So our illustrious new Vice-President-elect decided to go out for a night on the town and see the acclaimed musical Hamilton. And here is what the spectacularly diverse cast had to say to Mr. #2-Asshole-In-Chief:
“We sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us.”

Yeah, alarmed and anxious is a nice way to put it.
But not everyone was as polite as the cast. Here are some delicious boos (which are wayyyy more my style).
Here's Pence getting booed as he gets to his seats at Hamilton pic.twitter.com/IRQG68x1sB

And Shannon says the entire theatre just booed him. Getting closer and closer to MY style:
At #Hamilton. Mike Pence is here and the entire theater just booed him.

And here we have arrived….at MY style.
During "You'll Be Back (Reprise)" they had to keep pausing the song while people jeered Pence on every line. https://t.co/ZSIG7qnfiM

But things got really awkward when they started singing about immigrants.
I'm at #Hamilton and so is Mike Pence. Crowd booed him like crazy, and gave a standing O at the line "immigrants we get the job done" 1/2
— Christy Colburn (@christymoose) November 19, 2016
Ouch.
2/2 Crowd went NUTS at King George's lines "when people say they hate you" & "do you know how hard it is to lead?" He had to stop the song.

Double ouch. (I LOVE it)
But alas, the cast has more hope that we snarks here at MLH have.
“We truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of us,” Dixon said. “This is one American story told by a diverse group of men and women of different colors, creeds and origins.”
Because we don’t think he gives a damn about anyone but himself and people who look like him and his new boss.
Reminder that the current star of Hamilton is the incomparable Javier Muñoz, an openly gay, openly HIV-positive actor. Pay attention, Pence.

Hey Mike Pence, is it OK with you if the gays still do the whole Broadway thing? Can we hire one of them to do your ugly azz boss’s hair? Eh?
