Cee Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 'Hamilton' Broadway Cast Addresses Mike Pence in Audience: 'Work on Behalf of All of Us'Billboard 1 hour 49 minutes ago Comments Like Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet EmailDuring Friday night's (Nov. 18) curtain call at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, Hamilton's actors addressed the presence of the vice president-elect, who was heavily booed by the audience upon entry."Vice president-elect, I see you walking out but I hope you will hear us.," said Brandon Victor Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr. "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."Dixon also told the audience not to boo Pence and fellow Trump supporters. "We don't have to agree, but we have to live here."With a slew of security stationed outside and handful of ushers bringing him to his seat, the show went on without interruption, but Rory O'Malley subtly addressed his presence during the show "What Comes Next," gesturing toward his seat during the line, "You're all alone."As King George, he stopped the show with his lines "it's harder when it's your call." And then moments later with, "And when people say they hate you ... don't come crawling back to me."Pence watched from the center of the house, with security guards also seated nearby."Everyone's looking for a distraction, and he shows up!" said one ticketholder. "I give the actors credit for pulling it together and keeping the show going." Another added, "He's sitting so close to me: my blood started boiling when I saw him. But I won't let it ruin the show."Because Pence was in the audience, many lines landed quite differently.Pence left the house during intermission and wasn't escorted back to his seat until after intermission ended, during the middle of "What'd I Miss?"George Washington's line "Winning is easy, young man, governing's harder" got notable applause. Another lyric that got applause: Alexander Hamilton's jab about then-vice president, "John Adams doesn't have a real job anyway."A big gasp of the night came when Washington hailed Hamilton over at the end of "Cabinet Battle #2," when Thomas Jefferson notes, "Daddy's calling," as audience members found themselves thinking of Pence's relationship to Donald Trump.Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and the Hamilton production have participated in multiple Democratic fundraisers throughout the presidential election season, and held weekly voter registration drives outside the theater.Pence is known for his anti-gay legislation, which was criticized by several fans and theatergoers as they learned he was attending the show. Both O'Malley, who plays King George, and Javier Munoz, who now plays Hamilton, are openly gay and involved in LGBT advocacy.As governor of Indiana, Pence opposed gay marriage, signing into law a bill that made it legal for business owners to refuse service to LGBT customers, citing religious freedom. He is also known for supporting "conversion therapy." This article was originally published by The Hollywood Reporter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyF0cker Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 When are people in this country going to start working together with their commonalities rather than driving deeper wedges with their discrepancies?

Isn't it time to find some common ground for once?When the GOP decides climate change is real, women don't need old white men to tell them what to do with their body, voter suppression is not a policy, obstruction is not a policy, gay people deserve all that straight people do, stop and frisk is ridiculous, the world isn't ours to rule....among many other things. You're familiar with the people he's named to his cabinet? The GOP has made it clear, for a long time, that "working together" is off the table.

Obstruction sounds like your policy for the next four years.You libs have been ruling America for the last eight years. Obama's pen and phone policy was a real "work together" thing, right? When the shoe is on the other foot, the whining begins. When Obama got elected, the right didn't turn into little babies afraid of their own shadow.

Obstruction isn't theoretically the gops policy, it's been the entirety of it for 8 years. Crying is all they've done for those 8 years. The right has been nothing but babies whimpering about their guns being taken and Obama buying all of the bullets. You're delusional and a hypocrite. Not surprising. GOPers GOP.

GOPing 101: wanting Petraeus to be secretary of defense. Wasn't bitching that the Dems will obstruct - that is expected. The Democrats want to take this nation in the direction of open borders with higher taxes. The Republicans want to lower taxes and regain sovereignty for our nation. We are pulling in opposite directions. While the Democrats were in power and forcing changes with Obama's phone and pen, the Republicans had to obstruct or agree to go down the road in the wrong, according to their views, direction. Now, that the Republicans are in power, the Democrats MUST obstruct in order to stay true to their beliefs - or they are agreeing to go down the road in the wrong direction.We are diametrically opposed in where we thing this country should go. Compromising doesn't work when you are going in opposite directions. Obama was a disaster for this country. I am sure you believe Trump will be a disaster for this country. We survived Obama and we will survive Trump. He is not the Anti-Christ you have made him out to be. Don't you at least like the way he has forced appointees to stay out of the revolving door for five years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
