I'm sure there are Trump supporters who go to theatre (it seems possible that a couple of posters here may have voted for Trump), and probably a higher percentage outside New York, but still I agree that most theatregoers in the U.S. lean Democratic.

I'm not even sure it's really a red/blue thing. I don't doubt plenty of republicans attend arts events. But trump clearly has no interest or feel or support for the arts (at least he's never shown any - was there ANY White House concert in those 4 long years?) so I tend to wonder if the people who really support him have any interest either.

Biden: Bringing back style to the White House

Joe Biden revived the ''In Performance at the White House'' series and returned to the tradition of attending the Kennedy Honors.

But have Joe and Jill seen any theater on Broadway or in D.C. during his term? I remember Barack and Michelle taking in a Broadway show or two.

(I also remember the ''Hamilton'' cast addressing Mike Pence in its N.Y. audience, but can't recall Trump going to any Broadway during his term.)

Actually, Trump does like theatre, or at least he used to. I suppose that one of the shows he apparently loved was Evita might be viewed as saying something. :)

And he seems to love Phantom, or at least he told Hal Prince at a Broadway preview that he'd seen it twice in London and the night before on Broadway. So he saw it two nights in a row. At least that is Prince's story.
