Broadway is a lot like Hollywood these days, always keeping it classy.
See for yourself.

From The Hill:
Veteran Broadway actress Carole Cook referenced Abraham Lincoln’s assassin while responding to a question about President Trump, asking: “Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him?” “Now will that get me in trouble?” Cook, 94, added during a Sunday interview with TMZ. The remark came after the entertainment news site asked Cook — who starred in “42nd Street” and “Hello, Dolly!” on Broadway — about a “Frozen” actor ripping a pro-Trump flag from an audience member’s hands during a curtain call last week. “He killed presidents,” Cook’s husband, standing alongside her, said of Booth.
“Don’t say that,” Cook shot back. “They’ll get me for that.”
Umm … but she did say it. Did she not realize what Booth did when she made her gross comment?
