Hamilton's most controversial week also turned out to be its most profitable.
On Nov. 19, Vice President-elect Mike Penceattended a performance of Hamilton, which ended with actor Brandon Victor Dixon's plea for equality that provoked criticism from Donald Trump and calls for a boycott.
As the New York Times reports, audiences did the opposite of boycotting the hit Broadway production, which earned $3.3 million for eight shows last week, setting a new Broadway record for most money earned in a single week.

Pretty surprising that a boycott called for by people who never had intentions of going did hurt business.
Lin-Manuel bless!!!
