Hillary Clinton received a reaction that Mike Pence was likely hoping for when he ventured out to see Hamilton shortly after the 2016 election. Instead of a lecture from the stage and boos from those in attendance, Clinton was given a standing ovation by the crowd that made it seem more like a political rally than a theater performance.
The former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate attended the Tony award-winning play Oslo on Sunday — telling the story of the Oslo Middle East Peace Accords that saw “back-channel” negotiations that eased tensions between Israel and Palestine in the early ’90s — and almost outshined the show itself once people took notice:

It’s not everyday that people chant your name as you walk to your seats in a theater. Imagine Clinton going to see a movie with her husband and how annoying it would get around the fourth or fifth time it happens. But it seems to be different on Broadway and her trip to see Oslo marks her fifth ovation in New York’s iconic theater district. Similar moments happened when Clinton attended showings of Sunset Boulevard, In Transit and The Color Purple according to The Huffington Post.
So we live in a world where Trump has a steel grip on the Twitter and meme-loving crowd, while Hillary Clinton is firmly in control of theater lovers all across the country. And John Kasich is the king of chefs all over the country.
More Staging by the Queen of bullshit.
They all probably voted for her. But I doubt many have given to her foundation. She might get a different reception from those folks.
I hope she has a long and happy future of not ever being president of the United States and getting applause at theater shows.
But you’re right. Wouldn’t surprise me if that entire ovation were as staged as the rest of the show.
Well, not for Hillary it isn't. She never could draw a crowd when she was on the campaign trail like the Donald could and still can.
I much rather she sees the inside of a jail cell.
Oslo? Wasn’t that where the Middle East was relatively peaceful from those accords but the Slickster wanted peace with a deadline in order to outshine former President Carter and ended up causing more violence?
Pence didn’t expect a standing ovation, just a quite night with his family.
Hillary expected it and she felt entitled to it and probably manipulated it.
Only way Hillary is going to get a standing ovation, surely not for her political accomplishments.
Where were these people when Hillary needed their votes?
They finally ignited her victory fireworks over the Hudson last night. Good for her.
When I go to the theater, I go for an evening of entertainment, not to be applauded and not to make a political statement. I should use the past tense though - I no longer go because that form of entertainment is completely politicized as the reactions to Hillary and to Pence demonstrate. I suspect Pence went for the same reason I used to, but he won't make that mistake again, and I hope the conservative half of the country will also boycott Broadway.
>He who laughs last laughs the loudest! ...
His crown jewel Hillary joke was "I want to know, when Hillary starts yelling at Bill...if she starts in with 'why can't you pick up after yourself? Your pants have been on this chair for days..." I wanna know...does he go there? Does he look at her, and say 'you know, if you has some charisma...' "
That brought the house down.
So while the theater crowd may be sycophants, the normal people in NY seem to be pretty happy laughing at her.
New York Sewer City.
