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…

If I had tickets, I would ask for a refund. I wish several people had left when Pence did.
It’s the most heartbreaking thing.
Children do nothing to deserve that. They don’t smoke, drink, whatever.
My nephew was misdiagnosed. They thought he had some sort of hormonal imbalance. But he actually had a massive tumor on his adrenal glands. By the time they realized what it was, it was too late.
God bless you for donating to St. Jude’s. It’s a great cause.
Nope, sell them to the useless idiots.
So that the tickets stay in the echo chamber, why abuse the homeless?
He figured to settle his political disputes with violence, and that didn’t turn out well for him. Guess one needs to ask Burr how that turned out.
