The Theater must always be a safe and special place.The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. But this belief ― that the theater is a place of political neutrality, that its halls are meant to be a “safe and special place” ― is a fallacy. News flash: Broadway has always been political. There’s “Hair,” which amplified the voices of the counterculture movement in 1960s America and those who opposed the Vietnam War. In that sense of political, there are a lot of serious plays doing their work in the world.”
