Mike Pence Gets "Boo'd" at HAMILTON Tonight — Page 3

So happy about this speech, so professional, so honest and so true. I really hope tonight had a impact on Pence, prob not tho. I really hope he realizes that he just witness not only a gay, HIV positive in a total role in a huge musical but also a Latino, and a cast of many other different ethnicities. It was nice to see the wings on stage too. but i have a question, Why the hell did Pence see Hamilton?!?!

No. He should be honored to be in front of the people. Not the other way around. That's the case for all politicians.

Like honestly. Half of America is very concerned about the Trump administration. Trump is appointing white nationalists like Steve Bannon as key positions for goodness sake,n I appreciate Hamilton used it's voice to speak out. The crowd may have done too much perhaps but I don't blame them. And The cast did nothing wrong.

Seems really appropriate that like any VIP in NYC he'd see Hamilton. Haven't they all (except Trump).

I know what you are getting at, but it doesn't need to be that deep (his motivation).

And hey, maybe the art will have some power to reach in a way other things haven't....

Ok...

On a technical side, I'm wondering about this -- was it a relatively last-minute move to make him look like a nice guy who supports the arts? Or did he buy these tickets months ago and was hoping he'd have not much to do this fall so he may as well see a show?

"

The Hollywood Reporter quotes Seller as saying they received the request from Pence's people that afternoon. I laughed at the "rather than rejecting the request..." - is that THR shade, or Seller's?



"The production received Pence's request to attend the night's performance earlier that afternoon, producer Jeffrey Seller told The Hollywood Reporter after the show. Rather than rejecting his request, the show — which has participated in multiple Democratic fundraisers throughout the presidential election season and held weekly voter registration drives outside the theater — opted for the unique curtain call."

lol so it was publicity stunt on Pence's part. He should have expected the response. They were right in going what they did.

Speaking of Indiana (see above), I think it would be just nifty if Mike Pence and Dan Quayle took a house on Lake Wawasee together. They could take turns learning how to spell "potato".

Well, Indiana was always Klan Kountry. You'll see more Confederate flag bumper stickers there than ever seen in Dixie.

The show has nothing to do with it. He only went to see it out of ego, he now sees himself as a statesman in the same league as the characters onstage. The man is scum.

I think it's highly hypocritical considering Alexander Hamilton invented the Electoral College that got Trump the presidency....while liberals keep complaining about the popular vote. I also think it's entirely unprofessional to address an audience member, a man who will be Vice President for the next 4 years. I think it's great he went to see Hamilton, although I'm sure he will never see a Broadway show again if this is the reaction. It's also disrespectful to anyone who voted for Trump/Pence in the audience. They are alienating their ticket holder and making them feel not wanted just because of their beliefs differ from what I guess is an entirely liberal cast and crew.

Free speech, they didn't say anything disrespectful just told him to look out for ALL Americans. If that message offends people thank i don't know what to say to them. The crowd is the one that booed not the cast. Not the casts fault the audience booed.





If you follow Lin on twitter you see young people tweeting him scared of the election results. No way they were going to host Mike Pence, give him VIP tickets and not say anything.

Considering he asked them for tickets like 8 hours before the show began and they willingly gave them to him, when they didn't have to, he should be grateful.

Hamilton 'invented' the electoral college to keep people like Trump who are unqualified for the job out. Hamilton did not believe that those who aren't thoroughly educated on politics should have much of a say. The idea was that if the people elected an idiot then the states could rule against it. That was an effective method 200 years ago when the country and states worked very differently.
