    See my comment about what it's like at Broadway plays.
    I saw it. Just because someone can do something it doesn't mean they always should. Like I said...it's the cast's right but it's self defeating and it makes them look small.

    The only one who looks small in this situation is Trump, to absolutely no ones surprise. The need to tweet about it and ask for a "safe place".

    What a tool.

    Or he brilliantly got people talking about this rather then his Trump U settlement.
    It seems we have a different idea of what brilliant means.
    Well it is interesting that the Trump U story ended and now all anybody is talking about is Hamilton. Trump lose on the university but wins on Hamilton. The cast inadvertently ruined the news cycle.

    Pre NYC broadway show dinner with significant other: $278
    Uber black from restaurant to Richard Roberts theatre: $81
    2 balcony tickets to see Hamilton on Broadway: $2,500
    Witnessing the Hamilton cast put Vice President elect Pence on blast: PRICELESS!

    Nobody that voted for Trump cares about the university story. Those people are just to damned ignorant to care. I really don't know what he could do to lose their support at this point.

    His whole campaign was starting one dumpster fire after another. That wasn't brilliance. He is not going to stop that pattern now that he's been elected.

    It doesn't make them look small, it makes Pence look small.

    Imagine being a black, gay person whose HIV positive. You Are a hated MINORITY by the VP elect.

    Now imagine that the new VP thinks you need shock therapy.

    You have the microphone and it is a regular night where you make a speech after the show. AND this hateful man is there.

    YOU have the microphone.

    You know the shock therapy accusation is bullshit right? Please tell me you do?

    http://www.snopes.com/mike-pence-supported-gay-conversion-therapy/

    Like I said...again...they have the right to do it but it makes them look small and it's self defeating. It does no damage to Pence in any way no matter what you think of him. If anything some people like Van Zandt who don't support him will actually become sympathetic.

    Stop the presses! A celebrity does not support what Hamilton did. Alert! alert!

    The settlement is no longer in the mainstream liberal media anymore because they can't find a way to spin it that President-elect Trump is a racist, misogynist, xeno, etc.
    The Pence story is in the media because a President-elect has openly called out for an apology. Is this a first time?

    Those that are calling for #boycottHamilton never planned on seeing the show anyway.
    Hilarious.

    Pence supports conversion therapy for gays, which is destructive.

    I would have booed him in a heartbeat. He hates gays. Why did he go to the theatre? I have zero respect for him - plus he scares me to death.

    The Hamilton boycott is as stupid as boycotting Starbucks by buying their product and putting "Trump" on the cup. Hamilton is sold out until next fall, I think.

    And I might have read the current tickets are about $700 each on StubHub. (And it is an AMAZING show, btw.) There's a great line in it where Lafayette and Hamilton say, "Immigrants, we get the job done." It gets huge applause and apparently the applause has been growing and growing and growing - I'm sure with Pence in the audience people were cheering at that line last night.

    Why do you feel it's destructive?

    Why is that hilarious, other than the fact that you're looking for something to be snarky about. Is there a minimum amount of time you need to have heard of someone before you can disagree with them?

    Yup.

    Interesting that there is no "straight conversion therapy".

    My god, when will it dawn upon people to just let others live their lives in peace?
