Hamilton made a mistake. Audiences shouldn't have to worry about being blindsided like that. Theater should be sanctuary for Art to speak.

Lin-Manuel is a genius. He has created the greatest play since West Side Story. He is also a role model. This sets a terrible precedent>

Hillary was boo'd at @HamiltonMusical during primaries, Lincoln was killed at the theater, Pence was asked to be fair. I say he got off easy pic.twitter.com/DyRDpfTp7O

For anyone that doesn't know Stevie Van Zandt is a member of the E Street Band. Also, Lin-Manuel Miranda hasn't been in Hamilton since July 9th and was therefore not on stage last night...
