Angry Trump supporters confuse Hamilton the musical with Hamilton Theatre Inc. on Twitter

Trump supporters vow to boycott Hamilton the musical, but tag Ontario establishment instead


Hamilton Theatre Inc. received dozens of angry tweets over the weekend, but not because they’d done something wrong.


Many angry Americans had mistaken the Ontario theatre company’s Twitter handle — @HamiltonTheatre — for that of Hamilton, the hit Broadway musical (@HamiltonMusical), the cast and crew of which had criticized Donald Trump’s running mate Mike Pence Friday night.


Riane Leonard, a member of the Canadian company’s production team and manager of its Twitter account, first noticed the online activity on Friday night and thought it was just audience members talking about enjoying The Toxic Avenger, the show now being staged by the Steeltown troupe. She said Sunday that once she read the tweets — one said the company “should be held accountable for their human rights violations” — she thought, “What could we possibly have done to deserve this?”


From the New York stage, after Friday’s performance, actor Brandon Victor Dixon told Pence — the U.S. vice-president-elect — that he and the cast and crew of the Broadway show fret that Trump and his future administration will not protect “us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights.” .


President-elect Trump took to Twitter early Sunday to say that Pence had been harassed, and demanded an apology from Hamilton’s cast and producers.


Trump supporters, joining in, contacted the wrong theatrical Hamilton. Leonard said she corrected a few of them but she didn’t want to get into a “never-ending fight.


“If they only had looked at our profile, it says Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, several times. That just goes to show something about hate-mongering on the Internet and the lack of effort people put forward.”

It's a sad day for America when half of its people are labeled as "Trump Supporters." There was a day when all Americans would rally around their new President.

Pretty lame.

That we don't all rally or that we should?

I'm surprised they didn't show up in Hamilton, Ohio...
