Tonight, VP-Elect Mike Pence attended #HamiltonBway . After the show, @BrandonVDixon delivered the following statement on behalf of the show. pic.twitter.com/Jsg9Q1pMZs
Hamilton (@HamiltonMusical) November 19, 2016

Friday night, Vice President-elect Mike Pence took a moment out of his Trump administration-building duties to attend a performance of the musical Hamilton . Many politicians have taken a seat at Richard Rodgers Theatre for the same musical. But Pences experience was a little different.

Before the show even began, Pence was reportedly booed (as well as applauded) as he took his seat. During the show, certain scenes of the production took on new meaning with the VP-elects presence King Georges On Your Own solo , for example, was met with a long ovation. Following curtain call, actor Brandon Dixon then spoke directly to Pence :

We, sir, we are the diverse America, who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir. But we truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us.

Hamilton, for those of you not familiar, is Lin-Manuel Mirandas musical take on Founding Fathers history acted out by a cast of nearly all performers of color. As Dixon, who plays Aaron Burr (a former American vice president), reiterated, the performers playing historically white characters from Americas revolutionary years represent a diverse group of men, women, of different colors, creeds and orientations.

Miranda himself has spoken often about the productions significance in this years vitriolic election season. In a year when politicians traffic in anti-immigrant rhetoric, there is also a Broadway musical reminding us that a broke, orphan immigrant from the West Indies built our financial system, Miranda explained at an address at the University of Pennsylvania earlier this year . A story that reminds us that since the beginning of the great, unfinished symphony that is our American experiment, time and time again, immigrants get the job done.

Trump/Pence are appointing white nationalists & planning to gut civil & women's rights. Shame on us if we ever STOP booing. #Hamilton

Founding fathers like Hamilton, gave us freedom of expression, right to protest our leaders. I suspect Hamilton would be ok with the booing. https://t.co/YTjtYVprrd
Ana Navarro (@ananavarro) November 19, 2016

In response to Pences trip to Broadway, some critics have admonished crowds for booing our future vice president . President-elect Donald Trump called the Hamilton cast rude , asking them to apologize to his running mate for their public statement.

Still others questioned whether or not the media should be focusing on Hamilton at all, when there are other issues to highlight the increase in reports of hate crimes across the country, Trumps agreement to pay $25 million in fines and restitution to settle three fraud lawsuits, the mounting conflicts of interest attached to Trumps administration, the rise in visibility of white supremacists linked to Trumps supporters.

Nonetheless, writers and actors and fans across the internet have celebrated the casts decision to send a peaceful, respectful message to a man who has attempted to institute policies harmful to the LGBTQ community . A man who supported conversion therapy as a member of Congress and gave a speech in which he said that marriage equality would lead to societal collapse.

The cast of Hamilton couldn't have been more respectful. They welcomed Pence, they addressed him seriously, urged crowd not to boo.

Reminder that the current star of Hamilton is the incomparable Javier Muoz, an openly gay, openly HIV-positive actor. Pay attention, Pence.
Marc Snetiker (@MarcSnetiker) November 19, 2016

In his statement, Dixon welcomed Pence to the theater, discouraged booing from the audience, and calmly voiced his and his cast-mates views to an audience they might never get again. The Hamilton cast took advantage of not only the fact that they, for one night, shared the same space as someone capable of influencing the make-up of our future presidential cabinet , but also the fact that Hamilton itself has an undeniable sphere of influence.

Hamilton has the power to capture the attention of the media. And it has the power to capture the attention of its audience two-thirds of which could constitute tourists not based in New York City . Its true that an overwhelming number of Broadway fans capable of affording tickets have college degrees (Trump won two-to-one among people without a college degree ), and that people attending Hamilton were likely there because a like-minded and probably liberal acquaintance suggested they attend (personal recommendation was the most influential factor in show selection, Broadway League reports).

Yet, a production expected to generate upward of $1 billion in sales , that has always engaged in the politics of our time , has the capacity to reach more people than your average pop culture phenomenon. (Theres a chance young kids in the #EduHam program are taking notes.) And thats not a platform to be taken lightly. Its precisely why Dixon told audience members to take out their phones and record his speech.

Even if Hamilton isnt speaking directly to Trump and Pence supporters, the cast is certainly speaking to dissenters wondering how they can stand up against people and policies dangerous to marginalized people to people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ individuals, women. This is what free speech looks like, Dixon might have said to his audience. This is what solidarity looks like. This is what respectful disagreement looks like.

We should be capable of thinking simultaneously about the issues that need more investigative reporting and the reality of freedom of expression in the United States. Now that Hamilton has the internets attention again, those of us spreading its message are capable of channeling that audience into action. So, heres a list of volunteer and donation opportunities those affected by Dixons words can turn to. Heres another . And another . And another . As writer Lauren Duca suggested shortly after the performance, people can also donate specifically to Broadway Cares Equity Fights Aids .

Why not dedicate that donation to Pence?

@realDonaldTrump conversation is not harassment sir. And I appreciate @mike_pence for stopping to listen.
