UPDATE (11:00am): President Elect Trump has denounced the cast of Hamilton.
The Theater must always be a safe and special place.The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!

Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing.This should not happen!

UPDATE (11:07pm): The cast of Hamilton read a graceless statement at the end of the show to their captive audience member, who was gracious enough to hear them out without challenging them to a duel.
And he’s in the NRA, too, so guess they got lucky there.

‘Hamilton’ is meant to be a show for all Americans. It stars a patient Vice-President and the ultimate Wall Street banker and Republican.
But tonight it was debased by liberals booing the Vice-President Elect, Mike Pence.
Mike Pence booed at Hamilton is exactly the type of content I come to Twitter for. pic.twitter.com/EK0pXvPxWA

The crowd booed and cheered as Pence entered:
Unreal scene here – Mike Pence walks in and there's a massive mix of cheers and boos. pic.twitter.com/GVZ5L67mA3

and, according to reports, gave the King George character a 3 minute ovation as the actor reportedly glared at Pence and sang “You’re on your own” right at him – a line from “You’ll Be Back” (meaning America).
There was a full 3 minute standing ovation @HamiltonMusical when the King sang "On Your Own" directly at Mike Pence. This is catharsis.

One problem. In that song, mad King George, the snob, is telling working-class America they will never make it without the Brits.
If he’s singing “You’re on your own” to Mike Pence, it means he sees the Vice-President Elect – wait for it — [pun intended] – as America.
Does the crowd know how it turns out? America makes it. And is awesome. He becomes the "mad king who lost America." So, I don't get it. https://t.co/29pmbak92w

Republicans one, liberal luvvies ruining a man’s night out at the theater, zero.
At least this Vice President won’t shoot the man dead just because he’s offended. We hope.
Pence getting booed at Hamilton bums me out. Whatever you think of him. He’s trying to engage. Could get ideas from far worse places. https://t.co/gn7j25Nuy7

Let’s pray the Richard Rogers Theater becomes the Room Where This Shit Doesn’t Happen.
One brave person did ask the really important question though:
BUT HOW'D PENCE GET HAMILTON TIX
