https://twitter.com/TheStagmaniaAt #Hamilton. Mike Pence is here and the entire theater just booed him.
During "You'll Be Back (Reprise)" they had to keep pausing the song while people jeered Pence on every line.
"When your people say they hate you..." Fully stopped the song for a minute while people lost their shit. Never seen anything like it.
And we wrapped with the cast directly addressing Pence, telling him why we're scared and asking him to do right by us all.
Hamilton cast has a message for Mike Pence. https://twitter.com/TheStagmania/status/799827973578883072

Pity the cast didn't quickly add a song about Hamilton's view of the Electoral College:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalist_No._68
[div class = "excerpt"]
"In justifying the use of the Electoral College, Hamilton focuses on a few arguments dealing with the use of the college instead of direct election. First, in explaining the role of the general populace in the election of the president, Hamilton argues that the, "sense of the people", through the election of the electors to the college, should be a part of the process. The final say, however, lies with the electors, who Hamilton notes are,
"Men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice."
Therefore, the direct election of the president is left up to those who have been selected by the voters to become the electors. This indirect election is justified by Hamilton because while a republic is still served, the system allows for only a certain type of person to be elected president, preventing individuals who are unfit for a variety of reasons to be in the position of chief executive of the country.
This is reflected in his later fears about the types of people who could potentially become president. He worries that corrupted individuals could, particularly those who are either more directly associated with a foreign state, or individuals who do not have the capacity to run the country. The former is covered by Article II, Section 1, v of the United States Constitution, while the latter is covered by Hamilton in Federalist 68, where he notes that the person who will become president will have to be a person who possesses the faculties necessary to be a president, stating that,"
