FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor A WORLD DIVIDED The Hamilton cast vs Trump/Pence controversy is interesting, isn’t it? I’m in total agreement with the Broadway Musical, both in that they felt it was within their “brand” so to speak, to address Vice President elect Pence on the issues of multi-culturalism, which could be at stake during the upcoming Administration; and that they waited until after the show had completely ended, including curtain calls, to make the statement, showing concern for the proper handling of such an unprecedented act.
