But of course, in a classical work of drama, you could always hope for deus ex machina.
The producers should issue an apology for not controlling the audience behavior and for using their actors to make a political statement in the way that they did which was both unfair and cowardly.

Do you live in a place where if you go to the local movie theater and create a ruckus they will not ask you to either pipe down or leave?

Pretty much. Republicans be like...




Just watching Lefties on TV enrage themselves for the sake of fighting themselves.



That's alright, I'll keep living in my ignorant, bigoted, deplorable, crime free town.

The show was stopped at a couple of places....by the audience. There was a prolonged standing ovation at the line "Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)".

It is unknown if Pence understood the message.

It was rude. Frequently, VIPS are invited backstage to see the cast.

How much better and more civilized would that have been, to do that and then have a respectful convo with Pence. They could have taken pics, tweeted it, facebooked it, whatever.

No controversy. Message delivered/received.

It was spectacularly rude, it was totally inappropriate and it was highly offensive, regardless of what anyone says to try to shift responsibility away from these intolerable pricks.

Like Congressman Joe Wilson calling Obama a liar during his speech? The cast did not heckle him, but others have heckled Obama and that was rude. Ted Cruz called Mitch McConnell a liar on the Senate floor - that was rude. 32 years ago, Ronald Reagan was called a liar when he paused between sentences during a campaign speech at the University of Portland - that was rude. Trump called Ted Cruz a liar and he has called many of his opponents liars - that is rude.

Giving a very civil speech about diversity is NOT rude.

I bet they were legal immigrants though. Though in NYC, I'm thinking they probably clapped louder for the illegal one's.

Yes that does fit the right... "these intolerable pricks." That is how Trump/Pence got elected and they will have to deal with the fallout..

And it goes on for four years...

You reap what you sow.

I agree, it was inappropriate and disrespectful for people to openly voice their political concerns during a mans family outing. Then again, that's what happens when you enter a room full of bitter liberals.

Yes, the producer should have gotten the can of Producer's Mace they keep in their office for just such an occasion. And if that didn't do the trick, they should have released that paralyzing gas into the audience through the theater ventilation system. That would have shown them! The producer should be waterboarded for not using the arsenal he had at his disposal.
