Booed on Broadway, Pence Gets Lesson in 'American Values' from Hamilton Cast

Vice President-elect Mike Pence received a chilly reception when he attended a performance of the hit Broadway musical “Hamilton” on Friday, and perhaps—the diverse cast hopes—a lesson in true “American values.”

Upon arriving at the Richard Rodgers Theater, Pence—a staunch Christian conservative, fierce opponent of LGBTQ and women’s rights, and key member of the incoming Donald Trump administration—was loudly jeered by the audience of the show, which portrays a pivotal time in American history through hip hop and a highly-diverse cast.

Videos posted to social media show some audience members cheering him, before the boos took over.

“Pence walked down the aisle towards his seat and waved briefly as people in the theater clearly began to realize who he was. Then the boos began,” the Guardian reported. “The show was occasionally disrupted by more loud booing at Pence.”

As Pence was about the duck out at the end of the show, Brandon Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr, called him back saying, “I see you walking out, but I hope you will hear us, just a few moments.”

After welcoming Pence and thanking him for joining the audience, Dixon delivered a statement on behalf of the production.
