And so the push back begins ....

The hit musical Hamilton is canceling its 2026 run at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. This is in response to President Trump's decision to take over the art institution last month.

According to a statement by Hamilton producer Jeffrey Seller on X, "The recent purge by the Trump Administration of both professional staff and performing arts events at or originally produced by the Kennedy Center flies in the face of everything this national center represents."

Clearing the stage for Donald Trump: The Musical 😴

The Kennedy Center represented freedom of expression, creativity, and inclusivity in the performing arts . . which cannot be tolerated in Trump's America.

EVERY performer, outside of Kanye West, Kid Rock and Rob Schneider, should refuse to perform there. And any decent person should never drop a dime for a seat until he's gone. Bring it to it's knees.
It's now the antithesis of what it was intended for. This is an easy call. Let's see who has the guts to do it.
