Ironic: Trump donor = James Nederlander = Hamilton in Nederlander theater

Believe I double checked and found it in more than one place online (trying to sort out if this is fake news or genuine). If this is false - please delete this thread.

James Nederlander donated $30,000 to Trump Victory campaign.

Talk about ironic that Hamilton is in a Nederlander theater.

Perhaps a strong message from the theater community needs to be brought to the attention of Mr James Nederlander?

For Christ's sake.

He also donated to Hillary for America, Cory Booker, Barbara Boxer, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and many others.

So, basically, this means nothing.

Also, I think you're conflating your Jameses. James L Nederlander, President of the Nederlander Organization, has donated big money to only Republican presidential candidates, and a few nominal donations to Democratic NY senators.

This is something the theater community needs to be talking about more: the fact that one of the major theater owners donated to a campaign that's so anathema to everything Broadway is about. It's disgusting.

You can search for their names in the URL I pasted above.

Their results are more encouraging than the Nederlanders'.

I think we should all grab our pitchforks and run him out of town.... This is America, what the hell is he thinking using his own money to make a choice. The audacity astounds me

I will never see another show in a Neederlander theatre again!

@z5 I disagree that this is ignorance or being a moron. It is more so a surprising revelation that the employer of many in the Broadway community who are currently frightened and scared are in such a state due to the support of their employer endorsing someone to a prominent position that might do them harm. Additionally, it is also not ignorant if patrons are now educated and decide that they do not want to patronize someone who isn't in agreement with their beliefs. I did not say "boycott" - I just brought it up as a "wow...this is unfortunate and sad".

"Found." Ha! Like he hasn't been around.

No one's going to do any harm! How funny that the famous liberal love and tolerance doesn't include people who don't agree with them.

Kinky Boy said: "I agree adamgreer. It actually makes me not want to go to a Nederlander theatre anymore. Anyone know who Jordan Roth was supporting? Or the Shuberts?



"

Jordan

was most definitely pro Hillary. The Jujamcyns hosted a Hillary fundraiser.

To those of you who want to punish and blacklist someone because of a donation to a presidential candidate you don't agree with, one day you will realize that you are the liberal equivalent to the frightening people on the extreme right.

I'm still hoping I wake up from this horrible dream...
