’m Flip Wilson.
Good. The only thing they'll understand is getting hit at the box office. Of course, then they'll start complaining that their 1st Amandment tights are being violated.
Who will protect us from those you protect? What American values are you referring to? Who is 'us'?
What is it about progressives trying their best to take out the good guys in theaters?
Good. Hope it closes in less than a week. I don’t care if these jerk actors ever work again.
That’s easy. Lena Dunham
If tickets can’t be returned to Ticketmaster, they could be given to homeless people off the street. Might make for an interesting crowd.
Didn’t I read that the Ad in question was a hoax?
No need to cancel your trip.
If all true Conservatives stay away from events such as this, denying these swamp rats their money then perhaps they'll dry up and blow away.
President Trump shouldn't bother about trying to bring us together with worthless rabble such as this. We have nothing in common with them and never will.
Add Don Jr and Eric And make it an even 32.
You win
Post of the thread
Hopefully you will never tire of winning!!!
Freedom of speech is a two way deal. The performers spoke out and the ticket holders canceled.
