Should have thought about manners and decency before you guys elected the nastiest person in US Presidential history. You don't get to play that card anymore.

The audience made a big deal about Pence being there, along with his hoard of Secret Service hogging $1000 seats. It's their art and their theatre. They have every right to criticize a prominent public figure who shows them great concern.

Maybe if you guys demonstrated some intelligence and rational thinking, and didn't ignore facts or evidence, we wouldn't act like we know more than you.

You guys embrace ignorance, but then whine when people call you out on it. Seems silly.

Then don't go to any Broadway productions or movies, problem solved

Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the statement the cast recited BEFORE the show, so your premise is false.

Manners? With Trump as President elect you want to talk about manners? Remember him mocking the disabled man, or when he said Megyn Kelly had "blood coming out of her whatever" It takes a lot of nerve to wag your finger at people being rude when you voted for Trump, you got the rudest man to ever be elected to the Presidency, you own it, deal with it.

These particular Broadway types are highly paid "servants" running a hugely successful business and they have a First Amendment right to free speech. They can say whatever the hell they want to whoever the hell they want and Trump and Pence just have to live with it.

They were wrong period . I often go to Broadway plays and if I were in audience I demand my money back . Who do they think they are ? People pay good money to see them perform not give their opinions. They were disrespectful to VPE Pense and his family .


I hope they lose sales .

Ridiculous. Hillary called half of American deplorable. Both sides of the aisle took this election into the gutter. Not that it hasn't been there before in previous elections.

That doesn't mean that the rest of us have to follow them. The campaign is over.

Your statement that Secret Service were hogging seats is also ridiculous. The Pres and VP cant go out in public without protection regardless of party.

Hillary went to this play, do you really think she didn't have SS protection "hogging" seats?

You don't have a right in the minds of most Americans to accost/criticize political figures when they are on their own time. They deserve down time with their families, just like all the rest of us.

To think otherwise, is uncharitable, rude, and indicative of people who were raised by wolves.
