“We, sir, we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir,” said Brandon Victor Dixon, the actor who played Aaron Burr, reading a statement the cast members had drafted together.
“But we truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and work on behalf of all of us. All of us,” he continued.

Trump being Trump, the president-elect punched back.
“The Theater must always be a safe and special place,” Trump tweeted. “The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!”
There was a certain irony to Trump’s demand, considering that as a candidate he rarely if ever apologized for the blizzard of insults he sprayed across the country.
...
Trump’s defenders rushed to condemn the “Hamilton” cast and voice outrage at perceived disrespect. His supporters started a “#BoycottHamilton” campaign on Twitter — although “Hamilton” tickets are such a hot commodity that the production is sold out well into next year.
“The arrogance and hostility of the Hamilton cast to the Vice President elect (a guest at the theater) is a reminder the left still fights,” tweeted former House speaker Newt Gingrich, an informal Trump adviser.

Ding, Ding, Ding. Is there any doubt who wins. I say a knock out.
“your new administration will not protect us”
From muslims?
Typical libtard is not making any sense.
The cast and audience at Hamilton demonstrated for the whole world to see that they are vastly immature, have no class, and are mindless parrots of the corrupt media. VP elect Pence should not have been embarrassed whatsoever. It is just a tremendous shame that the poor man could not relax after a very taxing election for a night out with his family. No—these babyish miscreants had to try and ruin that for him. The rudeness was completely on the cast and the audience. I sincerely hope that people of good heart will boycott these disgusting people and their play, cutting off their “power” at the knees.
Brandon Victor Dixon? His parents named him after a pair of jockey shorts?
Sorry, I tried...really tried...but I just can’t read that politicized, racist, crap.
Excellent!
Sorry. Our RULERS have been in safe spaces for too long.
These lib actors are jerks. But I'm glad that our rulers finally talk back to them. For a generation, the royalty haven't been exposed to so much as a protest sign.
OMG if you didn’t see Judge Janine’s open tonight about the cast of Hamilton it is a MUST SEE!!! She was ON FIRE!!!
Democrats: making theater suck for Republicans since 1865.
Just saw a meme of Abraham Lincoln on Facebook saying, “Why can’t Democrats ever just let a Republican go to a play?”
Another meme said, “Dear Mike Pence, don’t feel bad. The Democrats booed Me, too. Signed, God.”
I don’t care who someone is, left or right, but they don’t deserve to be lectured while attending a show. It was extremely rude (and very low class) to boo the VP elect, and it was even worse to lecture him after the show. Have no doubt. This wasn’t a two-way conversation. It was a left-wing cast lecturing the VP elect.
This is the kind of trash people pay $$ to hope to be entertained.
Dynamite.......right on target!!!
Diverse?
But not in political thought though right Hamilton cast?
Excellent
WOW!!!!!!!! that will go viral!!
Diverse means “ no whites need apply”
This stunt cast light on the racist casting call the show issued
Elitism = paying $600 for a cheap seat and worrying that Trump,is a threat to the poor and disadvantaged
BOOM! Wish there were a Trump job for her...
