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…

Maybe you should read just a little more, and watch the actual ad which is not a hoax that was provided near the bottom of linked article.
He sounds like he's a member of a sub group of the LGBLTXYZ movement that is sometimes called "Bug Chaser" they are more mentally ill than the rest.
The money I save for an unpurchased ticket for “Hamilton” can be well spent on ammo, or toward the purchase of a nice firearm.
Snopes makes no claim that this ad is a hoax only that it doesn't mention Trump supporters or Trump specifically, but why don't you watch it and see what you think.
Well, there you go.
I assume you can walk onto their Ships without “documentation” now.
No disagree, good points.
Good to hear. Apparently the producer originally put out casting call for non whites. This show will hopefully close in the next few months instead of expanding to other cities as they hoped.
I wish people would stop posting about Trumps kids which are not NBC’s running for Pres some day.
The only NBC (2 parents citizens of USA) of Trumps kids is Tiffany.
Very good!
court jesters
I don’t belive both parents must be natural born citizens for the child to be eligibleto run for President.

Yes. St. Jude’s is a great cause.
My nephew died of cancer at ten years old.
I think we need to send Trump/Pence a pair of waders. And a big shovel. Because on Jan 20, their gonna be stepping into a big heaping pile of crap.
That stalls haven’t been mucked out in a couple of decades.
I’ve been sending money to St. Jude’s for many, many years. I just have a hard time with children who have cancer. They shouldn’t have to go through that.
And the tickets must have cost a fortune.
Entertainers need to realize that people pay to see them entertain, not opine on politics. Which will only alienate half of their audience.
I’ve said this before. Michael Jordan never took a political stand. He said, both Republicans and Democrats buy shoes.
LOL!!!
I believe he did come up with the idea of the electoral college.
Pure genius.
Exactly!
