Regarding Hamilton: What would Saul Alinsky do? He probably would not suggest boycotting the show. He would likely propose something he would find far more entertaining.
First, a little background:
In 1964, Saul Alinsky arrived in Rochester, New York to organize the black ghetto against the establishment -- the city government and the city's major employer, Eastman Kodak. Riots had recently occurred because among other things, blacks who had migrated from the south during the first part of the century were limited to 1.] menial jobs at Kodak and 2.] confined to living in a ten block-square area of the city with decrepit, substandard turn of the century housing. After riots erupted that summer, realizing that riots are actually counterproductive for the community, Alinsky was invited to counsel the black community on how to actually win the rights that these good people sought.
Snip
[In order to hit the establishment where it lives,] I suggested that we might buy 100 seats for one of Rochester's symphony concerts. We would select a concert in which the music would be relatively quiet. The hundred blacks who would be given the tickets would first be treated to a three-hour pre-concert dinner in the community, in which they would be fed nothing but baked beans, and lots of them; then the people would go to the symphony hall -- with obvious consequences. Imagine the scene when the action began! The concert would be over before the first movement! (If this be a Freudian slip--so be it!).
Applying Alinsky to Hamilton
For those who hold expensive seats for a future performance at the Richard Rogers Theatre, Alinsky would probably suggest that rather than selling your tickets or being a no-show, consider an alternative:

The point is that this would place the theatre, the cast, the production company and the audience in a very uncomfortable situation.
Hamilton is completely sold out way, way in advance.
LOL....passive resistance.
He who farts in church must sit in pew.
LOL. Mass-hot-boxing.
Suggestion: beans + chick peas + broccoli + hardboiled eggs + sauerkraut. WMD-time, LOL.
And the tickets are expensive. Hundreds of dollars each.
I’d suggest people go to the show and when othets clap they boo very load.

My recipe is kimchi, dried apricots and apple cider :)
I’d rather just see the actor Dixon get more and more exposure for his repeated, offensely racist and sexist tweets.
Brutally offensive to white women, who are the show’s main purchasers. (As they are for most Broadway shows.)
Wouldn’t work in the Hamilton situation. The male actors being gay, flatulent odors are not offensive and would probably be a turn-on. :/
Sounds like Dixon is a sexual predator.
Pray America woke
What is the proper lead time for such um activities? From what I have read in the past it usually takes 20 or so hours for food to um complete its journey through us. I have no idea for other ahem emissions but I don’t think you can eat some beans and expect instantaneous tooting. Of course everyone’s mileage varies.
Scalpers descended upon it some time back and bought out all the shows. Prices were falling even before the Pence controversy.
kimchi, greasy meats and sauerkraut - within 90 minutes. I know of what I speak! :-P
Ok thanks for that vital info! :)
Add a couple of brewer’s yeast tablets to the mix.
