‘Hamilton’ audience member charged after shouting

(CHICAGOTRIBUNE) — An audience disruption took place at the Saturday evening production of “Hamilton” at the PrivateBank Theatre in downtown Chicago.

According to audience member Brea Hayes of Batavia, who was at the performance, an audience member seated in the front of the balcony shouted profanities and election-related political statements after the cast sang the line, “Immigrants / We get the job done,” which is part of the show’s “Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)” number.

That lyric is among the most overtly political references in the show and generally gets a big reaction from the audience.

Tribune reporter Jodi Cohen, who was seated in the dress circle at the performance, said that the disruption from the man above lasted for two songs. Cohen also said that the “Hamilton” actors seemed strikingly somber during the bows at the end of the show.
