“
#Hamilton” producers cancelled the Tony Award-winning musical’s spring 2026 run at the Kennedy Center Wednesday, citing the politicization of the performing arts center as the primary reason.
#JeffSeller stated that the “spirit of nonpartisanship ended on February 7” when President
#DonaldTrump fired former President
#DeborahRutter and named himself as chairman, replacing billionaire donor
#DavidRubenstein.
“Hamilton was proudly performed at the Kennedy Center in 2018 during the first Trump administration,” Seller wrote in a statement to X. “We are not acting against his administration, but against the partisan policies of the Kennedy Center as a result of his recent takeover.”
