NY Post columnist Oli Coleman, on the Page Six gossip page, has a story Benjamin Netanyahu booed by audience at ‘Hamilton’ (emphasis added):
There was a revolutionary spirit both on the stage and in the audience at “Hamilton” on Saturday night.Page Six is told that some in the crowd booed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he took his seat at the Broadway smash.“The show started late because of his arrival — the heightened security slowed down seating,” said a theatergoer. “But he still entered and sat down before the lights went down, so everyone was focused on him.
