We’re not supposed to turn theater into political theater, right? RIGHT?

Trump Supporter Shouts Profanities And Interrupts HAMILTON In Chicago:

As reported by BroadwayWorld, Friday night Vice President-Elect Mike Pence attended a performance of Hamilton on Broadway, where he was met with disdain from audience members. Following the curtain call, the cast of the production addressed Pence directly via a speech made by cast member Brandon Victor Dixon. Despite the fact that the speech was a call for unity and representation, Donald Trump has condemned the cast on Twitter, accusing them of “harassing” Pence, and demanding an apology.

Now, BroadwayWorld has learned that a Trump supporter interrupted the Saturday evening performance of Hamilton in Chicago. An audience member seated in the balcony allegedly shouted “We won! You Lost! Get over it! F*ck you!” during the number “Dear Theodosia.”

One Twitter user who attended the show alleges that the audience member also shouted profanities and had an altercation with security before being removed from the auditorium.

One Facebook user wrote “At the end, the performers were crying… so was I. They didn’t break characters once. They still sang their hearts out.”

My feeling at this point in time: YOU STARTED IT.

It is always a hoot to see the other side have to taste their own medicine. However, using the “F-word” shows your lack of vocabulary, ignorance and crudeness which doesn’t help the other side see your argument. I’m all for this type of heckling, the cast of Hamilton has earned it. But please, keep it classy.

Isn’t “Hamilton” a bit of cultural appropriation? Black actors playing white, slave owning men? Do they even know the history?
